Inspiration for the GOP and RW Media Tactics from the Past

[Brewman_Jax]

"If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth."

“Think of the press as a great keyboard
on which the government can play.”

“The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.”

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”

Do these tactics look familiar? They are put in regular use by the GOP and the RW media machine. The quotes above are all attributed to...

Joseph Goebbels, the Reichminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda for the National Socialist German Workers Party, better known as the Nazi Party, and senior party member for then party leader Adolph Hitler.

Coincidence that the same tactics are in use in the present like in the past? I think not.

OMG the wingers are lowdown and dirty. I hope it bites them.

Joe the Plumber used all of 'em tonight on his interview with Lawrence O'Donnell. Shameless.

It's sad that they have more in common with the oppressors than the enlightened.
