'''Liberal infiltration''' refers to the tendency of [[liberals]] to try to insinuate themselves into groups of other [[politics|political]] ideologies, in order to subvert, slander, or corrupt them. It is a continuing historical phenomena; possibly the first, and most obvious example, being the [[French Turn]] advocated by [[Trotsky]] during the 1930s, which was a series of peaceful protests and demonstrations by members of various [[socialist]] parties attempting to overthrow the fairly and democratically elected governments of Europe at the time, such as in [[France]].<ref>Isaac Deutscher, The Prophet Outcast: Trotsky, 1929-1940.</ref> It has continued throughout history, with groups such as the so-called '[[Christian Identity]]'<ref>[http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/david_hirsh/2006/03/the_mearsheimer_and_walt_discu.html An article from the UK Guardian on the subject]</ref> and the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]] worming their way into the media and politics.<ref>http://buyo.blogspot.com/2000/01/whats-nice-trot-doing-in-place-like.html</ref> It was this tradition that Senator [[Joseph McCarthy]] unsuccessfully attempted to halt in the early 1950s.
