This is a wonderful propaganda piece. Notice that the author spends half the article demonizing Hitler, then immediately goes into demonizing Roosevelt as being evil for going to war with Hitler.

The best propaganda mixes truth with the lies, and he does this very well. I've got a flag on my truck. Interestingly enough, nobody told me to put it there, nobody forced me to put it there and nobody better try to take it off there. I put it there for one reason. You screw with one of us, you screw with all of us. As a Cowboys fan, I even found myself rooting for the Giants for a weekend.

The concept of Bush "whipping" us into a war frenzy is absurd. I STILL want to send two sidewinders into the dome of the rock and then see how many of those lizards we can take out when they slither out from under their rocks.

Those SOB's attacked us on our soil. This moron would sit there trying to "understand" them until they shoved a nuke up his *ss and hit the detonator. I don't want to understand them. I want them to understand that on September 11, 2001, they made the worst mistake they could have made.

I'd be thoroughly ashamed that this guy is from Texas, except I have no shame left, knowing Ma Richards and LBJ are also from here.

OK. If you mean its implied i see where your coming form, but i don't see where he actually sais that.

I think the author is stating that nobody told you to put a flag on your truck but they did tell you what it stands for. Same Hitler told the Germans what the swastika stood for (even though in reality it didn't). I never knew the swastika was used by American tribes and and ancient Hindus. I'd really like to see an article that explains this, as it has also been found in a 3rd or 4th Century church in Macedonia.

Again I don't see where it sais this. Unless you mean implied.

I think the article is quite good on explaining the use of propganda.

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.

Sir you warm the halls of my heart there will be no peace until we have made them understand the error of there ways the time for understanding would have better been made before 911 with talk or trade but they decided to attack not us !
