Catapulting the propaganda - a history lesson
Even Goebbels knew that the lie would not last forever. Rove does not know what he has played with, and he has awakened a sleeping giant.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."


The only thing a liar is afraid of is the truth.

1. Ya Haqq
That's Oh Truth! and is one of the 99 Names of God in the Islamic tradition. And Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". And there's "Know ye the Truth and the Truth shall set you free."

And then Harry Truman on the Republicans "I don't give 'em hell, I tell the truth on them and it feels like hell."
