If this has any interest at all, I ask that the more talented among us make use of anything at this link:

http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm

It’s a collection of German propaganda posters with similiar messages to what’s going on.

I can’t manage to copy and paste - is that what HTML is for? I know it’s late, so I’ll repost this tomorrow somewhere.

God bless us and The United States of America

Forgive me...I’m on a tear (tare)...

just found this: regarding Nazi Germany

Goering: ‘Because, gentlemen, I have enough of these demonstrations! They don’t harm the Jew but me, who is the last authority for coordinating the German economy.’

here: an entire transcripted conversation.

Is it correct? I don’t know. Factual. ?? Interesting? Maybe.

That site has some awesome material, thanks for the link.

May I suggest however, that the paralleling of the 0bama regime to the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich ought to remain subdued. YES, IT IS ALARMINGLY TRUE. But the tactic belongs to and on the other side. It's one thing to entertain ourselves, and there are some incredible opportunities possible with that art. It's another thing to be counterproductive.

One directory up from where you linked, though, http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/ (which is quite extensive and I haven't perused it) is a lot of historical material related to the propaganda effort.

Thing is, all of this is true, true, true. Alarmingly true. The problem is, anyone with a brain already sees it.

The challenge, as I have said in my very strong criticism of the RNC ads I've seen so far...is how do you address the people with NO brains. How do you reach the UNconverted? It is a VERY daunting task. All the RNC ads I've seen so far are addressed to folks who are already disinclined towards 0bama, eg; they have no conversion potential. I believe that if you throw messages at people who are almost certain not to understand them, you discomfort them with YOUR message and entrench them further in the OTHER message. So I hate seeing these pedestrian namby-pamby subtle/sophisticated Rep ads. They aren't going to connect, and I've written multi-page, scene-by-scene detailed letters to RNC Communications explaining exactly what is wrong with their ads. No reply so far.
