Are You a Bush Booster–or Basher? (MSNBC Outs Freeps Manipulating Poll)

[kskiska]

(snip)

Editor's Note: This week, the online version of the Newsweek poll received an unusually high rate of response, with the clear majority of participants casting uniform votes. For these reasons, we believe the poll is being intentionally manipulated. In addition, we received an e-mail alert suggesting that the campaign is being coordinated by at least one special-interest group.

Subject: ALERT--Action Needed

We have been requested by the White House to click on the following link and participate in the Newsweek Poll: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4205947/ Please do it as soon as possible. Please pass this on.

Bunny Chambers GOP National Committeewoman for Oklahoma

1. I had already seen this, but...

"Requested by the White House"?! The WH now makes it their business to skew internet polls? ye gods...

[snippy]

14. Turd Blossom Rove has around 140 people on his staff.

This was as of over one year ago. He probably has more now. Besides, what is more important to Bush? Running the country or ruining the country?

[POed_Ex_Repub]

2. BUSTED!

LMAO

[MidwestTransplant]

3. Doh

[Gato Moteado]

4. bunny chambers?

sounds like a porn star

[CatWoman]

10. didn't you know??? that's my porn name

:hi:

[PaDUer]

31. The dummy freepers

have turned it around on their site now to say that we're freeping the polls...they're a bunch of idiot dipshits..they've been caught redhanded and are crying..check their board updates..lol

[sidwill]

5. Ha

Busted, although we do the same darn thing.

[Sterling]

11. Usually DUers do not advocate people vote more than once

Where as it is pretty much a given at FR. I only vote once in these kind of polls.

[demdave]

16. Sorry. but I have to disagree

Not only have I been advised to vote repeatedly but I have been given instructions on how to trick the system into letting you. This is one reason I very seldom read or believe any Internet polls.

I don't think you find people that are any more partisan or passionate about their views on the DU than on the FR. We are just opposite poles of the political spectrum.

[markses]

17. Oh yeah

we...:eyes:

[SinkingInTheRain]

21. I take you have never seen our "Let's DU this poll"?

That's the we I think he was talking about. Have you really never seen the posts here that suggest we "DU this poll"? Really?

[markses]

28. I've seen them

Plenty of them. I even agree with dave's point. Just not his pronoun. See? See? See? :eyes:

[demdave]

32. You have to overlook his objections

As he later states to you, he agrees with me and my points...this time. I believe the bunch in his panties are the results of disagreements on other points we may have had. This, combined with the rules against calling fellow DUers Freepers and the likes, forces him to use snide insinuations instead. Childish perhaps, but I am sure it helps him cope. :evilgrin:

[markses]

35. Coping just fine here

And rather a bunch in the panties than a load in the briefs, coolio.

[JoFerret]

25. But we/ you are NOT the White House

.

[Mari333]

6. So they have been caught cheating again eh

thats so lame. But par for the course for those liars. Its good to see they have been labelled as a special interest group, i.e. hate group who cheats via Rove issuance . What sheep they all are.

[central scrutinizer]

7. should have read MSNBC outs White House?

The last paragraph implies the White House is mobilizing the freepers.

[htuttle]

9. There's actually a 'Bunny Chambers'...

...who actually is the National GOP Committeeperson for Oklahoma. :shrug: Seems authentic enough.

Here:

Pathetic as hell, though.

[JoFerret]

30. Rove activating Freepers

- THAT is the issue. Pathetic

[Point_n_click]

8. Typical of the White House ...

If they don't like the real answers enlist help changing the results to fit their objectives. Just like how they manipulated and lied about the intelligence on WMD in order to get backing for their invasion of Iraq.

[Cooley Hurd]

12. Rove really stretches his tentacles...

...to now include unscientific, online polls???

And he's paid HOW MUCH to do this? :grr:

[Rationality]

13. I saw this thread a while ago...

I thought it was a regular hobby among the Miserable Freeple. Either way I voted through that link with the opposite views.

Pretty funny hearing them get caught, however :+

[JitterbugPerfume]

15. haha

BUSTED!!!

[Carni]

18. Jesus Christ

They have been freeping polls for what?

At least 6 years and someone at MSNBC is NOW noticing?

I am so thrilled that our crack media has finally caught on- geez!

[SinkingInTheRain]

22. Have "we" ever "DU'ed a poll"?

Search on" "DU this poll".

[Cooley Hurd]

34. "Let's DU this poll..."

...is only a notice of a polls existence, and encouraging DUers to participate. I defy anyone here to show me where it promotes cheating on any "DU this poll" posts! My challenge to you...

:foottapping:

[madrchsod]

19. we do the same thing here-BUT-

no official tells us to do it,do they? dumb assed move for the freepers posting this on their website. maybe msnbc will start to figure out what is happening...well i can dream,can`t i?

[SinkingInTheRain]

20. Let's hope they don't expose our "Let's DU this poll" threads.

Otherwise it looks like MSNBC may be coming around back to the liberal side instead of the bush cheering team.

[Desperadoe]

23. Speaking of exposed

You have posted the same response three times to this thread. I got your point the first time.

[PaDUer]

26. You're fairly new around here...

hope you stay.. :-)

[JoFerret]

27. No publicity is bad

publicity for a discussion board. For a White House operation it is pathetic.

[progressivebydesign]

33. I honestly take "DU a poll" meaning VOTE.

Does not mean vote multiple times.. or cheat. Friends send me poll links all the time, being made aware of a poll, does not mean we are cheating it. I haven't read one post here in the past few years that advocate cheating a poll that way.

The question of this situation is having the White House supposedly using our tax dollars to further Bush's standing in the 2004 race. If one of the Democratic candidates did that on here, we'd reject it fast. It's sleazy.

[0007]

24. Busted!

[imax2268]

29. We have done the DU poll thing...

but I think we are only bringing attention to the polls...at least I don't think that any DU'ers turn off their cookies and vote more than once...

anyway...you freeper zipper heads are BUSTED...!!!

[depakid]

36. Even without the freepers, this poll was MEANT to be bias

And would have had built in bias even had it not been an online poll. Notice the grouping of the questions and the types of allowable responses.... even the title of the fucking thing is meant to attract certain kinds of respondents.

This is a classic example of why everyone should be EXTREMELY skeptical of almost ANY poll done in America these days.

I know I carp on this all of the time, but only because it's true- and because so many DU'ers seem to place a lot of weight on results that most trained analysts could pick apart in their sleep.

[proud patriot]

37. hee hee hee

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Busted ... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

One person one vote , Integrity ..

[Moderator]

38. Sorry, no polls in LBN

Feel free to repost elsewhere. Thanks.
