Wrong, oh educated one. Actually, ALL political speech is propaganda. 1. The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause. 2. Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause: wartime propaganda. 3. Propaganda Roman Catholic Church. A division of the Roman Curia that has authority in the matter of preaching the gospel, of establishing the Church in non-Christian countries, and of administering Church missions in territories where there is no properly organized hierarchy. - American Heritage Dictionary n : information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause - WordNet ® 2.0, © 2003 Princeton University Like so many other overused, politically charged words, it doesn't mean what you think it means. But I do like that second definition you offered. It describes you lefties so well. "... without regard to facts or the right of others to be heard. Propaganda often presents the same argument repeatedly, in the simplest terms and ignores all rebuttal or counter-argument."
