COINTELPRO - Republican Party Remix

Damn those vegan potlucks! They are heinous breeding grounds for terrorists and subversives. Seriously, though. Vegan potlucks? The FBI thinks they are gonna find illegal activities at vegan potlucks?!? Maybe tasteless activities (that lentil loaf looks suspicious). I should concede that smoking certain herbs is still illegal. But c'mon.

Apparently the same thing happened in NYC in '04:

During the lead-up the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City, the NYPD’s Intelligence Division infiltrated and spied on protest groups across the country, as well as in Canada and Europe. The program’s scope extended to explicitly nonviolent groups, including street theater troupes and church organizations.

Our homeland security tax dollars at work.
