« Ageism | Main | NEWSFLASH: Passel of Legislators Arrested! » May 26, 2005Ford Fans Spam BlogsAdam Groves reveals that Tennessee's political blogs have been hit with a wave of "astroturf" comments supporting U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr.'s campaign for a seat in the U.S. Senate. The comments all follow the same talking points but are postedunder different names to give the (false) impression that they are being posted by a large number of Ford supporters. Called astroturf because they are an attempt to falsely protray a grassroots swell of support for Ford, they showed up yesterday on blogs by Groves, myself and Rob Huddleston as well as the Blogging For Bryant blog. Such "astroturf" comments are on the same level as spam and should be treated as such. I'll be deleting all but one of those that appeared here. Posted in 2006 TN Senate Race
