I think the depressing part for Liberal supporters should be the shocking quality of the sockpuppet’s English.

Chris — I think you’d be surprised that everyday voters do visit DemocraticSPACE. Over the next week, we anticipate over 100,000 unique visitors. That’s a lot more than just wonks and hacks!

Posting multiple times under false identities is sleazy, but does anyone think comments here will influence voters? I’m pretty sure this website is visited mostly by political wonks and party hacks – people who’s vote was made up a long time ago. Why waster your time trying to pump up your candidate. If these comments are really made by campaign workers, they’re wasting their time. Go knock on some doors.

While we’re at it, I heard on CFRB that heckler who cornered John Tory yesterday and who claimed not to be a Liberal has a Liberal sign on his lawn and has donated to the Liberal party. Of course, that doesn’t make him a Liberal, but his heart is there. I think that a lot of these people who ask him and his candidate’s questions on faith based school funding are Liberal party members. The PCs really made a mistake on that policy. It has handed the Liberals a weapon that they can use to shroud themselves from other issues like the energy issue. If they get their way, the cost to us will make the health tax look small, especially if it costs you your job.

I agree ,Nick, in general. I have seen a growing trend in a lot of the last elections either to monopolize a site, or by abusive attacks on others expressing an opinion, to crush debate. Thanks, Greg, for taking definitive action to curtail this activity here. Nick is right that not all Liberals, or even most Liberals would support this anti-democratic activity.

I’m sure that these acts are not representive of the Liberal Party or Liberals as a whole. There are crooked people in every party.

The sockpuppets were pretty obvious in Parkdale-High Park, but I assumed it was the work of one overly zealous individual. I’m saddened to see that it’s a pattern.

Thanks for trying to keep the sleaze to a minimum.
