I don't know if a link to this article has been posted yet but I thought it was an interesting look at how
gestapo like the Right Wing's tactics have become

1. This right wing fringe haven't heard

the country has had enough of its sniveling and trying to turn this country into a theocracy.

2. Remember Angela Davis?

And I am a UCLA alum.

:eyes: :eyes:

Don't know what else to say.

3. Isn't it a hoot that they are going to pay

for this "information" about professors, though?

1. An open acknowledgement that they pay $ in order to hear what they want to hear. It worked with certain "journalists" after all, though they seem to think that students will work for far less.

2. They've just destroyed the credibility of their own supporters. From now on, if anyone complains about any liberal professors anywhere, we will wonder if the student accepted money. Can you see someone going to one of the hearings in PA and admitting that they took or expect payment?

5. Oh, but it's only $100 lol

$100 is a lot to a college student, especially if all you have to do is make stuff up.

4. Training a new generation of Repuke congressmen & lobbyists.

It is that the info = money. Nothing else to consider when considering info.

6. Seriously

In the middle of this whole Cunningham, Delay, and 30 Congressman getting bribed by Abramoff fiasco, this might not be the best time to let stuff like this get into the open, the public might just realize they've been duped.

8. Get their "souls" while they are young.

7. challenging BOGUS governmental authority

I guess is labeled as left wing

& when purported governmental authority is AS BOGUS AS IT GETS?

9. Are they wearing brown shirts, too? n/t

10. Are they going to slip tickets out of the country into the lunch bags

of "intellectuals"?

(Something I read in a book about the rise of the Nazis - one of the tactics of a high-up person I can't recall the name of - used to slip faked train tickets to Jerusalem into the lunch bags of the Jewish kids at school)
