More than 2 MILLION of Hillary Clinton's Twitter followers are fake or never tweet – and she's already under fire for 'buying' fake Facebook fans Two different online audit tools say no more than 44 per cent of Hillary's 3.6 million Twitter fans are real people who participate in the platform The newly minted presidential candidate is fending off accusations that her Facebook page is full of fake 'likes' Her Facebook fan base includes more people from Baghdad, Iraq than any US city When she was secretary of state, her agency paid $630,000 to bulk up its Facebook likes, but pledged to stop after she left By David Martosko, Us Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 10:44 EST, 14 April 2015 | Updated: 10:51 EST, 14 April 2015 Although Hillary Clinton boasts a robust 3.6 million Twitter followers, not even a vast right-wing conspiracy would be able to interact with 2 million of them. According to two popular online measuring tools, no more than 44 per cent of her Twitter fan base consists of real people who are active in using the social media platform. And at least 15 per cent – more than 544,000 – are completely fake. StatusPeople.com, the oldest publicly available Twitter-auditing tool, reports that 44 per cent of the former secretary of state's followers are 'good'; 15 per cent are 'fake'; and 41 per cent are 'inactive,' meaning that they never tweet or reply to any tweets. FAKERS: According to one popular online audit tool, only 44 per cent of Hillary Clinton's Twitter followers are real people who participate on the social media platform Another Twitter sleuthing website sampled more than 320,000 of Clinton's followers and found that a much larger number of them were 'fake' Just 4 per cent of President Barack Obama's Twitter followers, by comparison, are considered fake. The White House worked overtime to purge most of them after a September 2013 report found that more than half of his followers didn't really exist. Michelle Obama's Twitter audience is 25 per cent fake, according to StatusPeople, along with 21 per cent of Vice President Joe Biden's. Another tool, TwitterAudit.com, sampled 320,000 of Mrs. Clinton's followers and found that 18 per cent were fake. The new measurements will add to the Clinton presidential campaign's embarrassment following news on Tuesday that a large number of her Facebook fans may represent 'likes' that were purchased rather than earned. REALLY? Hillary Clinton's Twitter follower-count appears to be significantly inflated FACEBOOK FAKERY: Clinton boasts two-thirds of a million Facebook 'likes,' but more than 46,000 of them list 'Baghdad' as their hometown Vocativ reported that at least 7 per cent of them listed Baghdad, Iraq as their hometown, a larger number than any U.S. city. That would represent more than 46,000 people. Additional evidence of digital astroturfing is that while most of her U.S. Facebook fans are older than 55, most of the Baghdad contingent is in the 18-34 age range. While Clinton was America's top diplomat, her State Department was buying Facebook 'likes,' according to an Associated Press report from last year. 'In 2013, the State Department, which has more than 400,000 likes and was recently most popular in Cairo, said it would stop buying Facebook fans after its inspector general criticized the agency for spending $630,000 to boost the numbers,' the wire service reported. Clinton left the agency while the inspector general was investigating. ASTROTURF? A woman cast as a kindly, gardening grandma in Clinton's campaign launch video is actually a former abortion lobbyist who once helmed a campaign for Texas state Senator Wendy Davis WHERE'S SCOOBY? Clinton's caravan was spotted in Maumee, Ohio on Monday when she lunched at Chipotle, but no one recognized her Facebook says it has entire teams of employees tasked with rooting out schemes to artificially boost statistics. 'When we catch fraudulent activity, we work to counter and prevent it – including blocking accounts and removing fake likes,' the company reports on its website. Clinton is in Monticello, Iowa on Tuesday for the first stop on her nascent presidential 'listening' tour. She was driven from New York in a van that her campaign aides have dubbed 'Scooby,' after the 'Mystery Machine' van in the Scooby-Doo cartoon series. Daily Mail Online visited Kirkwood Community College on Monday, the site of the event, and heard from students that the former first lady is a 'control freak' who may be pursuing legal status for illegal immigrants because the Democratic Party needs a new pool of loyal voters.

But this article say Obama has many more fake accounts than what was previously mentioned. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/03/fake-inactive-twitter-followers- plague-presidential-campaigns/
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
And this one says Obola has over 19 million fake accounts, whoda thunk it? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2430875/Barack-Obama-19-5m-fake-Twitter- followers.html

What is really bad? The people that vote. I wager most votes are all made up, too. Quite literally, I have ZERO confidence in the American system.
Supposedly they weeded out millions of those a while back when it became obvious what a joke it was.
Yes they did, but if someone didn't spill the beans I have no doubt it would still be that way. But this shows just how far they will go to get "public perception" on their side, doesn't matter if it's true or not just how people perceive it. That's why I usually laugh at polls that try to say something that you know sux is popular to the rest of the population. :) LOL... I have numerous customers (maybe 150) I deal with on a daily basis thru my job and most of us talk politics. Very few see things from the spectrum of Moderates or the Left (maybe 3 or 4) all the rest are off to the Right. One of my co-workers is off to the Left and used to talk politics until Obolo was elected now, he walks off when most political subjects are brought up. Don't know if it's because he's seen the light or embarrassed by what is happening? He also has a Black wife so wonder what he hears when he's at home????

Well, he can't win. And the punishment does fit the crimes. : ) As for you and your buds, you could go to CA or NY or other Blue states and the situation would reverse. People have been invoking this Silent Majority ever since Nixon but usually it is because the Silent Majority always seems to stay silent, even at the ballot box.
I live in a purple state, Ohio.

Just 4 per cent of President Barack Obama's Twitter followers, by comparison, are considered fake.
