A nice counter-propaganda ad would be stoking up people’s complaints about Palin being dumb on Talabani, waiting a week or two for it to stew while acting defensive, and then hitting out an ad that actually shows Palin saying Maliki and Talabani rather than Maliki and the Talabani.

The best counter-propaganda is when the enemy has saturated the audience with the specific propaganda you are countering. Dan Rather did us all a favor by going whole hog on his propaganda operation, to the extent that almost everybody knew about it, whether we wanted them to or not. When the counter-propaganda hit, he was sunk.

He had a dug a hole and drew an audience that he could no longer get rid of. Not in the dark, at least.

[...] working with us are knowing again that we are getting closer and closer to the point of victory.” The Talibani obviously are our absolute enemy and have been since 9/11; Maliki, our central ally in Iraq. This to me is a tremendous blunder, [...]

“‘How low will these people go??’

Lower still…they will not lose this election. Anything they can do to win they will do. Some of it will end up being extremely illegal and it won’t bother them a bit since the ends justify the means.”

Sounds absolutely Clintonian.

I thought Cecile Dionne did a *great* job with the Titanic sound track.

Ummmmm — what?

Without victory, the truth no longer matters.

Papamas, it goes further. A story in our local rag last week listed the destruction of McCain’s aircraft in the Forrestal fire along with some of his prangs – it was an obvious attempt to make it look like his plane was destroyed by him crashing it!

Unbelievable!

VJ,

Go to the transcript as pointed to by Neo (go to the VP not First Pres debate). You’ll see that she didn’t use the word “the” in front of Talibani. Tom and Dionne, the dummies, added it because they needed it to prove how stupid she is. Instead they proved how stupid they are, as well as deceitful.

Don’t you feel silly for not reading the original transcript? Naw. The truth wouldn’t suit your purpose.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden can have Hezbollah kicked out of Lebanon, and Roosevelt broadcasting to the nation on TV in 1929, and walks away whistling.

toby928, it is most definitely not to laugh. These assholes are going to win the White House because the media is flagrantly covering for them and openly smearing their opponents.

Sounds like she was reciting memorized sound bites and confused herself between the Taliban and Iraqi President Jalal Talibani….hmmmm….

I guess when you don’t have any pride you can say things like this and not be bothered.
