That the McCain and Palin are running a campaign based on the assumption that people are too stupid or ignorant and unsophisticated to notice their style of propaganda -- or the fact that despite that, a heck of a lot of people still seem to be ready to vote for them.

They are doing it because they know it is effective. They know that they don't have to trick all Americans... they only have to trick a few hundred thousand...or a few million voters... enough to flip the election in their favor.<BR/><BR/>And they know this stuff works... look at the whisper campaign about Obama's religion for example. There are thousands of folks today (probably more) who still believe that Obama is a Muslim. And that was the result of Republicans and their surrogates communicating to voters indirectly through false emails, and indirectly on TV networks (dog whistling). And it was still effective.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.com
