Fake Rachel Maddow 'Supporters' Busted Using Multiple Fake Twitter Accounts: UPDATE- Suspended

By Susan Duclos

It seems the Twitter presence of supporters for the MSNBC Rachel Maddow show wasn't quite large enough to trend the #Maddow hashtag, so all of a sudden there were a lot of them, but dozens were making the exact same claim  "Confession: I yell at my TV while watching Rachel #Maddow talk about filibuster reform in the same way most people do during football."

Those mentions were collected bu  screenshots collected by a tweeter named @LeftyBollocks and shown on by Free Republic.
