Twitter ‘eggs’ scramble to push Obama’s #WeDemandAVote hashtag
http://twitter.com/#!/DefendWallSt/status/305503200407072768
“Kathleen H. Dittus” wasn’t born yesterday, you know. She — or her Twitter account, at least — was born today. No, she hasn’t even been born yet; she’s still inside that “egg” avatar, but she can’t wait to break out and lend the president a hand with his gun control effort.
The @BarackObama account, fresh off of exploiting Gabby Giffords to push its demand that Congress vote on an assault weapons ban, is doing its best to get #WeDemandAVote trending, but some conservatives are noticing that a lot of the supporters are a little, um, young. They have zero followers, follow no one, and have tweeted just once.
@defendwallst Wow. Why are so many of the #WeDemandAVote people egg avis? More than half it seems. #astroturf

Almost all of the accounts in #WeDemandAVote are created in the last 72 hours.Seems like grass roots to me.

Example of a #WeDemandAVote spam account.”Born On” date indicates the date the account was created. twitter.com/DefendWallSt/s…

I wonder if @ofa used the Project ORCA guy for all these #WeDemandAVote eggs. Hahaha!

In case you doubted the story was true, I just retweeted three of the (OFA?) eggs on #WeDemandAVote.

Wow. @barackobama ‘s gun-grab efforts must really be failing if he has to bring in the egg avi enforcements on twitter. #wedemandavote

Wow, I’d hate to see the south end of the twitter hen crapping out all these lame cookie cutter message eggbots. #urlosing #WeDemandAVote

Is this the culprit?
Can this egg army withstand a conservative counter-effort by people with faces?
@repmiketurner You’re being hit by OFA’s spammers re: #WeDemandAVote @kephale is 1 of them, check for eggs. weed them out. #tcot

#WeDemandAVote because nothing says ‘voting’ like burying a twitter hash in propaganda.

Hey, that’s no way to talk to your boss, who also happens to be dad of the country.
Good Lord that Tweet was a about as arrogant as I’ve come to expect. Every time I think he’s hit bottom, he digs.

When a President starts demanding behavior…well, we know how this movie ends.

I challenge my liberal friends to imagine their reaction if George Bush said “We Demand A Vote” on, say, abortion.

#WeDemandAVote even though Veep has admitted none of the proposals will have any effect on gun violence.

He might have given shotgun sales a boost, though.
#WeDemandAVote bot tweets are the perfect example of how libs make-up a statistic and then keep repeating it, hoping it’ll stick.
