People Creating Fake Profiles of Politicians is Not Cyberwarfare
Daniel Greenfield
Trolling is not cyberwarfare. Comparing spam and trolling to a war, let alone Pearl Harbor and 9⁄11, and urging swift government crackdowns is creepy and totalitarian. And the media, which constantly whines about a war on the press, is the loudest in inciting a crackdown. Take this utterly bizarre AP story. Please. Campaigns on their…

Daniel Greenfield
I made this distinction in an article earlier this week. There’s a big difference between political scandals involving people in politics and ordinary people.

Or as Nancy Pelosi calls it, “crumbs”. Here’s what the Democrats have been labeling the “tax scam” at work. And making a difference for hundreds of thousands of Americans.
