Yet AP can say boldly that Obama is certainly Obama's friend, yet not his pal. That makes perfect sense to Obama's typical half-thinking brainwashed voter.
In fact, the typical Democratic voter loves that kind of bold standing up to truth. They view truth and common sense as oppressors.
Evils like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao rose through the employment of such bold lies. There is an inherent ruthlessness in the employment of such statements, and that kind of ruthless wielding of power is admired by many democrats, liberals, marxists, socialists and social deconstructionists.
Why? Because reality itself is their oppressor, and ONLY in lies and enforced fantasy is there LIBERATION.
We in America think of "fantasy" as harmless -- but it is not when backed by a gun, by an army, by secret police and tyrannical tribunals and a gulag. Yet it is lies and fantasy that are what tyrants make as their test of loyalty to the cause.
Obama lies because that is POWER. The AP has learned it, has sipped that concoction. The AP emulates Obama, Obama has learned in the lap of Davis, at the shoulder of Ayers, from the marxist and racial revolutionaries. Forcing a lie upon the people is the greatest form of political power.
You nailed it. It’s Newspeak.
