The original healthcare post reeks political activism and the responses only to make a point.

I used to and may go back volunteering for various Republican campaigns. I do read the "enemy's" blogs and get on their mailing list to follow their tactics and taking points.
There is a tactic of appealing to various interest groups with the campaign's talking points. There is a valid use for this tactic if it used within a related interest group, or example I would go to a sports shooters or NRA forum and communicate gun rights issue. Where this tactic is abused is when on try to infiltrate unrelated interest groups with the same taking points. For example taking point add "Fur" to it and some how one thinks they created a taking point they think that will appeal to all furries.

There are three huge problem. One we are not dumb sheep and we can see thought the sheepskin to the political wolf. Second it very rude for a person to join a group to exploit and push taking points and not the interest in the group. One there was a guy on the Christan fur forum who had no interest in furry fandom joined to just post the latest Obama taking point. At lest the person could shown second interest in the furry community. Finally it a huge pile of stinking red herring fallacy. The unrelated talking point detracts from the original interest of the group.
