For #6, I also would’ve accepted those media shots of Obama speaking to cheering throngs during his Ich Bin Ein Berliner speech.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselve teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.”

OK, Professor Harvey, I took notes!
1. Glittery Generalities – “That’s Change we can believe in!”
2. Transfer – “Jesus was a Community Organizer, Pontus Pilate was a Governor!”
3. Name-Calling – “Typical white person”, “Bitter people clinging to guns and religion”.
4. Card-stacking – “I inherited the National Debt, that’s why I had to triple it!”
5. Testimonial – Jerimiah Wright, William Ayers, Louis Farakan, Fidel Castro.
6. Plain Folks – “Death to Whitey! Power to the People!”
7. Band Wagon – “Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!”

How’d I do?

In portuguese the word for advertisement is PROPAGANDA. We borrowed it and gave it the negative connotations but in reality its merely “divulgacao” or “divulgation” ( process of divulging )

There are two rules to life:

Obama’s propaganda makes my brain hurt.

That’s a good sign. If you listen to O’scheise speak and don’t feel an urge to take Tylenol, then you have a problem and need to listen to “A Time for Choosing” ASAP.

Oh, and keep these coming, Harvey.

That was brilliant. We need to resurrect the 50s to teach kids about civics and critical thinking.

Harvey, I have to confess that I’m having increasing difficulty discussing him. We don’t all have your strength and persistence of wit, you know.

OK, I’ll try. Obama = Propaganda. Ow.

Actually Harvey, the right use Truth. The left use propaganda. Persuasion is neither right nor wrong, it’s just a tool.

I’d say that Dear Leader is very good at making use of ~~mainstream news and entertainment media~~ propaganda.

Oh, and First?!
