The Big Lie

The Big Lie gets blamed onto the Nazi propaganda machine. Of course it has been used many times before and since. Bush and his handlers know a lot about that.

When they give sources they are checkable and that much more likely to be right.

QUOTE
Big Lie is a propaganda technique in which the lie is so complex that the public will either dismiss it as impossible or choose not to believe it out of willful ignorance. It was defined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf as a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".
