So... On A Propaganda Scale Of 1 (Being Minor) and 10 (Being A Metaphysical Monstrosity)...
Where would you rate this? (Notice the Big Head effect) From MSNBC Link as of This Posting: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/



:shrug:

And for bonus points... how many more of these will we see between now and election 2008?

1. I'd actually call that photo Neocon viagra
And Dan Abram's was so excited at the opening of his show I thought his chair was going to spin into the floor. :eyes:

Big Pharma should be alarmed.

3. I'd call it PANIC
Or the last gasp of a dying Presidency.

10+ Propaganda (and a terrorist act in itself)

4. I'm still waiting for the MSM media to ask out loud, "what have we been doing for the last 6 years..
and a $$$trillion dollars later?"

5. A person can go away for 6 and a half years
and nothing changes. Same sh*t different day. This administration has the same fear tactics because they are either pathetic at catching their opponents or they are the ones orchestrating them and paying them to give the appearance of this illusion. Either way, it is BS no matter how you slice it.

7. the good news is it can backfire
"are you safer now than you were six years ago?"

all the ranting and raving in such crap as the hit piece ABC ran blaming Clinton goes out the window. The bastards took their eye off the ball, went adventuring after oil, and screwed the pooch. And their pug bought-and-paid-for cronies and big business are up to their eyeballs.

The fear campaign won't work now - it is a self-condemnation.

If we need to fear al qaeda, then we need new leadership, pronto. We need to implemetn the 9/11 commission (which bush did not want)'s recommendations (which bush has not done). Instead he is eavesdropping on citizens to compile a political enemies list. J Edgar Hoover lives.

8. I would rate it a ten if you ...
Included Bush and his crew in a group shot!

Titular, created villains, (or fictional protagonists and antagonists, depending on how you see it) go together like hot dogs and buns and they keep the masses occupied while the real stuff gets done behind the scenes and in the secreted board rooms of America and elsewhere.

9. Well, they just changed their minds again. Now there is no credible threat.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be scared of anymore.
