A paper by Cass Sunstein says it all.

From p.14 "Conspiracy Theories" by CASS R. SUNSTEIN

BS! The BC issue isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a fact.

You are absolutely correct, from the point of view from our side of the fence. However, from their side... it IS a conspiracy theory.

Unfortunately, this paper recommending government infiltration is a testament to the current thinking of a presidentially appointed Czar intent on bridling free speech. His first two options are particularly troublesome.

When a brain is filled with such mush, it's a wonder he still has motor skills.

The Difference Between Marxofacism and Conservativism:

Marxofacists: “The Bush government was behind the 9/11 attacks!”

Conservatives. “Whatever. You guys are idiots.”

---

Conservatives: “Obama needs to show his birth certificate.”

Marxofacists: “The government and media need to infiltrate your organizations, launch a massive propaganda campaign against you, and prosecute you for crimes against the state!”

Finally got around to a Truth Tax. To Democrats the Truth is a conspiracy and to many Republican RINOS.

Because they are Lily Livered Pussies afraid of PC.

The truth is that her writings are in themselves "conspiracy theories"! Thereby she is exposing herself as a "Conspirator". Planning or advising one to secretly subvert another's organization would constitute a conspiracy. ------ con·spir·a·tor    –noun a person who takes part in a conspiracy; plotter.

Yeah, this is nothing new. Nixon did this to the hippy anti-war movement in the late 1960’s he planted moles and infiltrators.

Is it conspiracy theory to see conspiracy is all groups opposed to your agenda?

[upchuck]

The FBI under Hoover did this for decades before this twit was even born...............

Yeppers. Who remembers the TV series I Led 3 Lives?

There once was a Czar they called Cass;
Who just couldn’t learn from the past;
He reveled in power,
at least till the hour;
The patriots tarred and feathered his ass.

Sunstein is a statist tyrant. He would fit nicely in North Korea or Communist China. Those are places that share his values.

[houeto]

If we keep are facts strait we could convince the infiltrators were are right.

shirley ewegest.

Mention Hoover and Cointelpro and the Libs foam at the mouth. Now they want to do the same thing and are OK with it. Not to hypocritical of them.

[Smokin' Joe]

our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories,

After all, that is how the Socialists and 'One World'ers came into the power they have.

McCarthy was right!

Chicago will be devoid of lawyers!

Well, that's a start. Maybe we should just herd the 99.999% of them who give the rest a bad name to Chicago.

[DrC]

Yes. His position requires Senate approval.

Bump!

Shows how much the Communists adhere to the First Amendment.

Not at all. Given power they will always attempt to destroy American's rights and liberties.
