Why are the right wing nuts going on and on about Cloward-Piven Strategy?
I'm hearing this over and over again from the right. Do they think it makes them sound politically savvy or is it more far right conspiracy nonsense a la Glenn Beck, etc.? Both?

1. i think they've somehow convinced themselves that it's obama's master plan

to bankrupt the country, re-distribute wealth, and centrally plan the economy or something.

or, however they think the cloward-piven strategy works:

2. I had never heard of it until recently.
I believe that asshat James O'keefe claimed to be using Cloward-Piven strategy.

3. Yeah this is one of the new wingnut talking points. Figures it would be from the 60's too.
I'm going to guess this is getting pimped by Glenn Beck.

It's non college educated wingnut dipshits trying to sound more clever and educated than they are.
