LOL look at the propaganda

Scroll down and look at the chart. Carefully.

I'm sorry, why in the hell did they make that again? Unbelievably transparent.

1. Oh good grief on a pogo stick!
That's just plain offensive! Someone should tell Media Matters about that crap.

2. That is outrageous!!!
But some will be tricked by it. "Look how much better things are in 2006!!" If only they could make all years 3 months long. :eyes:

4. I don't think its propaganda; I think whoever wrote the thing is just that
stooopid.

The interesting thing is, even if a person would "register" in his/her mind that "hey, its only March 13, we're not even a fourth of the way into the year", you wonder if that graph may still hold some subconscious pull with them that "hey, maybe things ARE getting better"

5. They need to show the Iraqi deaths.
It seems like droves of people have died in the past three months--more than this time last year, even though I do not have the figures to cite.

7. Well, to this bunch, Iraqis are not people
so that is a bit of a problem of perception, what?

6. Agreed. Graphic propaganda at the bottom.
However, so far the results on the polls are reasonable. Looks like the majority of people who participated are sane.

9. Um...
...they do realize that we are only in the third month of 2006, right? A more realistic graphic would be to track casualties by quarter. Pretty f'n stupid.

11. Did you see the votes on support of the war before it started?
Why cant some people admit they were fooled by the lies and now they know the truth?
