Re: In 90 contiguous words of Gary I find 1000-fold error, a mischaracterization, a fabrication, and two bald lies<<and I am again reminded what liars and deceivers we are up against. As
I have said before, my high school history teacher brought a real live
American Nazi into school, and as he stood there lying and spinning and
lying some more, I realized, nailing a guy like that is like trying to
nail Jello to the wall.>> Patrick: I posted this even before I read your comment above: <<“Propaganda is a truly terrible weapon in the hands of an expert.” — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1924 <<WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Nazi Party developed a sophisticated propaganda machine that deftly spread lies about its political opponents, Jews and the need for war. But Nazi propaganda was much more complex than that. For the Nazis to achieve power and pursue their racial policies and expansionist war efforts, a much more nuanced picture had to be painted—one that would appeal to broad swaths of the population, not just a fanatical extreme. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s groundbreaking new exhibition, State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda, shows how the Nazis employed propaganda to acquire power and help pave the way for war while creating a climate of hatred, suspicion and, most importantly, indifference that facilitated the elimination from society of Jews and others deemed undesirable by the Nazi state.>> http://www.ushmm.org/museum/press/archives/detail.php?category=06-exhibitions&content=2009-02-04 Good luck with Jon Stewart -- I know he's an ally, not an opponent. PS: For those who don't know, this was Hannibal -- and he was probably the most exceptional commanders in history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal |
