I wonder if McCain can counter this.

Can he run ads showing Obama making his anchor sign pausing on the words “Terrorist”, “Anti-American”, etc.

Obama can’t say anything about it, without drawing attention to his own techniques.

Could he go even further and using Obama’s anchor picture command people to vote for McCain?

The ideal will be the ads after Obama's 30-minute infomercial (after they analyzed which signs Obama used in that 30-minute period). People who don't fall for it in the first place will be baffled by the ads, but the victims will get the message.

The article (footnotes, p11) does make mention of a McCain campaign ad ("The One") where one of Obama's messages was incorporated into the ad, perhaps unknowingly.

Deception involves concepts like propaganda, distraction and/or concealment.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception 27 “The unconscious mind is the source of our energy. No amount of will power exerted by the conscious mind can override it.” Modern Hypnosis Theory and Practice, Masud Ansari, Ph..D., p43

I wonder if McCain can counter this.

I was thinking what if he put out a disguised commercial that on the surface was an Obama commercial that would appeal to Obamiacs but implanted was the message disavow every message that you have received from Obama. It could be put out by some supposed Obama support group but it says don't vote for him on the subliminal level. It could hit all the programs Obamiacs are likely to be watching and/or listening to one and two days before the election. What could Obama do? It would be too late for him to counter it and if he did it could be pooh poohed or explained that it was to help deprogram people. Fight fire with hotter fire is what I say. Does anyone have the guts and resources to do it?
