Need some help on a local Right Wing Nutjob forum

My community is a small Conservative community with a single Conservative newspaper. The Newspaper started a website several years ago named www.my2centsworth.biz. It's become a hateful/racist right wing propaganda machine. Any left wing posters are quickly banned and the locals yuk it up and talk about their supremacy.

What am I asking for? Simple. If you have the time and like to be an antagonist, become a member of this forum and show them they're not the Majority. They're not at all smart and I've had hours of fun teasing them. The forum is private and the moderator is slow to allow new members in because he knows it's just old banned members re-joining. If you're interested in joining just hound him until he approves you. But don't count on lasting long

Thanks for any help you're able to lend. These people need shown that their views are narrow and minority and I'm only one small mouse.

Although is there any chance of turning anyone? There could be a opportunity. Start an alternative populist publication. By that I mean stay away from the 3Gs and focus on the oligarchs vs the rest of us.

I agree. Starting anew will allow you to move full speed toward developing a movement that progresses. If you take the time to read the work of others you can build a core group of members who stand firmly for the principles of your collective efforts.

Otherwise, the most effective way to deal with those who fear and hate 'outsiders' is to understand them as closely as you can. This way, you may empathize with them and more accurately imagine what set of circumstances you might have to experience in order to view the world through there eyes. The closer you can get to their mind the closer you come to recognizing the heart of the problem.

Of course, it is also vital that you determine the usage of your time wisely. Some achievements are simply not worth the effort.
