The Big Lie is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, for a lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Hitler believed the technique was used by Jews to unfairly blame Germanys loss in World War I on German Army officer Erich Ludendorff.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

Stalin and Hitler would be envious of the evil bastards we’re up against today.
I noticed Obama blamed the bad economy on troubles in Europe, the Japanese earthquake, and the "Arab spring". Now it's the Tea Party.
When he gets around to blaming Antarctica, we'll know he's run out of ideas.
