Cass Sunstein has long been one of Barack Obama’s closest confidants. Often mentioned as a likely Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, Sunstein is currently Obama’s head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he is responsible for “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs.” In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government. This would be designed to increase citizens’ faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of conspiracists. The paper’s abstract can be read, and the full paper downloaded, here.

Sunstein advocates that the Government’s stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups.” He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called “independent” credible voices to bolster the Government’s messaging (on the ground that those who don’t believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government). This program would target those advocating false “conspiracy theories,” which they define to mean: “an attempt to explain an event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role.” Sunstein’s 2008 paper was flagged by this blogger, and then amplified in an excellent report by Raw Story‘s Daniel Tencer.

Peter Jamison is blowing smoke out his ass, and Jeff Kincaid exposes himself as a partisan asshole right out of the gate, when he titles his piece "Obama Associate Implicated in Murder." rather than "Bill Ayers Implicated in Murder." It's politicized shit squirted right out of your bloody sphincter.

Accuracy in Media, my ass.

Exactly. It's been over 40 years with no prosecution...funny thing. Bill Ayers will die of old age in his bed because he never murdered anybody.

And Larry Grathwhol? Really? Larry Grathwhol...darling of the headcase right wingnuts from America's Survival, Inc.?? Your article is a fucking joke. Grathwhol was an employee of Jeff Kincaid at America's Survival. The whole story dredged up from 40 years ago is more Obama derangement syndrome bullshit. If the heroic Larry Grathwhol had anything other than his mumbling bullshit...Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn would have been prosecuted for murder the moment they gave themselves up.

But it's funny shit...so I might thank you for it if I was a fucking moron.

This?!?!?!

I wish they ran into him a week ago and blew him away as well...

Maybe you should explain it to me, i'm a teabagger after all
There's your biggest problem Jim. I guess being obtuse comes with the territory? Later, I've gotta go work on a leaky faucet. Oh, joy.

So fucking what. You posted his picture painting him as the equivalent of Jared and Amanda. You can post four pages of bullshit about who Cass Sunstein is and who Cass Sunstein wants to be.

It doesn't change the fact that your posting of his picture in the context you chose makes you a lying sack of shit.
