Netvogates or netvocates where people were hired by conservative activists orgs to monitor websites, blogs and forums and make posts using certain phrases and wording in an attempt to embed conservative talking points in readers' psyche.

I sensed that several posts in some threads were actually posted by these shit-stirrers but whenever I brought up the possibility of this site being targeted by conservative posters, I got laughed at for having CRAZY ideas! Yes, I know who was doing the laughing!

But I'm sure netvocates/netvogates is still around and working under some name or other...
