45. Back in Cleveland.....
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/05/20050524-3.html

See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.

http://www.santarosa.edu/~dpeterso/permanenthtml/propaganda/prop_repetition.htm

Repetition: The technique of bombarding the target audience over and over with a simple message until resistance to the message fades away.

Hitler, among others, emphasized the need for repetition in propaganda. "Now the purpose of propaganda is not continually to produce interesting changes for the few blasé little masters, but to convince; that is, to convince the masses. The masses, however, with their inertia, always need a certain time before they are ready even to notice a thing, and they will lend their memories only to the thousand fold repetition of the most simple ideas." (Hitler, A. Mein Kampf. New York: Reynal and Hitchcock, 1939, p. 239)



In the Cleveland Ohio speech on Monday March 20, the word terror or terrorist was used 53 times.
