As I´ve been following the discussion for the first time I´ve noticed that the old ways of political provocation in the party convention or the press have been transferred to these new small political forums. It seems to me that this way of influencing conversations and the discourse is reminent of the old ways of political provocation. As a student of international politics and political history I´ve noticed that the ways of shaping the form of the political opinions follow the classic formula of political heckling.

The point being: governmental and party affiliated instances are working in the field of indoctrination on internet sites as such as this one.

I guess I'd better come clean, I'm actually an agent of the Republican Party. The jig is up.

Yes, as it`s always been. Popping soda bottles, coughing and heckling are ways of interrupting the speech of people, still used and taught by the political parties to the cadre. I´m sure that even the established governing parties have groups monitoring and provocating sites as this one.
