    Obama Information Czar Calls For Banning Free Speech

    The controversy surrounding White House information czar and Harvard Professor Cass Sunstein’s blueprint for the government to infiltrate political activist groups has deepened, with the revelation that in the same 2008 dossier he also called for the government to tax or even ban outright political opinions of which it disapproved.

    Sunstein was appointed by President Obama to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an agency within the Executive Office of the President...

    Sunstein also cites the belief that “global warming is a deliberate fraud” as another marginal conspiracy theory to be countered by government action..

    But Sunstein saves his most ludicrous example until last. On page 5 he characterizes as “false and dangerous” the idea that exposure to sunlight is healthy, despite the fact that top medical experts agree prolonged exposure to sunlight reduces the risk of developing certain cancers

    Some noodle has gone and given this news piece 1 star. I can only guess it was birthday the troll.

    Giving stars to a factual account of an event is like voting for a one party state.Utterly pointless.

    Er,all of Obama's appointees have been given this moniker,by the Obama administration itself I might add. Catch up Enda.

    I'd say whoever gave it 5 stars is the troll somehow!

    Go to the back of the class.

    Sunstein’s January 2008 white paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories is the source for this news story.
