Political spam! Bots have opinions too!

Random IM from a stranger.

FreedSalmon: What do you think of Barack Obama winning the Democratic nomination?

Well, I normally don't reply to strangers who just barge in and ask my opinions, but I am very opinionated and happy to share my political beliefs, so I answer,

me: I'm very excited for it, I think he's an intelligent man and will be a responsible leader.

FreedSalmon: :-) working today?


So I find this odd, and I google, expecting to find that, like, maybe this is the AIM nick of someone I didn't know I knew, or a friend who had changed his/her AIM nick. But I discover that this is a bot, who has been known to say things like this:

FreedSalmon: Barack Hussein Obama is a documented Christian. He goes to church, and he prays to the Christian god. Do you really want that kind of person in the white house? Vote for Hillary Clinton, the one with experience. Pass this message on.

Do you want Christians in the White House?! Vote for Hillary, she's a heathen. XD Oh man, cracking me up.
