A small group of pro-President Barack Obama commenters dominated conversation on the White House Facebook page during the last five years, according to a data analytic firm’s examination of 3.6 million posts by more than 515,000 unique profiles.

The firm’s analysis and a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation suggest digital astroturfing may have been behind many of the most frequent commenters. “Astroturfing” refers to efforts aimed at creating the appearance of more public support than actually exists for an individual, institution, program or proposal.

Twenty-four percent of the 3.6 million comments on the page since 2010 were posted by only 250 profiles….

A profile with the name Richard Graham commented more than anyone else on the page since 2011 — 18,129 times. His comments were virulently anti-Republican, even calling GOP supporters “Nazis.” On the day before Obama’s second inauguration, Graham posted “four more years of justice and prosperity. Forward!”

….The profile linked to Carol Duke posted thousands of comments on the White House page and has a Hillary Clinton image as its profile picture. Many of this profile’s posts were unusually lengthy, often seemed pre-crafted and always promoted Obama’s policies. Many of the comments were time-stamped only a minute apart.

The profile associated with Justin Cook, another frequent commenter on the page, appears to have a second profile. Justin Cook is friends with another Justin Cook.

Many of the top commenters are also Facebook friends with each other, and often like and defend each other’s remarks, TheDCNF has observed.

t’s against Facebook terms of service for a user to have more than one profile, and profiles are supposed to be in the user’s real name.

“You will not provide any false information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission,” Facebook’s terms read. “You will not create more than one personal account.”….

    Vote early vote often, would never turn into Comment early comment often. That would be wrong.

    And it’s not like Facebook has a liberal bias or the Obama IRS has targeted conservative tax groups or the EPA told grassroots what comments should be submitted on proposed rules or anything. And it’s not cheating if you’re not prosecuted. Loretta has got the Con. (Pun intended)
