Watch this humorous cartoon from 1948 and see how much of today is showed in it. Just think, 1948 and they saw all this coming.

Notice how much the face of the snake oil salesman looks like the cartoon face of one of our most powerful politicians is portrayed today.

Too much truth in this one and already at least half of the people in this country have been taken in by the ism salesman.

So it's not YOU that's been taken by the "Ism", it's everyone else. Never us, always them.

Roy has signed up for McCarthyism from the salesman.

I guess it's too bad for the rest of the world it ended in the early 1950's...but 5 decades isn't too long to get more red scares going on

Your talking about capitalism, right?

or neoconservatism?

or alarmism?

or maybe absurdism?

or a bit idiotism?

This video showed perfectly what will happen when you buy into what a Snake oil salesman (0bama and the rest of em) is selling...

It was true in 1948 and it's true now, the fact that he even looks like 0bama peddling "Hope and Change" and class warfare drives the point home in an erie fashion...

Darned sure an eerie fashion. The first time I saw that cartoon was some years ago but it is so much like what we have been seeing, especially since Obama became the chief snake oil salesman.

Propaganda works best when it is simple, but it's still propoganda.

As a poster stated, (on the Youtube site):

.......we should have started standing up during the last administration and impeached our leader for his lies and scare tactics then. He feed all his cronies coffers on the backs of our hard working country and our fine military service people. He used scare tactics the like I have never seen before. We bowed down and surrendered our rights without even asking questions. Now we're jumping on the new administration for trying to find a better way, but we ignore what put us here to begin with..... It's hard to blame the farmer for the pile of horse manure, when the former leader brought the horse into the barn to begin with...

Good political cartoon.

Same 'ol crap,...just from a different salesman. Same 'ol bottle with the same 'ol content,...only the label has been changed to fool the public.

Do you really know what propaganda is? I define it as anything from absolute lies to absolute truth that is used to further one's agenda.

Now you have tried to use that little story that was written some time ago from the sound of it and since you are trying to further your agenda I would say that that quote is pure propaganda.

How do you define propaganda?
