Poll question: Spies Among Us - How many
How many Gubermant Spies do you think DU has?

I don't mean Freepers or trolls from the wrong side. How many FBI, CIA, RNC, ROMC (Rove Office of Mind Control) spies do you personally think are roaming these hallowed boards pretending to be our friends?

A creature of the late sixties, I assume the worse in matters involving wire taps and spying in general.

By posting the poll am I putting myself in danger?

Other polls if I don't get a free ride to Gitmo.

1. I'm certain
that there are paid staffers at RNC who monitor this site regualarly.

I would not be surprised if some "sworn officer types" aren't here as part of their 9-5 either. Not paranoid but realistic.

2. It's a pity DU doesn't allow sex threads...

They're too worried Ashcroft might visit, and you know he prefers busting brothels and covering (only female) statues whose bare boobs are showing... :evilgrin:

3. A whole team..... and....
copies of posts can be found in each of our FBI files.

I met a lady on the bus to Crawford who said she requested her FBI file under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. She'd been an activist for 35 years. Her file was 1000 pages.

I wonder what's in mine! I'm still a newbie! I'd be proud to have one!:-)

4. just because you're paranoid
doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

5. I'm sure they're here 24/7-in shifts
The good thing is they're learning a lot of factual things about BFEE.

6. I hold in my hand the names of 57 card-carrying DU spies.
Okay, not really. But it got your attention.

7. i think they run programs that search
for certain words and phrases. any combo that adds up to a death threat against a public figure probably gets tagged. several months ago the FBI went to "stormfront" to look thru their records for someone who posted something that the FBI didn`t like...

9. Monitoring this site is a part-time job, at most
It's not like we're terrorists or (for the most part) Democratic party bigwigs. 'Sides, there are whorehouses in Louisiana for Ashcroft's spies to wiretap.

11. Who cares? As long as we are not doing anything illegal, right?
Well, that is what the Patriot Act says anyway.

12. Oh, there aren't any spies
Maybe a few sad Freepers who come in here and pretend like they're being patriotic by "monitoring" what we talk about in the lounge. :)

I really don't think the opposition is organized or resourceful enough to launch a full scale spy network to watch what we do. That doesn't mean we don't have lurkers however.

13. The people who broke into Watergate
Give me a break. At the least they have to monitor our activity in order to recruit agents to go deeper into the radical left.
