Liberal infiltration refers to the tendency of liberals to try to insinuate themselves into groups of other 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.[1] It has continued throughout history, with groups such as the so-called 'Christian Identity'[2] and the Revolutionary Communist Party worming their way into the media and politics.[3] It was this tradition that Senator Joseph McCarthy unsuccessfully attempted to halt in the early 1950s. A contemporary example of liberal infiltration is the attempt by theological liberals and even Marxists to gain control of the Southern Baptist Convention.[4]
