I am tired of bloggers having all of these fake comments in order to defend themselves or make themselves more important than they really are!!
So STOP IT!!!
Thank you.
You’re funny RWD, but that guy, fmragtops, is the bestest ever. Did you know he hasn’t written any books and has never been quoted on the floor of The Senate.
Mr. Duck,
We shall never surrender!” June 4, 1940.
Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”- 29 October 1941
…and Never forget! You are my hero.
Sock puppeting is terrible, unless you’ve had a New York Times bestseller and been quoted on the Senate floor and won a spelling bee in 2nd grade and come in 3rd at the Pinewood Derby when you were 8 (and would have won but Todd and Jim’s dad let them cheat) and are extra, extra special and wonderful like me, I mean like Glenn Greenwald.
Hmm. I see that zer are two posts from Mr. Elvis Presley within one minute of each other. I believe this demonstrates my theories on relativity quite nicely.
Yes Jon,
Sock Puppets are in fact the tool of Dick Cheney, since Haliburton took over the 9 planes of Hell in a hostile takeover a few years back. In fact, reports indicate that Hell has been a most profitable acquisition for Haliburton. It gives them quite an edge, you know, in the no-bid contracts.
I can’t believe you’re attacking Glenn Greenwald again. I think you’re just jealous that he has a popular blog, gets read about by Congresspeople, has a law degree and never, ever uses Sock Puppets to get people to consider his point of view. Have you no shame sir???
You know, Wilson, you make a very good point. Glenn Greenwald is a very fine human being, has a law degree, and has had his blog posts read on the floor of Congress. What kind of second-class citizen would attack him for Sock Puppetry? Jealous much??
I stand with Wilson and Willington on the Glenn Greenwald issue. He is a fine human being, has a law degree and has had his blog posts read on the floor of Congress. You are clearly a deranged and mentally defective loser to continue to attack him in this churlish manner. I bid you good day!
Get off Greenwald’s back, you RightWingnut! You haven’t had a NY Times best seller, litigated some of the Best Constitutional Law Cases EVER! Nor have you been quoted on the senate floor during the debate on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and by your own (lying admission you dishonest scum) never moved to Brazil to hang out with numerous hot dudes who completely adore your cute little butt and incandescent brilliance but nevertheless post under false names from your I.P. address and drag your name through the mud and neglect their duties to fetch umbrella drinks from the mini-bar whilst wearing delectible little banana hammocks, you sick, perfidious right wing hippocrat. So what would you know? See Glenn Greenwald’s brilliant takedown of Frank J. for further information.
Wilbert, Wilson, Willington and I (or as I like to call us, the 4 Ws of the leftpocalypse) are clearly the plurality on this post, and we (well, I,since I can’t speak for these other fine people) demand an immediate apology for Glenn Greenwald, who has a law degree and has had is blog posts read on the floor of Congress. If you do not immediately delete this post, and all comments not supporting Glenn Greenwald, who has a very popular blog, you will no longer be visited by my august presence.
Well, I never!
I retract what I said. Frank J is just exercising his right to free speech. Anyone who provides monentary support to Mark Warner is definitely not a Wanker of the Day.
Mister Glenn esta muy magnifico y muy caliente. Hablo espanol mal en este blog por que sus Americanos no hablamos Portugeuse. Viva Glenn Greenwald. Esta muy, muy delicioso!
This is the thread that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people went and posted to it not knowing what it was, and they will post forever just because this is the thread that never ends
Well, that’s all cool, but real sockpuppets aren’t fake famous people, ideally you want a sock puppet to be a ‘regular guy’ who by gosh agrees that you totallly insightful and brilliant. Even more ideal, whatever your slant, the sockpuppet ostensibly should have hte opposite biases and outlooks, but by god you convinced him “hey, I’m a democrat but this guy has some great points about Bush that have completely turned me around!” that way your sock puppet can’t be dismissed with ‘your just another wacko Republican (or w/e) fanatic- the idea of sockpuppets is to create a varied and broad universe of men, women, young, old, conservative and liberal defenders that, even though they have nothing in common with you (other than the fact they are you) will come rushing to defend you and tell the world how smart you are.
I’m an old hand at net forums, and real aficianados were expert at this: you keep 5-6 sleeper “alters” (thats what we called them) so that if you got in a flamewar your defender hadnt just regged that very day, which is a pretty good tell that its a sock puppet. You posted with the various alters now and then to get their post count up, give them a history, even take contrary positions, so that when crunch time came, people would be like “wow, even Gooberheadly agrees with this guy, he must be on to something!”
This seems nuts, but I’ve seen it. You always wanna use proxies when you post with them so the mods (moderators) don’t figure you out. Also write in a different style, if you usually spell correctly, misspell words, use different grammar, pretend to be dumb, or nuts, or anythign to differentiate yourself. 5-10 allies on a net forum, even one with 1000’s of members, can seem like a virtual army, because the flamewar is mostly only of extreme importanc to you and the person you are flaming, so although people will watch with interest, they rarely get dragged into the nightmare (but it does happen, they can even take it over) so if you have 5-6 hard core defenders, you can say some really harsh crap through your alters and keep civil yourself, being the better man. Also, you look nuts if you have a second thought and keep posting posting posting, sometimes with all your posts in a row with no response: a sock puppet gets these thoughts out for you and seem to come from many sources, but all echo your basic philosophy and goodness.
This is much more rampant than people realize, you know. Setting up net fakery is old as the net and gets more sophisticated all the time. ONly these idiots who don’t bother to use proxies and etc. to hide their tracks are getting busted. THe greatest scammers are never caught because they are too good.
Goddamn, that docweasel guy is right on the money on this. Great post dude, I’ve been a long time reader of your posts and although I disagree with you about 90% of the time I have to admit your posts are very intelligently written and always contain valid arguments and info.
Even though we don’t agree, I respect you man, and anyone who flames you is a teh ghey and a friggin’ f***tard. PWNED!
I know I don’t normally agree with him, but docweasel is right this one time. He reminds me a lot of Glenn Greenwald, who has a law degree and has had his blog posts read on the floor of Congress.
For real perversity, you make a sockpuppet that vehemently disagrees with you, then you slowly turn him around with the force of your argument into one of your best defenders.
Then make 10-20 female sock puppets who all keep posting about what a great lover you are, and how all the other women should totally give you a try, because he is the absolute best and is hung like a wooly mammoth.
I agree completely with posters 1-5, 7, 11, 14-15, 18-21, and everyone who posted in Spanish. I find myself disagreeing with the posters who mentioned Glenn Greenwald, although as I think about it more I’m starting to change my mind.
So you right wingers this is funny, do you?
Go ahead and laugh, but I notice a familiar theme I see all the time on the right, and which I’ve been seeing for years. Calling for “an end” to sock puppets is a thinly disguised form of eliminationist rhetoric, which, while it masquerades as humor, will eventually work its way down to the violent, extremist right. Next will be pictures of socks with nooses — along with outright calls for the hanging of sock puppets until they are dead. (“Rope. Tree. Sock. Some assembly required.”)
We’ve seen it all before.
If I had been elected, there wouldn’t be any sock puppetry today! I would have destroyed all sock puppet theaters and already brought Lamb Chop to justice.
I don’t know why people are being so mean to Mr. Greenwald. He wrote a book, and Senators quote him all the time. And did I mention that he’s the best lawyer ever? Yeah. He’s better than Perry Mason, because he never ever ever loses a case in court….
Uh-oh. My nose is pushing me away from Mr. Geppetto’s computer.
I’m calling for an independant investigation into this so-called sock-puppetry. This administration cannot be trusted to investigate this, there are obvious conflicts of interest.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear. I’m going to say this again.
I did not use a wool argyle sock puppet on that blog at the specified time, IMAO dot com, and I never told anyone to use a wool argyle over the calf sock puppet with googly eyes and a red felt mouth to defend me, not once ever.
Now I want to go back to work doing the business of the American people.
I’m sorry, but that Kreskin comment killed me. I mean, Oh my Goood! Like Mr. Kreskin! By the way, have you heard of Scientology?
Telekinesis is a tool of Xenu.
Well said Mr. Duck. I wish I was as funny as you are!
You are so sexy. Good post!
You are so sexy. Good post.
I wish you were older. This way you could have served in Vietnam with me. Did you know I served in Vietnam? I love RWD!
I’d offer to let you host my show, but you might become more popular than me.
You so funny. Stop faking my name!
I’m gay.
Is it hot in here or is it just you?
YOU zing us good. Glad to see you are back.
You know. I’m looking for a good comedy writer…
You’re the best. I’m cereal. I’m SUPER cereal.
It’s not easy being a duck.
Hey! All those comments were from the same IP as your gay lover in Brazil!
Who is blogging under my good name?
I wish I could quit you RWD.
RWD is teh shiznit!!!1!!1!one!!
You’re funny RWD, but that guy, fmragtops, is the bestest ever. Did you know he hasn’t written any books and has never been quoted on the floor of The Senate.
Got any hot sisters, ol’ buddy?
I still can’t forget that time you came over to help me “unplug my kitchen sink” and we…well…you know
winkwink*
Mr. Duck,

I did answer all the questions sent in to me.
Dr. Ducky
What’s in the fridge?
Bravo. This heinous sock-puppetry should be stamped out. It’s all about the right wing’s perfidy.
Sock puppeting is terrible, unless you’ve had a New York Times bestseller and been quoted on the Senate floor and won a spelling bee in 2nd grade and come in 3rd at the Pinewood Derby when you were 8 (and would have won but Todd and Jim’s dad let them cheat) and are extra, extra special and wonderful like me, I mean like Glenn Greenwald.
Me and the Giant Robot agree!!
If you were a woman, I’d wrestle you. And probably win.
I will throw my shield at this evil un-American sock puppets!
Heh. Indeed.
Just checking in. Keep up the good work. This is the GWOSP afterall.
I’m Chester
I like your shiny dress
Are you a princess?
Do you mind if I call you
Princess Passion?
Todos usted dado fascista de la voluntad.
Thank You, Thank You very much…for just being you.
Hey Mr. Duck.
I just… I just wanna say… you ain’t nothin but a hound dog, baby.
Heh. Indeed.
Hmm. I see that zer are two posts from Mr. Elvis Presley within one minute of each other. I believe this demonstrates my theories on relativity quite nicely.
Yes, because as we all know, Sock Puppets are the tool of Dick Cheney… I mean Satan!
Rob?
Yes Jon,
Sock Puppets are in fact the tool of Dick Cheney, since Haliburton took over the 9 planes of Hell in a hostile takeover a few years back. In fact, reports indicate that Hell has been a most profitable acquisition for Haliburton. It gives them quite an edge, you know, in the no-bid contracts.
You go to Hell! You go to hell and you die! And I hope your whole family is torn apart by wild dogs! RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Sock Puppets are insignificant next to the power of the Force. Except for Jar Jar Binks. That Jar-Jar sock puppet is pure evil, man. Pure Evil!
“Mr. Dr. Helen”. Priceless.

Can’t we all just get along????
Frank J is going to get Wanker of the Day if he keeps bringing up G.G.’s sock-puppetry.
Then he’ll be sorry.
D.
Ixnay on the Ankerway. Frank J is donating beaucoup bucks to the Mark Warner campaign!
I retract what I said. Frank J is just exercising his right to free speech. Anyone who provides monentary support to Mark Warner is definitely not a Wanker of the Day.
You had me at “I am.” …you had me at “I am.”
Geez, you call this sock puppetry? Come on!
Mister Glenn esta muy magnifico y muy caliente. Hablo espanol mal en este blog por que sus Americanos no hablamos Portugeuse. Viva Glenn Greenwald. Esta muy, muy delicioso!
Good job Mr. RWD. BTW That Imelda Markos chick is really…what…oh..Never Mind!
Pip pip, Mr Duck. Keep up the good work and all that. Tally ho!

What do you folks have against sock puppets anyway? I mean, yeah, that pets.com puppet is kind of a dick but you can’t hold that loser against us…
This is the thread that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people went and posted to it not knowing what it was, and they will post forever just because this is the thread that never ends
I hate the other lambchop.
Come home Lambchop and shake hands with “Mr. Woody” again.
I hate that other Woberts.
I liked RWD before I hated him.
Glenn Greenwald is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
Err, I mean Glenn Greenwald is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life
Egads! A Yale man!
I hate Bizzaro Stormy.
BIZARRO!
I agree with the next two posters.
Yar! That Right wing duck can split my booty any day. Yo-Ho-Ho!
She’s right.
No (s)he ain’t.
I disagree with the previous poster.
Wait, yes I do.
Ceci n’est pas une commente.
Also, I am not a sock puppet.

Bloody. Awful.
After this performance, we’ll be obliged to call it “suck-puppetry.”
Truely awful.
I couldn’t disagree with the previous a-hole poster morer.
YOU GOT IT GOING ON, DUCK-BABY!!!!!
Wow! All I can say is … WOW!
Yo, Duck!
Let me hear everyone give it up for The Duck!!!!!
Yieahh! The Duck Pound be feelin’ ya, daw … uh, Duck!
Whoa …
Uhhhhh …
Whoa!
Someone’s spoofing you, boy. Ana Marie spells her name with only one ‘n’.

Great job, team. Head back to base for debriefing and cocktails.
Using sock puppets to voice your opinions is moronic.
That’s what cats are for.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.
I agreed with Frank before I disagreed with him

Dear sir,
I object STRONGLY to the next post.
Wilson! Wiiiiilson! WIIIIIILLLLSSSSSSSSSSOOOON!
(sob)
I agree completely with the previous comment. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Jay Manifold is, as usual, quite correct. Even though he comes from Arcturus.
No, not that one. The one before that. The comment about Wilson just brings back too many memories of that island…
Did you have to use such a heavy rock to cover my tomb? I think I threw out my back.
Make it work, Glenn Greemwald.
Carry on.

Nonsense, my boy, what could wrong with an Old Fashioned?

Why, I’ve sentenced boys younger than you to the electric chair. Didn’t want to do it. Felt I owed it to them.
Rope, Tree, Sock Puppet. Some Assembly required.
Hang them all, let sock-God sort them out!
OK class, anyone here who believes in telekinesis, raise my right hand.
I invented sock puppetry years ago, in fact right after I invented blogging.
Also, I’m much smarter than all of you.
Prettier, too.
Such a silly duck!
Sock puppets make great targets…
For the record – the first ten celebrity quotes were mine. It was fun to see others pick up the theme and run with it.

If we listened to Duck we wouldn’t have had all these problems the last 50 years.
I’m calling for an independant investigation into this so-called sock-puppetry. This administration cannot be trusted to investigate this, there are obvious conflicts of interest.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear. I’m going to say this again.
I did not use a wool argyle sock puppet on that blog at the specified time, IMAO dot com, and I never told anyone to use a wool argyle over the calf sock puppet with googly eyes and a red felt mouth to defend me, not once ever.
