Didn't someone wise and famous say something to the effect of "all men lie"? Who was that? Ah yes, God.

And since we're on the subject of Nazis, here's another quote from my favorite one of them all:

"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. "

-Adolf Hitler

"Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. I speak differently in the provinces than I do in Berlin, and when I speak in Bayreuth, I say different things than I say in the Pharus Hall. That is a matter of practice, not of theory. We do not want to be a movement of a few straw brains, but rather a movement that can conquer the broad masses. Propaganda should be popular, not intellectually pleasing. It is not the task of propaganda to discover intellectual truths."

-Joseph Goebbels

@bjonston:
When, in 1959, Rose Kennedy spoke on behalf of her son's candidacy for the presidency, she wore to Beacon Hill tea parties very elegant attire. In the cab ride on the way to South Boston, where lived the families of Irish immigrant domestics, she changed to cardigan sweaters.

So there.

I hate the big fat pig, but Goebbels appear in both parties.

@dell123: Yeah, maybe. Except one side are Nazis and the other side aren't. So, whatever, dude. You can say what you want about the Kennedy's, at least they didn't slaughter six million Jews.

I keep fantasizing that one day soon Karl Rove, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann "Douchebag" Coulter, Bill O'Reilly and Dick Cheney will be found in a Heaven's Gate-style suicide situation, naked and no longer with us, as they say, but rather in the next world (and not the white happy one but the red and scary one), having drunk the magic Kool-Aid in response to the election of Barack Hussein Obama.

Hope springs eternal.

Now, now. Rove is a policy wonk. There's nothing evil about that.

It just so happens he figured out how to tap into the hidden potential in a far right sub-section, mold it and then turn it into a monster.

And didn't bother to have a back-up plan when the monster killed his wife, called him father and then ran off screaming into the Arctic.

Luckily, Rove already read that book and let bygones be bygones.

Rove is like the old mafia dons who attempted to dress for success and surround themselves with the trappings of kultsher when their rise was due strictly to low-grade street thuggery. Like his arrogance about cleverly marketing to the exurban soccer moms and non-union Christian truckdrivers when his methods and the maps showed he played strictly and always to the low base racism and ignorance of the south and the plains. Take away the dim fearful hateful yokels and nobody would be talking about this chump today, or yesterday neither.

Lincoln was much over-rated; the Civil War made possible Rovian politics forever.

Mr. President-elect, have you met Karl Rove?

"Yes, I know him. He was a member of the White House staff while I was in the Senate and we shared a mutual friend, Ken Mehlman, my law-school classmate. When I went to the White House, we would talk about our mutual friend and I would also tell him that 'turd blossom' pretty much sums him up."
