Soviet style propaganda artists like Karl Rove also use mobs of stooges and thugs to spread name-calling, racial smears, anti-patriotic smears and innuendos about political opponents, scape-goating them without any factual basis. Today they do this on the radio and through websites like Newsmax and Drudge. The Nazis did the same thing. They would especially go after the greatest champions of the people, war heros, the ones they feared the most. Anyone who was better than them basically. Today we see the righwing try to do to smart honest progressives and war heros opposing them what the Nazis first did to Jews, branding them as anti-nationistic weaklings, parasites, subhumans, non-soldiers, not real men, not real patriots of the home country. Arnold knows these tricks too. He was brought up in the post Nazi era. Hence his "girlie men" statement. Pure Nazi type talk. Once they succeeded in that, they wrested power and then used phony foreign threats to really crack down. Bushies won't take it that far but politically this is their game plan. Make honest common sense moderates nd liberals look like godless sissy traitors then clamp down and secure one-party rightwing rule. Promising to be moderates themselves then baiting and switching after the election. Democracy be damned too. Any trick to limit the affects of democracy is fair game to them, including smear campaigns, intimidation, voter roll scrubbing and other means of voter fraud. Also important for them is media control, putting out the myth of a liberal media then dominating media themselves. Anyone who exposes them in the media is a anti-American. Bush = America just like Hitler = Germany and the commie party = Mother Russia. Disturbing similarities all around particularly inside the brains of Rove, Hannity, Limbaugh, Gillespie and the other rightwing propaganda experts.
