The meta-message of Cass Sunstein's new book delivers a warning to those who would spread Internet "rumors" about Barack Obama.
The Regulatory Czar's latest book is entitled Rumors. It purports to be about how rumors spread. To that end, it's full of remarkable insights such as "Many of us accept false rumors because of either our fears or our hopes." (p. 6) "Your willingness to believe a rumor will inevitably depend on the information with which you start." (p. 19) "Sometimes people believe rumors because other people believe them." (p. 28) Plus the shocking revelation that "Many rumors spread conspiracy theories." (p. 7)

Does he discuss all the supposed ‘code words’ and ‘code phrases’ conservatives use that supposedly mean something else than what was said (according to liberals)?
How about just outright putting words in people’s mouths (a la Dowd)to project what the rumormonger wants to project about another person’s thoughts/beliefs?
Just curious.
I have a question for the “internet savvy”.
If, for some unimaginable situation, the internet in the USA was shut down or seriously restricted, how would it affect
the internet in other countries?
Would messengers and Email such as Yahoo or MSN be served out of other international hubs?

The Maine sisters Snowe and Collins were two of them.
” Cass Sunstein is the Regulatory Czar. He was confirmed by the Senate by a 57-40 vote.”
Heck Nach, I thought the prob with the cZar system the pResident installed, is that it brings in O buddies without Congo review or oversight. Now you have me really confused, what with RINOs voting with Dims et al.
Any how thanks for the posted info, recalls a rumor of not long back , concerning Cass the Reg. Rumor has it that the man is stone stupid. Just hearsay.

Iran tried to shut down the Internet - it didn’t work.
(I don’t know the technical part of your question...interested to see what others say.)
What rumor??
I thought it was well known fact that Barack Obama went on a Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca and followed that with a good warlord battle in Kenya against a neighboring tribe.
No?
Republican Senators among the 57 who voted for confirmation included: Snowe (ME); Collins (ME); Bennett (UT); Hatch (UT); Lugar (IN); and Voinovich (OH).
Ah, not so fast Grasshopper Sunstein, what will you do about Texting?
Lugar is Obama’s butt boy.
Where would you learn the truth about the biggest mystery in history if not the internet?

Ask his daughter, Natasha.
Which, btw, is a good ole African/American name, is it not?
No. That was his good buddy, Raul Odinga, whom Zero campaigned for. After Odinga lost, his supporters started burning/murdering Christians.
