    In a way, the serious Maria Butina (accused Russian agent) story and the Sacha Baron Cohen stories are similar. Both demonstrate how vulnerable prominent conservative political figures are to being duped/infiltrated, via a referral/introduction (specifically, from a gun group).

        In both cases, the “spy” is a foreigner who presents themselves as a conservative ally. This covers a multitude of sins.

        Why do you assume the conservative pols were duped by her? Maybe they knew all along.

        Probably because they went on TV and complained about being duped

        The ironic thing is that at the Sharon Conference in 1960, YAF founders were told to "infiltrate" existing cultural institutions (different connotation of the word, though). Now we're the ones being infiltrated, in a sinister way....

        Yes. Strict adherence to (D) party 'values', or doom.

        Also. They will believe anything as long as it is a pretty woman saying it. That is why fox " news" loads the air time with pretty women. Because the idiiots just want to see t&a. You can say anything if you show some leg.
