"The problem is the sheeple don't realize how dangerous this is to their freedom."

I think the sheeple 'doth protest too much'...ever notice how long these threads get...they allow for very little discussion about the article posted because those who wish to discuss the topic end up having to defend wanting to discuss the topic. This is done purposefully. There is no other logical explanation for why those who would, as they say, feel this was little more than a 'conspiracy', yet spend so much time on these threads, 'hating' anyone serious about the subject. If that's how they really felt, they would just be indifferent and not care. Instead, we get the fake outrage, just like Medved's.

. . . they allow for very little discussion about the article posted because those who wish to discuss the topic end up having to defend wanting to discuss the topic.

comment #14: Well Jerome, believing that President Bush is going to abolish the Constitution and destroy our currency, the most respected currency in the world, by merging it with the meaningless Canadian dollar and the basket case peso thereby crushing our economy is, well, kooky. Do you also think he'll accomplish all this by January 2009? This has nothing to do with ad hominem attacks. Hawkins and Medved are just stating the obvious. If you're going to incite this kind of conspiratorial nonsense maybe you should grow thicker skin.
comment #23: Prof. Corsi needs to be reminded that it's not difficult to look-up his previous statements on the topic. In other words, one cannot run about claiming that Pres. Bush has a "secret plan" to dissolve the United States of America without taking the risk of being called a conspiracist. Moreover, one cannot defend himself of the charge by simply stating that the SPP exists. His problem is his contention why it exists.

Both the above comments are substantive criticisms of Prof. Corsi’s newly-found “victim-complex.” You’ll note that both were ignored . . . placing you in the unenviable position of complaining that some are forced to defend themselves personally when they choose to avoid the abstract issue.

This is done purposefully

They, like Hawkins and Medved, make personal attacks rather than actually discussing the information pertinent to the topic.

This is, a technique pioneered by communists in America for the sole purpose of limiting or stopping free political discourse, which is so vital to the American system.

RE: "ever notice how long these threads get...they allow for very little discussion about the article posted because those who wish to discuss the topic end up having to defend wanting to discuss the topic. This is done purposefully."

Exactly!

I am reminded of something David Horowitz said about the left -- and why can it not be true of the many former liberals, who though welcomed on the right side should have left their nasty left habits when they came right. People like Mr. Medved for example.

Mr. Horowitz said that for the left, "The issue is not the issue."

Now I've always taken that to mean that issues are weapons.

Thus we indeed do have to "defend wanting to discuss the topic" but even before that we have to discuss the "issue" of whether we are or are not all those names they call us.

"This is done purposefully." Yes it is.
