The absurdity of it threatens to over reach even the cleverness of the turbo-Goebbelses of today. However, we can expect much more of this sledgehammer approach, which, despite the absurdity, works very effectively on a non-thinking population, as countless examples have shown us.Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-23513390865841936652008-06-04T11:45:00.000-05:002008-06-04T11:45:00.000-05:00On a different topic, I heard sometime around 7:15...On a different topic, I heard sometime around 7:15 EDT in a discussion about Obama being automatically defeated by McCain since Obama is 'unelectable', they ran a brief quote from a woman who said, "I was an Obama supporter until I heard the quotes from his pastor, now I've gone from being a Liberal Democrat to a Conservative Republican."<BR/><BR/>I want to know more about that piece, for it sure sounded like NPR's on-air people were in agreement that McCain will win.<BR/><BR/>And I want to know more about that woman whose belief structures are so thin that edited and doctored quotes from Rev. Wright caused her to embrace the architects of the destruction of America for the last 7 years.<BR/><BR/>Why did NPR feel the need to go find this one person that loves the grandson of the biggest Nazi financier of WWII (president Bush and his appointed heir McCain) more than the values of the Democratic Party? <BR/><BR/>Why are open and unashamed Nazi-lovers getting such disproportionate amounts of airtime? (Hypothetical question, I know the answer: the Media is under orders from their corporate owners to legitimize the imminent declaration of Martial Law in the US, to facilitate the completion of America's transformation into a totalitarian fascist corporate-controlled police state.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-7517226092419955662008-06-03T09:05:00.000-05:002008-06-03T09:05:00.000-05:00From NPR's position, Did Olmert "mismanage[]" the ...From NPR's position, Did Olmert "mismanage[]" the 2006 Lebanon attack because his country killed more than twice as many civilians as combatants, or because Hezbollah ("If a lightweight fights a heavyweight and gets a draw, the lightweight wins", to quote an Israeli commentator) won?<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid to criticize NPR's pro-Israel stance too harshly since opposing hard Zionism usually leads to one being condemned as an anti-Semite, but I'll say it's stories like this (and the ones showing NPR's third-grade economic understanding) that usually lead to me switching the radio off less than a third of the way in.nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010192286555318443noreply@blogger.com
