[[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 [[Christian Identity]] and the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]] worming their way into the media and politics. It was this tradition that Senator [[Joseph McCarthy]] unsuccessfully attempted to halt in the early 1950s.

Why such underhanded tactics are resorted to is unclear; it would seem that, without sufficient justification for [[liberal opinions|their own positions]], liberals often seek to undermine their opponents through less fair methods.
