This might explain a lot. It should be an interesting read for those students of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis as well. No wonder they seemed like an invasion of in your face zombies - numb to even the simplest logic or evidence.

Certainly, as much as I disagree with David Brooks or David Frum or Kathleeen Parker— they aren’t stupid or in any case, any more susceptible to hypnosis than Freepers.

I think a more plausible explanation than hypnosis, is that the majority of Americans, 50-some-odd percent anyway, want more free stuff from the government.

[ladyvet]

Nah, just typical white dead people voting over and over and over...........

[April Lexington]

Iduhnoh...
I watched the speech and was as agitated as ever. Didn't seem to work on me. But, I wasn't there and I didn't drink any Kool Aide that day, so... Who knows!

[LRS]

...well now for the first time on television ‘Interesting People’ brings you a man who claims he can send bricks to sleep by hypnosis. Mr Keith Maniac from Guatemala.

[FreedBird]

Many people who voted for him were turned into zombees. They were placed into a trance and went to the polls. The MSM chanted words to continue the trance like state.

The next time a salesman tries to sell you something, watch how he nods his head up and down as he makes his pitch. It's another form of suggestive hypnosis designed to make you more susceptible to saying yes.

[Rudder]

I've got to burst this bubble with facts.

People cannot be hypnotized without their consent.

[MountainWoman]

I love the Secondary Hidden Meanings/Imbedded Suggestions bullet...

“For those of you who didn’t vote for me...I am still your president...” I wonder what he was REALLY saying...

God, it’s like 28 days later...

[cripplecreek]

No voodoo required, his voters are idiots.

[IronJack]

And people wonder why the Right Wing is regarded as Moonbat City.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

As a reminder we all know what happened.

After supporting illegal’s and ‘fine gold’, and other dimwitted legislation there were too many conservatives that don’t trust McLame.

Those moves seemed like catering to the left for political gain.

We all knew this before he got the nod.

And most of us an FR knew he couldn’t win as a result.

Obama I think actually helped us more than a more moderate candidate but there was no way for conservatives to trust McLame again.

Boy were we ever RIGHT ABOUT THIS ONE.

Him jumping on the bailout reminded us why we didn’t like McLame in the first place. He is a ‘Big Government” Republican.

[autumnraine]

It also explains the reason everyone looked like zombies when they woke up on Weds morning.

[umgud]

Did Obama use hypnosis in speeches? OZombies!

No. He used academia, the unions, Hollywood and the MSM to use distortion, coercion, propaganda and outright lying.

[Feline_AIDS]

Some of this makes sense though...

For instance—if you say enough obviously true things frequently, you can throw other things in there, and people don’t scrutinize them because they’ve let their guard down because they’ve heard so much obvious truth.

[HungarianGypsy]

I giggle a little at this only because it was a plot on a PBS children’s show my children just saw. Mind control was used by Mr. Evil to get votes. He looked like Bill Clinton with a mask.

[Maurice Tift]

Obama is not just using subliminal messages, but textbook covert hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming techniques on audiences that are intentionally designed to sideline rational judgment and implant subconscious commands to think he is wonderful and elect him President. Obama is eloquent.

  Uh.... Uh... the... this... uh...

hmmmm... maybe it is hypnosis... I wasn't affected since I changed the channel quickly when I heard him on TV.

[FFranco]

There might be some truth to this. Additionally, since Obama’s birth certificate cannot be produced, has anyone explored the possibility that he may not be of this Earth?

[spodefly]

I have been using these exact same techniques in my posts on FreeRepublic, and in bar room conversations with coeds.

The crap doesn’t work or I would be Supreme Ruler/Hottie Sex Toy by now ...

[mjp]

Milton Erickson hypnosis

[sageb1]

I don’t think so. It’s just his voice and the fact that there are a lot of stupid people out there. I have to mute the TV when he’s on. I can’t listen to his voice anymore.

Interestingly, though, Gary Zukav, who started appearing on Oprah about the same time as Dr. Phil, did use hypnosis on her audience. I remembering watching the women’s faces as he spoke and thinking something weird was going on. I did a little research on him and discovered that he’d studied hypnosis.
