This is a wonderful propaganda piece...

What you said.

I think I'll add here, though, that the purpose of propaganda like this piece is not so much to whip people into an emotional frenzy, but to make it very tedious to go through it and refute every point that needs refuting. Since the process of refutation is so tiresome, few people who recognize the untruths bother... and the people who don't have all the facts end up believing the propaganda.

Well said! I fit into the category of one of the "few who recognize the untruths" that doesn't bother to go about refuting the bits that are ridiculous. Sean
