Cass Sunstein? You decide

How about this guy.  

Sunstein was confirmed by the Senate as the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, otherwise known as the nation’s“regulatory czar.” 
According to Red State.com, Cass Sunstein, President Obama's regulatory Czar, has championed creating fake websites and using outside 501(c)(3) interest groups to act as alleged independent champions of government policy and to,  "cognitively infiltrate," opposition websites. WHAT?
In other words, Cass Sunstein has favored the government using outside parties as government propaganda agents to paint their opposition as fringe and undermine their credibility, kind of like what's been happening with the Tea Party movement now. Let's see, wasn't that SEIU members pretending to be Tea Party activists, causing violence (beating and kicking that young black veteran who was just trying to sell American flags) in front of TV cameras? Where was their shame and where are their prison sentences?

Sunstein advocates that the government's stealthy 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 those  "independent" credible voices to bolster the government's message.

Is this an abuse of power? You decide.

Considering Sunstein's recommendations, it is not far removed to speculate that the Obama administration is behind a new anti Tea Party website called "The Other 25," which defends the government from Tea Party criticisms and attacks the Tea Party movement as a fringe. The website purports to be authentically grassroots, though one must wonder when the last time any grassroots activists took the time to defend the government. The designer is affiliated with moveon.org and other leftwing websites. But the most notable is the donation page. You can make donations to Democracy in Action. Democracy in Action is not for individual activists to use. It is for small and medium size 501(c)(3) organizations and others on the left. Democracy in action? Its clients include ACORN, True Majority, and the NAACP. Let's also remember that Center For American Progress led by Obama's transition team director John Podesta has a regular 8:00 a.m. phone call to coordinate activity on the left. To call authentic inauthentic and then create something inauthentic, demanding it be called authentic. Say what?

What is it that he is supposed to regulate?

This is the person Cass Sunstein is, and this is what Cass Sunstein does. He nudges. He moves. He slides into positions.

I think this speaks for itself. I am appalled that someone with his mentality is this close to our President. In fact I am downright speechless (for the moment that is.) Are you rendered speechless also? If not blog me with your thoughts
