Warning: Hillary Clinton’s world view may have been affected by Noam Chomsky!

[Larry Ogg]

I heard this on the local fox news channel in Phoenix last night. Fox News reporter Ron Hoon, in a sense that might make people concerned, said that “Hillary Clinton is known to have met with Noam Chomsky”… OMG! The short conversation went along with out giving any specific date of this alleged and infamous encounter with the “well known liberal extremist” , but finished with how she grew up with the anti war protesting, pot smoking, hippy sixty’s generation. And I’m not to sure, (as my hair was standing strait up from how this revelation was presented), but he said something too the effect, “that maybe we shouldn’t be too concerned, because that was however, the way people acted in those days”. Unless of course you were a god fearing Republican. They also mentioned that, “she had met with civil rights leader Martin Luther King”, I guess to make things fair and balanced, hmm..?

OK, believe I am not in any way a fox news fan, in fact I could loath nothing worse than fox news, except of course the BFEE… But my life long diehard Democratic wife that votes Democrat no matter what, is a fox news fan, therefore I am condemned to suffer and listen to the total bullshit they spew too their clueless base. The point is, how many Conservative Republicans know who, or have ever heard of the “LIBERAL EXTREMIST” Noam Chomsky?

I could be wrong, but this seems to me as subtle political propaganda. A second point: From the perspective of the mis / uninformed and propagandized conservative base. Oh My God, the LIBERAL EXTREMIST NOAM CHOMSKY…” Honey, who’s Noam Chomsky? Well I don’t know dear… they said, “He was a OMG, A LIBERAL EXTREMIST..!” Oh dear, isn’t that like a communist? Sure sounds like it honey! So Hillary Clinton has been consorting with commy fascist liberal extremist? Yup that’s what it sounds like to me. , we better get out and support our favorite warmongering Christian Republican candidates that will save us from those RADICAL EXTREMIST Evil Muslims… God save us all, if someone the likes of Hillary wins the election, they might try and stop the war!

Ok back in my world, the object of this post is not about Hillary or Noam Chomsky, its about the subtle political propaganda, brain washing and mind manipulating implants that the right wing mainstream media is doing to those who are the least informed about anything i.e. the right wing base, and yes, people like my diehard Democrat wife... I see an effort to totally subjugate liberal philosophy by putting ideas in people’s minds in a subtle way that would discourage people from listening to Democratic and Liberal points of view… Along with censoring and distorting the truth about what is really going on in the world of which I won’t go into. Just thought I would put this out there and see if anyone else notices how bad the deception is and how it is being played…

1. The problem is that it doesn't have to be an actual Conspiracy.

All they have to do is have an UN-STATED understanding that new hires will exhibit a certain mind-set and, like "viral" magic, every position in the organization from file-clerk to editors and anchors and everything down to the subtlest most specific word-choices and even syntax in everything from emails to tonight's lead story, supports and promotes that mind-set. If anyone doubts this is happening, just look at NPR.

Then, for those with more of a criminal bent, there's always these huge database companies that one could subscribe to, to weed out the "wrong" kinds of activists and others who "don't fit the corporate model".

If "we" don't get some kind of control over the Military Industrial Complex, and War Profiteers such as Haliburton and Blackwater, just you wait and see who gets CIVILIAN hiring preference in almost any job as BushCo's War on Terror proceeds from Iraq and beyond.

4. One thing for sure, the news people know the shallowness of their base and play it to the hilt

to promote and plant specific political views, while acting like innocent unbiased little simpletons them selves. It is propaganda in Trojan horse and fox is a master at it…

7. While justifying anything and everything in the name of something

called "the Greater Good", at least on the fact of it anyway, though, truth be known, their moral rationalizations have more to do with self-interest than anything else.

2. Thanks, I have been screaming about this

for years. Somehow we have to learn to better
respond and react. This "remaining above the
fray" and not stooping to their level just aint
working.

5. I know the corporately owned main steam media is way out of control

and it really takes a keen eye to see what their doing. But I fear little will be done until their brought before a congressional committee on illegal right wing propaganda charges. I wish people would be screaming about taking back the media as much as impeachment. Because with media propaganda being what it is and immune from telling truth the people won’t hear and see what’s going on. Media reform should be right at the top of things to fix, but there is little mention of it in the Media. As my son would say, "Yea like da"!

3. I usually point out that West Point invited Noam to speak. He's the

father of modern linguistics, for Pete's sake.

6. I like to imagine what the world would be like if people like Chomsky had a voice

in the mainstream media hear in the U.S.
