Hacked Emails Reveal Russian Astroturfing Program 153
gotfork writes "Quoting The Guardian: 'A pro-Kremlin group runs a network of internet trolls, seeks to buy flattering coverage of Vladimir Putin and hatches plans to discredit opposition activists and media, according to private emails allegedly hacked by a group calling itself the Russian arm of Anonymous.' While a similar program has operated in China for a long time, and some commentators have suggested that a similar program exists in Russia, this is the first confirmation."

Am I the only one who gigglesnorted after reading this?
I don't want to sound trollish, but obama was practically heralded as the chosen one, and anyone who spoke out against him was reflexively labeled a racisist biggot.....
So, now its perfectly possible to say he's a douche who shouldn't have been elected, and not be called a racisist fuck?
When did that happen? I'm honestly curious.......
