Thank you for your post. I was wondering - would you be willing to post it as a new thread linking back to this one? I am afraid this has fallen off the pages - more people need to see it. In the event that Obama is using these techniques (and I believe he is) then that 30 minute pre-football game infomercial of his has me worried. It would be good if freepers had another chance to look this over, and some encouragement to stsay with the document through to the end because it doesn’t become persuasive until you check the footnotes, references, and read all the way through.
Then - it would be nice if (yeah...I am making my Christmas list early) that those who don’t have time for this kind of thing or who are even more skeptical than I was, could be given (youtube) a cliff’s notes version of what to watch for during his 30 minute SuperBowl infomercial. If they had a “fill in the blank” form (write down the last word he says before each pause, check the boxes for triggers etc.)to ‘play’ along with while he talks - it could illuminate and interest people.
I see that this thread was reposted this morning: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2108706/posts
On that thread, I found this link to a very disturbing video regarding propaganda.
