It would be the "being bots" that makes them bots. I know there's some nutcases out there, but not enough of them to fill a twitter-sized insane asylum, and I'm talking about accounts that make statements at both ends of the political spectrum.

That doesn't mean they post regularly, but it's more than enough real humans to follow (so that they can retweet bot crap at you)
