Barack Obama: The Way-Left-of-Center Candidate


Get a load of this Faux News talker, Michael Steele. He's a second stringer, spotting the vacationing Sean Hannity of Hannity & Colmes.

And that there is former presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, laughing in Steele's face at what a buffoon he is. Steele has likely never heard of Bernie Sanders, Independant Senator from Vermont and self-professed Socialist who would be considered, among others, to be a bit more to the left of center politically than Obama.

Normally, Sister would find it distasteful to quote the likes of Joseph Goebbels. Unless, that is, she can find a good example of Goebbel's philosophy at work in American media. Right-wing gasbag talking head propagandists provide examples every day on Faux, as displayed above.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels.
