Review of Max (2000) by Dennis B — 05 Jan 2009
If you've lived through the past eight years of the Bushies and Rove/Atwater-style propaganda, it's a real eye-opener to see how their political forebears in the Nazi Party got their start. Granted the underlying motives have changed from racial warfare to class warfare, but the execution is exactly the same - use simple, repetitive phrases based in either religion, tradition or bogus science that simultaneously rile up and brainwash a disaffected and desperate portion of the population.
..connecting with their emotions rather than their reason allows the propagandiers to steer the debate to wherever they want, even if it's in the people's WORST INTERESTS - so long as they unite behind and commit to destroy a common enemy - then it was Jews, now it's Arabs/Muslims.
I would say this is required viewing for anyone wanting to understand why the modern Republicans are continually compared to the Third Reich.
