When Propaganda is Effective

So, a mother comes in and says to me, "Do you know what my son said the other day?" and of course I said "No."

"He said 'Remember that bumper sticker Dr. C. had on his car last year?' " (This was a vote for Kerry one)

"Mom, that man is a liar. He shot himself in the foot to get a purple heart!"

The moral of the story is that the "Swift Boaters" were successful to a far greater degree than they could ever realize. Embedded in our culture is a false meme that will not ever go away. No matter what we say to this child, he will grow up thinking that Kerry is a liar.

Ken Melman and the Republican National Committe is getting ready to do the same thing to a number of good, honest men and women this Fall. We are such chickens that we won't stand up to him.

Its sad how countries come apart.
