Slashdot reports how McCain is going Web 2.0 by asking his supporters to go to liberal blogs and troll for him.
After you troll on a liberal blog spewing their talking points--why don't they trust their supporters with their own thoughts?--you can submit your trolling samples to the McCain site and you will earn McBucks on the McSame Online Trolling Action Center!!
Just in case you happen to be a bit slow about the whole blogsphere thingy, they also have a nice hit list of the liberal blogs where they want you to troll:

It is hard to see, but in the blue block in the center called suggested blogs, you will their hitless for the moment is ColoradoPols, Crooks and Liars, DailyKos, MyDD, and think progress.
So be prepare if at some point an avalanche of McTrollbots show up here.

Yup. Have noticed an upsurge of trollery this week. (FMArouet21 - 6/13/2008 11:27:08 AM)
Saw an especially egregious example at TPM Election Central this morning. My solution: glance, diagnose (usually by the title, almost always by the first sentence), ignore the rest, and don't waste the energy to respond.
There is never anything to be gained by feeding trolls.

Not bad for a guy who doesn't know how to use a
computer.

before McCain's computer "illiteracy" is blamed on his age, let me say my dad is a year older than McCain, and has had a personal computer since 1980. My in-laws, both squarely of the WWII generation and ten or eleven years older than McCain, were both completely computer "literate." Really, who even thinks some sort of "literacy" is required to use a computer any more?
This guy has lived in America, and somehow managed to miss the most important development in the last 30 years.
He belongs in an adult education class, not a presidential campaign.

Remember Dubya explaining about how he searches "the Google" for fun information? I believe he was trying to utilize Senator Stevens's "tubes" to do a search on the internet.
