    It seems to work. People, all of us, are kind of stupid and when we hear things repeated we remember them. None of us are immune to propaganda.

    Repeating something simple, and false, that appeals to emotions is going to have a bigger impact than something longer and complicated.

      And if you doubt that, remember half the country still believes Haitian refugees are stealing and eating people’s pets.

      How does the line go? A lie can run around the world before the truth has its boots on?
