'Groupthink' is obvious on FR. Just follow the 'fives'. A group of freepers recently got together to brand their opponents as fifth columnists with silly graphics & sly references. - Pretty hard to miss.

That is where you had lost me. I thought you were ref. your list. "5. self censorship"

I haven't run across them myself. I do call a "boilerplate" argument when I see it. Fith column or not, Leftist BS fallows a pattern.

They intentionally miss-interoperate what was said, OWC linked rejection of the 60's peace movement to a blood thirsty love of war

They never defend their argument, they always attempt to discredit their adversary

They always accuse their adversary of there own sins

They base all lies off of fact based half truths.

And when confronted, they try to redefine the arguments on their own grounds..usually attempting to get concurrence on false assumptions.

It is eventually backed up with a physical threat

Basically, how to lie and intimidate, even when your wrong. Carville is the master of it, and after 8 years of that crap, actually more, I spent 20 years on Eugene Oregon. The left are the enforcers of group think and I have very little patients for anyone who carries their line for them.

OWC's first post was a left wing mantra.
