LESSONS FROM ADOLF HITLER?

April 29, 2005

I’m sure that you’ve heard the expression, “Tell a lie often enough, and loud enough, and before long people will think you’re telling the truth.” Add a little compassion and the joining of souls, and you’ve captured your audience. So it was for Hitler and so it was long before him.

The lesson hasn’t been lost on many of our politicians in 2004. Tell the world that Bush went AWOL and that Kerry threw his medals away, and before long, it’s history: fact or not! Democrats believe Bush went AWOL, and Republicans believe Kerry threw his medals away. Who knows what the Independents believe.

There is some garbage that only a fool would fall for though. For me the most obvious recent “spin”, as O’Reilly would say, came from John Kerry himself. He’s now trying to get across to the down-and-out public that, as he puts it, “He feels their pain”.

Workers have too little health care, they are under paid, not appreciated, and their pension plans are way short of what they should be. He feels their pain, bro!

Really? How so? How does a man who is married into the Heinz fortune worth hundreds of millions able to do that? How does a man, who makes millionaire Bush look like a piker, that owns several mansions in various states and nations, come across as “feeling their pain”?

And what does it say to the “little man” when he hears that John Kerry flies in his hair-stylist and gets a trim job costing right at $1,000- as he did three days ago? I think he needs a new speech writer or at least a new publicity consultant if he thinks his “compassion theme” is going to fly.

Not even Hitler tried to sell that big of a “stink-bomb”.
