@JoeW We've had issues with that user recently regarding rude and offensive flags, but if you saw some of those comments, you'd see plainly they certainly were that. You flagged the question rude and offensive, which I declined. That user's apparently lost a lot of goodwill with the community, as the question itself appears find to me, yet is downvoted heavily.
wrt to handling this particular user, yes, we are already keeping a close eye and have explicitly set limits that we will tolerate, and informed the user of this.
If filling political questions with off-topic and unhelpful comments becomes another issue, we will handle it when it happens. For now, the user is active there, mainly, yes, but I'm not sure "propaganda" is the right word. Certainly, some are "chatty", so you can flag those as obsolete if you think they do not help improve the page.
Rude, offensive, and abusive flags should be reserved for instances when that has occurred.

@fredsbend Part of my problem is there seems to be a lot of comments and information the answers that are being passed off as fact but are questionable items that appear to be directed to attacking and discrediting someone.
An example of the latest would be editing in a screen shot of an email from someone who claims to be someone's lawyer but when you look at that lawyers linkeden it becomes clear that they would not be a personal lawyer based on their position.

That answer should just be outright deleted, just because it contains links doesn't mean it actually meets our requirements for reference

@MadScientist The links it does have are of questionable accuracy as well as they tend to be screen shots of other things.
 
@MadScientist @JoeW We deleted it just now, fyi. There was already a delete vote on it and several flags, plus we mods as users generally agree with the criticism already under the post.
My own sense was "so much spin it'll make you dizzy".
Thank you for your flags and efforts to keep the site in good order.
 
I just wish the answer wasn't trying to put so much spin on it, would have been interesting to see what evidence out there supports the recently released information. But that answer seemed more like a way to try and force it to be correct rather than look at it objectively.
 
I personally would close the question ... I'll put in the fifth vote as "current event", if only it could get a fourth.
 
Wish I had the rep to help with that kind of activity in general but that is slow moving for me on this site.

Yeah ...
Flags are still powerful helpers.

I try but with a few declined in a row I wanted to make sure I was doing it as expected
