Cass Sunstein

He is the author of the book "Nudge." "Nudge" is basically a book that looks at Americans as a bunch of lab rats. And he knows all the tricks and all the levers to make them behave the way he wants them to. Just a little nudge here and little nudge there.

Now to make the Tea Parties look racist and radical, several sites are now popping up to actually advocate the infiltration of the Tea Parties, pretend to be one of them. Bring racist signs to the rallies. Only a crazy loser whack-job will even think about doing this, but there are plenty of them out there. Crazy loser whack-jobs and Cass Sunstein.

Glenn Greenwald from Salon.com uncovered a paper Sunstein wrote way back in 2008, proposing, you know, hypothetically speaking, how to handle opposition groups. Now, keep in mind, Cass calls anything "anti- government" a conspiracy theory.

He proposed that, one, the government ban conspiracy theories. Ban them. Make them illegal. I mean, that sounds like for conspiracy theory in itself.

Number two, the government might impose some sort of tax on those who engage in conspiracy theories.

Number three — love this one — government might itself engage in counter-speech, OK? Marshalling arguments to, quote, "discredit conspiracy theories and theorists."

Four: Hire private parties. They might formally hire private parties to engage in counter-speech.

Number five: The government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help. So in other words, this — wait a minute, that kind of sounds like a conspiracy.

Quote: "Our main policy claim here is the government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories," end quote.

Of course, there is no evidence that Sunstein is behind any of the recent attempts to discredit and infiltrate the Tea Parties, which is weird because those are the same words that he used. But there is no evidence of that at all. That would be a conspiracy theory.

Sunstein will claim that he is acting with the best intentions, trying to dispel falsehoods and spread the truth. You're just spreading, you know, lies, right? I think he is spreading the truth using

lies.http://www.foxnews.com/story/2010/04...-vs-tea-party/
