ReadabilityApparently to the left wars on conservative women are allowed (content warning)
As people who know me are aware I’m generally not a profane person, but when I see something like this:

being left on the site of a friend of mine who is a lady in every sense of the word, coupled with stuff like this:
Some of the comments this troll (or these trolls) leave include email addresses of other conservative bloggers. They fill up my email spam. They sign petitions in my name. They email spam to others in my name. They send me emails that appear to be from my friends. They go to other websites and leave comments in my name – with my email address and links back to this blog – that are vile and wretched. Thankfully I have some friends who are kind enough to let me know when they see this happening. As much as I would like to leave comments on all of the blogs I visit, I rarely have time. If I did there would be nothing on this blog. I suspect that’s the reason they’re doing what they do – to distract me. To shut me up. They’ve even broken federal law by calling my home using phony caller ID services. The police officer I filed a report with was very kind and understanding. My phone company assured me that once the report is ready they will be happy to provide me with the telephone numbers where those calls really originated.
it tends to get me quite perturbed.
Karen’s crime you see is to be not only a highly effective conservative blogger but the conservative who came in first in the Mom blogs best political mom contest.
Now of course to the professional left that has shielded the occupods as they committed actual violence this kind of thing is small potatoes, but this is, in my opinion another example of the cultural divide that has divided left and right.
Dealing with these types is the price for success for conservative women, but don’t expect those who have spent months going after Rush for comments a month ago that he apologized for to say a word about this, after all, the simple act of being conservative alone to them justifies any such action, let alone beating out liberals in a motherhood contest.
I’d like to say I’m surprised to be seeing this, but I’m rapidly reaching the point where my expectations of folks on the left who i haven’t had the pleasure of meeting or engaging in person are reaching Breitbart proportions.
Anyway Karen don’t worry, none of us who know and love you are going to give any credence to any such nonsense posted by these folks.
Update: Stacy notes the trouble going on at the Conservative Commune as well and detects and asks:
Hmmm. Who could be doing this, I wonder? And why?
Hmmmm attempts to compromise conservative blogs via twitter bots, home harassment of effective conservative political bloggers, I can’t imagine who might be interested in neutralizing us

[...] the most interesting that not a week earlier I was writing about low tactics being used against the Lonely Conservative and Zilla of the Resistance as well. What still amazes me is how these people are so willing to do this [...]
And they are still coming after me too, including posting nasty things about me alleging that I’m faking my sickness which they post while pretending to be Karen at blogs of some of our other friends and posting comments to Karen’s blog while pretending to be me, not to mention the fraudulent emails that they send out while pretending to be both me and Karen. It’s not enough to try to ruin our reputations and harass us endlessly, they also want to break up our friendships.

I am sorry Karen is going through that, although I am sadly not surprised. I see similar things all the time on left leaning sites.
It seems to be a sign you are being effective. They lash out because you raised a good point and they do not have a come back.
I’ve been online battling trolls for a long time now but in recent years, the level of maliciousness has increased.
One place I tend to get the worst comments or replies is on YouTube; it takes less than one post for them to use language that turns one’s stomach.
LonelyCon is right though — we’re not shutting up.
Nothing to the extent that is happening to her, but I had a similar thing happen to me. In my case it was Paul Bots. They left messages at other blogs who they believed to be Newt supporters and called them immoral. You would think that they would have something better to do.
Thanks, Pete. Funny, since calling them out they’ve gone silent, other than the email spam. I’m sure they’re lurking, and will be back. But in the mean time it’s very nice to know how many friends I have out here in the old blogosphere. I don’t know why they don’t focus their efforts elsewhere. We’re never going to shut up!
