People who believe in imaginary government conspiracies
One of the most gratifying moments of yesterday's FISA debate came when Orrin Hatch's head quite nearly had a Scanners moment:

We have seen, in my opinion, dramatic fearmongering. Many individuals, particularly on partisan blogs, are spreading misleading and malicious information in order to incite fear of alleged governmental activities. This bill should not include text which panders to people who believe in imaginary government conspiracies.
