Comment spammers, Barack Obama, RFK, and Hillary

by · May 23, 2008

Blog comment spammers are the equivalent of the guy you catch masturbating in the car next to you at the stop light and honking his car horn. He’s not not going to get anyone’s attention unless he forces it. I hate that guy and I hate comment spammers just as much.

On the poker blog for which I write, we’ve been dealing with a recent onslaught of comment spam that is unlike any I have seen before. What’s more, it’s a little more than disturbing. The key words in the spam were “Next Robert F. Kennedy” and the comment spam was pushed heavily into a post with the word “Shooting” in the title.

I hate those guys.

Apparently, though, the scum of the earth aren’t the only ones remembering RFK’s june in 1968. I love it when a legitimate candidate for President actually alludes to the fact that dropping out of the race is a bad idea because…well, people have been assasinated before, right?

    Senator Clinton: “You can see from Senator Obama’s schedule that there are possible security weak points. Here. Here. And definitely here. I only note this because racist right wingers will be conspiring during the fall election.”

    What do you think Hillary meant :

    a. Something happens to OB prior to Nov.

    b. She knows something will happen to OB prior to Nov.

    c. She simply mispoke?

    Seriously, I wouldn’t put anything past the Clintons.

    Dear Random101,

    I wouldn’t be concerned about Right Wingers in this case. I would be worried about people from OB’s own party.

    Dear lord, she was talking about reasons to stay in the race, and gave two examples of why she should stay in until the end. Tragic as the reference to Bobby K was, it did not have any real reference to BO. Only in today’s world of talking heads, hyper sensitivity, and over analysis could that require an appology. I am not a fan of HC, but dear lord we really need to get over ourselves.

    I can’t wait until all this campaigning is over. I hate election years.

    I’m going to hide under a rock until it’s done.
