Reichwingnut Groups posing as legitimate organizations
I've been seeing a very troubling trend in society today. There are multiple Reichwingnut organizations posing and posturing as "mainstream" and s"scientific" to push the dominionist agenda on the world. One insidious such group is the American college of Pediatricians:

http://www.acpeds.org

I wanted to open a thread where we could begin exposing thses dominionist organizations for what they are, propaganda to further fascism in America.

Please post links to and "out" any Fascist organizations posing as mainstream that you can in this thread.

Thanks.

1. This has been going on since 1973,
when the Heritage Foundation, granddaddy of neo-fascist "think tanks," was established. Just think about how many times since '73 Heritage has been presented in the MSM media as the "other side" of any debate.

Since Heritage opened the door, a seemingly endless list of these neo-fascist organizations have been created. Many, many of them have been MSM darlings, and through them, the MSM (including PBS and NPR)has mainstreamed right-wing extremism.

As we can clearly see now, these extremist organizations are indeed a threat to a functioning democracy in this country.

2. And they are apparently getting better at the propaganda angle
Go read some of the crap spewed on the site I listed in the OP. Chilling that these loons might actually be mistaken for scientists!
