Goebbels 101

Goebbels 101 - "'If you tell a big enough Lie, and keep on repeating it, in the end people will come to believe it."

Case in point:

Senator John F. Kerry attacked President Bush on national security issues today, asserting that Mr. Bush has played politics with the battle against terrorism and that the bombings in Spain show how ineffective his policies have been.

"When it comes to protecting America from terrorism, this administration is big on bluster and they're short on action," Mr. Kerry, the Massachusetts senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said. "But as we saw again last week in Spain, real action is what we need. The Bush administration is tinkering while the clock on homeland security is ticking. And we really don't have a moment of time to waste."

I could repeat the obvious; that the Bush Administration actually did something that has a chance of actually ending terrorism, given enough persistence; that Kerry's approach is downright infantile. I think everyone with the brain the comprehend this split already knows it.

And I don't think Kerry is shooting for that "know what's going on" vote.

By the way -

Mr. Kerry, in his address to the firefighters' union, showed again that he was unwilling to be pre-empted by President Bush on security issues. He said the times demanded "truly dedicating ourselves to homeland security, not using it as a political prop."

Kerry is the one using the war as a prop. Goodness knows he can't use it as a qualification.
