Actually Jong, AuRaptor and River/kaneman are pretty distinct, and so are Sig, 1kiki, Niki, and Mal4Prez.
The nuances can be subtle because most of the compared posters do have some similar political beliefs, but they also differ in places as well.
AuRaptor claims to be an atheist (though still defensive about there being a war on Christians), I don't recall I've ever heard Jong claim to be atheist.
Neither one likes gay marriage but for different reasons. AuRaptor dislikes it because he sees it as another part of that war on christians freedom of religion free speech thing - though he never really talks about common law marriage. My impression is that Jongstraw doesn't approve because he thinks there's something unethical or disturbing about it.
kaneman/River tends to be more shocking with insults. AUraptor and Jongstraw may sometimes drop a "shithead" or an "asshole", maybe even skank and bitch and others. But I think you're all forgetting just what kaneman/River insults are like. Those insults were like... The work of an artist, or a wizard, but rendered entirely in profanity and horrifying images. Words like "flies" and "uterus" constructed a mental image of depravities being born, then eaten, and squeezed out again on a desolate barren background in an endless surreal loop of what-the-fuckery. There are insults, and then there are insults that can damage your sanity.
Niki writes long posts. Sig and Mal4Prez both write medium-ish length posts with an overview process then progression/speculation, but as an argument goes on they differ in their styles, where Sig tends to hammer at a point and be more serious, and Mal4Prez tends to be more jokey. 1kiki writes short posts that focus on a particular detail.
There are also slight political differences here and there, like I think for example there was a thread where people were discussing rights in the context of a protest that deliberately blocked off streets and obstructed traffic, and they had different opinions, and there was another thread about burqas and Muslim women were they had different opinions, and another thread about Muslim violence in response to cartoons.
Like I said, differences are subtle, but there. None of the groups seem like a sockpuppet army to me, they appear to all be legitimately separate people. However, I do think it's possible that 1kiki and Sig know each other in real life.

I can only hope that Jongs is back on meds by election returns, November 2014, or things could get ugly around here. Oh never mind, the RWAs will just ignore it like they ignore 2012 and 2008.

Oh, Jong's done even better than that: Quote:
Jong, 10/11/2013: "When Republicans take the Senate and keep the House a year from now, that will be the end of Obama's Reign of Error." http://www.fireflyfans.net/mreply.aspx?mid=950088

Jong, 10/11/2013: "The Tea Party is the ONLY hope for America's economic future. The 2014 election will be worse for Obama, Dems, and RINOs than 2010 was. And they got crushed by the Tea Party in 2010. The Restoration is at hand." http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=56402

As a result of the shutdown debacle, this prediction was posted this morning:
"Speaker Pelosi Part 2: Opening Jan 5. 2015"
This comes from noted lefty Matt Drudge....

Jongsstraw - "So it will come out for all the world to see that the Obama Admin. actively helped the Muslim Brotherhood topple Mubarak who was friendly to the West."
Frem - "Hilary has *ALREADY* bagged up 2016, bought and paid for, so you better just start learning to deal with it"

"As long as Obama is in the White House the ACA is not in trouble. By the time he is out the problems will be memories and the program will be like Medicare and Social Security...near untouchable." - M52Nick
"Krauthammer said earlier this week that the collapse of Obamacare is inevitable. He also made another statement that was even more shocking; so shocking that I dare not mention it." (via Jongs)
It's not personal. It's just war.

CTS, in the 'Iran's currency plummets in value' thread - "We shouldn't gloat, cause our turn is next."
ETA:
Cavetroll reports on $16T of secret bailouts to foreign and US banks by the Fed, and asks "Can Weimar style inflation be far off?"
Cavetroll on the surprise drop in the unemployment rate a month before the election - "I'm sure in a month or so, quietly, on a Friday afternoon, the numbers will be adjusted to their actual point."

Based on this NY Post article,

In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated...
This is my shocked face.
Now we'll see if this gets more play in the news or goes in the memory hole with all the other news that is offensive to Chicago Jesus.
