U.S. Constitution Title: Obama Information Czar Confronted Over “Ban Conspiracy Theories” Paper During a rare public appearance, the Obama Administrations Information Czar Cass Sunstein told a crowd gathered at the NYU Law School in NYC yesterday that he has little recollection of writing a 2008 paper that called for a ban on conspiracy theorizing. In the question and answer portion of the lecture, We Are Change founder Luke Rudkowski confronted Sunstein concerning his avocation of a provocateur style program to silence what have become the governments most vociferous and influential critics. With tongue firmly in cheek, Rudkowski introduced himself as Bill de Berg from Brooklyn college, before directly asking Sunstein to explain his comments. I know you wrote many articles, but I think the most telling one about you is the 2008 one called Conspiracy Theories, where you openly advocated government agents infiltrating activist groups for 9/11 truth, and also to stifle dissent online, Rudkowski stated. Why do you think the government should go after family members and responders who have questions about 9/11? he asked Sunstein. Ive written hundreds of articles and I remember some and not others, Sunstein replied, denying that he has a firm recollection of the paper. I hope I didnt say that, but whatever was said in that article, my role in government is to oversee federal rulemaking in a way that is wholly disconnected from the vast majority of my academic writing, including that, Sunstein added. I know that, Im just asking because you may be the next Supreme Court Justice if Obama appoints you, and you did write those things, Rudkowski replied. I may agree with some of the things I have written but Im not exactly sure. I focus on what my boss wants me to do, Sunstein said, intimating that he was just following orders. When Rudkowski asked if Sunstein would retract his comments about banning opinions that differ from those of the government, Sunstein again claimed he did not remember the article he had written and his personnel intervened to prevent Rudkowski pressing him on the matter. Watch the video: Within his infamous paper, which can be downloaded here, Sunstein outlined plans for the government to infiltrate conspiracy groups, including the 9/11 Truth Movement, in order to undermine them via postings on chat rooms and social networks, as well as real meetings. The specifics of the plans must be read in full in order to gauge their extreme nature and the threat Sunstein poses to the freedom in America. On page 14 of the paper, he proposed that under imaginable conditions the government might ban conspiracy theorizing and could impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. In effect, Obamas information czar called for taxing or banning outright, as in making illegal, opinions and ideas that the government doesnt approve of. Sunsteins definition of a conspiracy theorist encompasses those who question manmade global warming and, most bizarrely, anyone who believes that sunlight is healthy for their bodies. Presumably if Sunstein had been in power in the latter middle ages he would have attempted to tax and then ban the work of Galileo Galilei for subscribing to the theory that the Earth was not the centre of the universe and that it actually revolved around the Sun. When hes not going after those evil sunlight lovers, Sunstein advocates Internet censorship via enforced and regulated links in news pieces to opposing opinions. Sunstein himself later retracted that proposal, explaining that it would be too difficult to regulate [the Internet] in a way that would respond to those concerns, and admitting that it was almost certainly unconstitutional. Sunstein has also called for the re-writing of the First Amendment, and has even proposed a mandatory celebration of tax day in America. His views on the Second Amendment have also raised serious concerns. In his book Radicals in Robes, he wrote: [A]lmost all gun control legislation is constitutionally fine. Sunstein is on record attacking the Second Amendment. Watch in the following clip as he says The Supreme Court has never suggested that the Second Amendment protects the individual right to have guns. Given his extreme actions and stated intentions, Cass Sunstein should be forced out of office and barred from practicing law with immediate effect. If president Obama has his way, however, we may very soon see his good buddy Sunstein elevated to the highest judicial position in the country. -

I hope he bans the two dumbest CTs of all time, "the hot link" and "i wuz hacked" conspiracy theories. Check out the cool tagline i got from the admiral yesterday.
LMAO! I didn't see what you said, but it must have been good to make an 85 year old democrat threaten you. ;o)
We had the admiral pissing bricks yesterday, he also made some lame half threat to abcdefg. I'm going to have to be real careful when I see some old codger coming down the street. I could get a walker upside the head. You didn't miss yuktard whining to goldi did you? I live for the moment when they have to call the mod to protect them.
I'm sad to say I did. Got a link?
The admiral got pissed because him and his love toy accused me of badmouthing goldi. I kept hammering them to post even one example. They couldn't so I started calling them liars. They came up with the completely ridiculous CT, that since i didn't believe the "i wuz hacked" CT, I was calling goldi a liar.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am a little. I wonder sometimes if they're ever embarrassed by what they post.
