"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it"

Regarding the widespread belief among the masses throughout the world who believe that "it" [fill in your scandal, disaster, or other problème du jour here] is all the fault of Bush/of the arrogant superpower, and regarding the inordinate amount of attention we are told we should pay to the negative emotions against Uncle Sam (both by the msm and by foreign leaders), let us remember that today is the birthday of the man who said

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one.

How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think.

I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.
