Now, some would think that this would be an easy diary to write...and to be honest..it is.
And some would think that this kind of diary would be pure "Red Meat," and an easy candidate for the rec list...and they would be right.
And as much as I like the limelight, this is a wholly negative diary...so, as a sideways tribute to Abby Hoffman:
Please don't rec this diary!
This diary is a plaything, that should gracefully wilt to the bottom of the pile, carrying our negative thoughts about McTrolls with it.
So...on with the fun!
Most of the McTrolls that have graced this site in the last 10 months, have been of the easily identifiable type. They share these common traits:
1. Low Intelligence. They can echo Fox Noise talking points, but don't really understand the logic or principals behind those talking points. When challenged, they repeat said talking points LOUDER, which in their circles is the equivalent of reaching self-actualization.
2. Impatience. A troop of adolescent baboons have more self restraint than your average McTroll. They typical can't be bothered with building site cred, and they generally try a drive-by diary on their first attempt. This is called projection. Because they are a member of the Trait #1 group above, they think that we are also. They assume that they are the pinnacle of wit and intelligence, because in their social group, they are.
3. Self-Centered Philosophy. These folks use talking points that like to emphasize their own needs, above the common good, and want to reaffirm that they, themselves, won't be making any sacrifices. The only non-comic book based literature that these folks have ever read, are the first four chapters of "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand
It was easier to identify McTrolls in the old days, but they've recently become more clever. This is "evolution" at work, (this word confuses McTrolls), and only the ones who can pump their own gas, have survived. We know who they are, and also their sockpuppet alter egos.
In some ways, they are a unique window into the Republican mindset. Thinking is discouraged. An exclusive diet of popcorn and soda is their idea of an intellectually healthy meal. Details are for nerds. These folks are "men" of action. These folks go fishing with Dynamite, and think that it's a great time saver.
We know who, and what these people are. They represent the "Rovian Dirty Tricks" wing of the GOP. These are the most committed, unthinking, and uncaring part of the Grand Ole Party of Dipshits.
I now would like to open the floor up to your feelings on this matter. Please feel free to express your true feelings about McTrolls...and remember...Don't rec this diary.
Cheers!
