True or not doesn't matter in the psy-ops wars. Other examples, off the top of my head: Donna Brazile on Bill's "fairy tale" remark; Jesse Jackson, Jr., on Hillary crying in New Hampshire about her hair.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739294723464687824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685673734154732702.post-62147649576409190372008-12-22T19:14:00.000-06:002008-12-22T19:14:00.000-06:00Hi G,It's always good to hear from you.

Interesting thought about the value of the source in the formula, althought it's important to note the idea that Hillary Clinton wanted Obama assassinated was an outright lie that her detractors invented on the basis of her mention of Robert F. Kennedy during an interview with an editorial board. Both the editorial board and RFK, Jr. supported Clinton against that distortion of the incident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685673734154732702.post-46718524846096555382008-12-22T18:56:00.000-06:002008-12-22T18:56:00.000-06:00"... a popular misunderstanding that the evil of b..."... a popular misunderstanding that the evil of bigotry varies depending on who the victims are. Extrapolating from the Obama team’s responses to human rights violations, on a scale of 1 to 10 the importance of any suggestion of bigotry targeting a straight Christian African-American male ranks as a 10; whereas, easily trivialized bigotry targeting women or gays of any race or religion ranks between a 0 and 1."<BR/><BR/>This is so true, it should be called Bergman's Law.<BR/><BR/>This is, of course, what we saw during the primary and general election campaigns, where any outrage incident, real or imputed, mattered according to its target.<BR/><BR/>Does the formula take into accound the alleged source? Is multiplication involved? E.g., "Jesse Jackson wants to cut off Obama's nuts" equals 10 (victim points) times 1 (source points), but "Hillary wants Obama assassinated" equals 10 times 10? Or are they both just 10?<BR/><BR/>Happy holidays.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739294723464687824noreply@blogger.com
