Can't handle dissidence, can you? Folks, that's groupthink in a nutshell.

Did it never occur to you that we DO think? We just don't think you are right about this approach. It's not groupthink, it's like-minded thinking. there's a difference.

W is handling this the same way the TANG memos were handled and the DUI were handled. It has not done him in thus far.

This is too funny. THIS from a Freeper who has posted NOTHING but personal attacks and self lauditory verbal pap.
Talk about your GROUP think. All you have done is regurgitate the Hysterical Leftist talking points.

Groupthink is a term coined by psychologist Irving Janis in 1972 to describe a process by which a group can make bad or irrational decisions. In a groupthink situation, each member of the group attempts to conform his or her opinions to what they believe to be the consensus of the group. In a general sense this seems to be a very rationalistic way to approach the situation. However this results in a situation in which the group ultimately agrees upon an action which each member might individually consider to be unwise (the risky shift).
