Thomas quote "That's not surprising, once you consider the fact that the majority of Americans have been terrified into believing that Saddam was behind 9/11. If you believe that, you would probably also think Bush is a hero. Goebbels would be proud." Ken, IMO he is talking about US govt manipulation of opinion thru the big lie technique a la Goebels. Bush's name is used in another context here but the implication still seems clear--Bush admin using goebbel tactics to fool the american people. I didnt say anything in the above is anti-semetic. He might just have easily talked about the USSR propaganda machine as he did the nazis. I am not naive and know all about spin, but not amused about the association that Thomas made. Goebbels is a particularly odious figure and I guess some think Bush is as well. That is upsetting. Mike
