Can someone De-bunk this Entirely? I have to admit it does sound

possible. I'm not sure about the probability though. For sure the particular article in question is satire, but how about the allegations themselves. Satire has brought to light quite a few "truths" lately about our government.

"When the 109th Congress convenes in Washington in January, Senator Bill Frist, the first practicing physician elected to the Senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define 'political paranoia' as a mental disorder"

1. I think it's 'disinformation'; Infowars is leaning to satire but…

…isn't sure, so they're adopting a 'wait and see' attitude.

I think it's just something designed to make us look foolish when we react to it.

2. Sure...

This was a joke post made by someone at another forum... not sure which one. This is not real, it is one of "our" as in the progressive side kind of jokes...but the fact that it can be real does not suprise anyone, that is the scary part.

3. Can't be legit!!!

Physicians do not have control of mental disorder definitions.

That is the domain of psychiatrists/psychologists.

Psychiatrists and psychologists can define anything that Frist does as a mental disease.

4. right

and the APA overall controlls that, with the DSM-IV (soon to be V)
