Our own bjwilson83, caught sockpuppeting for Ken Buck on Facebook!

Take a look at this! Note that I went to great pains to not reveal any identifying information, and not to violate any of this blog’s terms regarding outing of other users. I am not attempting to out the true-life identity of anyone. To hinder accessing personal information, I made screengrabs instead of linking and copying text.

But one of the most prolific Republican commenters on Colorado Pols, bjwilson83, appears to have been caught red-handed masquerading as a Democrat to post troll-type comments on Sen. Michael Bennet’s Facebook posts! Check out these screengrabs:

That’s the publicly accessible profile page of “David Chestnut,” a self described Democrat and religious agnostic. “David Chestnut” has been very busy making friends!

But oh no, what’s this? Cover blown! “Commenting,” ha ha, on a post from Sen. Bennet:

Oh no, Beej! You really should have been more careful. So here are my questions:

1. You have previously said you work, at least in a volunteer capacity, for the Buck campaign. Is this activity sanctioned by the campaign? Is your immediate supervisor at the Buck campaign aware of this activity? Is any other employee or volunteer of the Buck campaign aware of it? Do other volunteers/employees participate?

2. Do you consider it honest politics to represent yourself as an “agnostic Democrat,” when you clearly are not? Or to imply you support “single payer” health care when you do not?

3. How could you be so stupid as to use an email address that is readily identifiable? You can plead the 5th on this one.

I feel bad for you, Beej, resorting to such cheap false flag tactics on behalf of your increasingly desperate candidate, living out the conspiracies you see everywhere. But I can’t say I’m surprised.
