SOCRATES/SETH ALLEN + PATTERICO = RIGHT WOOS LEFTY

Yo–Soc?

When you make your report to Mr. Sunstein, tell Cass I said Hi! 🙂

“In a lengthy academic paper, President Obama’s regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, argued the US government should ban “conspiracy theorizing.”

“Sunstein also recommended the government send agents to infiltrate “extremists who supply conspiracy theories” to disrupt the efforts of the “extremists to propogate their theories.”

“Sunstein said government agents “might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups to attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, casual logic or implications for political action.”

“Sunstein defined a conspiracy theory as “an effort to explain some event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have managed to conceal their role.”

Some “conspiracy theories” recommended for ban by Sunstein include:

–“The theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.”

–“The view that the Central Intelligence Agency was responsible for the assassination
of John F. Kennedy.”

–“The 1996 crash of TWA flight 800 was caused by a US military missile.”

–“The Trilateral Commission is responsible for important movements of the
international economy.”

–“That Martin Luther King was killed by federal agents.”

–“The moon landing was staged and never actually occured.”

Thank you Soc, for service above & beyond the call of duty in keeping our great republic safe from the choice of believing or discussing all that insane tinfoil disinfo. And pass the kudos along to your little buddies, Donkymuffin, Canadian Blob/Cuhulain, and The_Last_Comment_Deleted.
