Jack Cashill: The early Soviets coined the word “agitprop” as a blend between the Russian agitatsiya (agitation) and “propaganda.”

So true.

I really think that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, MSNBC etc. have far surpassed the Soviet propaganda machine. Soviet propaganda was heavy handed and easily identifiable. On the other hand propaganda, American style is very subtle.

Terrific piece, putting all that video together, especially with the Berkeley comparison and McClatchy headline. This is the kind of thing you have to spread to folks who still trust the MSM. Breitbart.tv has got it goin on.

We finally got the video and audio of the “spitter” and it’s all BS. No racial epithets either. Cleaver is the racist for spreading this lie.
