15. Why?
Other than to be purposefully confrontational why do such a thing? Are you under the illusion that you are going to somehow change their minds after you basically admit to them that you have been a fraud and a liar the entire time? Pretending to be someone your not to infiltrate their group to satisfy you own curiosity (nosy) about "what's going on in my local community".

While you obviously disagree with these people politically it is perfectly legit to disagree with you on issues confronting our country. What would you feel about a right wing person doing the same thing to a group of war protesters or HCR supporters? Should atheist pretend to believe in God so they can go to church a few time the "unmask" themselves to the congregation and call them all idiots? What good would you expect to come out of this?

At the time I'm typing this post, the worst thing you have said about them is they are against bank bailouts and regulations. oooohhhhhhh scary stuff. C'mon, if we are so insecure about our own beliefs that we have to lie to others to infiltrate their groups then we aren't doing something right.

You know when people do that on the DU they are labeled trolls, generally considered a-holes, and tossed out.
