Thanks for that. One of the Goebbels rules of propaganda is that there must be one source. It is glaringly obvious that the Leftist DNC rigidly follows that rule.

https://www.redstate.com/alexparker/2019/09/11/report-the-dnc-launched-an-initiative-to-infiltrate-talk-radio-are-their-instructions-still-being-followed/

According to a new report, prior to the 1996 election — via which Bill Clinton faced a dubious 2nd term — the Democratic Party hatched a plan to inundate conservative talk radio show with callers who were sneakily in fact left-wingers. The mission? To push Democrat talking points.

Evidence of the Talk Radio Initiative was discovered within documents at the Clinton Presidential Library, as noted by The Washington Free Beacon.

According to the article, the effort was launched in light of the tremendous GOP victory of the 1994 midterms — for the first time since 1954, Republicans ruled the House.

In an internal report from the time, the DNC laid it out:

Democrats have largely ignored talk radio, and only since the last election, have we paid attention to how we can win back the airwaves and the discussion. We have now put our frustration into action.

So their idea was to convert hardcore conservative radio listeners with liberal ideas?

Yep. From the Free Beacon:

[W]ith the blessing of the Clinton White House, launched the Talk Radio Initiative (TRI) ahead of the 1996 campaign. The program trained thousands of operatives to call in to radio shows, conduct surveillance of their contents, and secretly disseminate Democratic talking points while posing as ordinary listeners...

After shots rang out in Dealey Plaza, MacNeil, who was with the presidential motorcade, followed crowds running onto the Grassy Knoll (he appears in a photo taken just moments after the assassination).

Antietam has "the Cornfield". Gettysburg has "the Wheatfield". Dallas has "the Grassy Knoll". Places of reverence.

If I were Matt Groening, I'd move the Simpsons to Springfield's newest development, called Grazzee Knoll (developed by a Mr. Grazzee), complete with stockade fences separating each lot.

Reinhard Heydrich was an accomplished pianist and fencing champion. So what? Lehrer was a dirt bag.
