We were graced with a new Bushism on Tuesday this week but it seems to have conveniently slipped under the radar.

President Bush gave a talk at the Athena Performing Arts Center at Greece Athena Middle and High School Tuesday, May 24, 2005 in Rochester, NY. Bush traveled to Rochester, trying to win support for his proposed overhaul of the Social Security system.

About half way through the event Bush came out with this pearler.

"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."

Don't believe it? Click here to go to the White House's own website and read the transcript. You can also watch the entire video of the speech. The Bushism is 22 minutes 50 seconds in.

It was also picked up in an op-ed by the Washington Post.

This reminded us of another famous quote which is similar to Bush's.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

Who said that?

Joseph Goebbels, Hiter's Nazi Propaganda Minister.

Nothing to worry about. Go back to sleep. Watch American Idol. zzzzzzzzzzzz

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."You mean like the infamous "I did not have sex with that woman"?[/quote]

Yeah and these two below are a couple of my personal favs:


Topic: Weapons of Mass Destruction

Speaker: Bush, George - President

Date: 9/26/2002

Quote/Claim:
"The Iraqi regime possesses biological and chemical weapons…And according to the British government, the Iraqi regime could launch a biological or chemical attack in as little as 45 minutes.” [Source: White House Web site]"

Fact:
"Iraq did not have a large, ongoing, centrally controlled chemical weapons program after 1991. Information found to date suggests that Iraq's large-scale capability to develop, produce, and fill new CW munitions was reduced - if not entirely destroyed - during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Fox, 13 years of UN sanctions and UN inspections.” - Bush Administration Weapons Inspector David Kay, 10/2/03"
------------------------------------
Topic: Iraq - Al Qaeda Links

Speaker: Bush, George - President

Date: 9/23/2003

Quote/Claim:
"The regime of Saddam Hussein cultivated ties to terror while it built weapons of mass destruction.” [Source: White House Web site -- Speech to UN]"

Fact:
"CIA interrogators have already elicited from the top Qaeda officials in custody that, before the American-led invasion, Osama bin Laden had rejected entreaties from some of his lieutenants to work jointly with Saddam. - NY Times, 1/15/04

Nearly a year after U.S. and British troops invaded Iraq, no evidence has turned up to verify allegations of Saddam's links with al-Qaida, and several key parts of the administration's case have either proved false or seem increasingly doubtful. Senior U.S. officials now say there never was any evidence that Saddam's secular police state and Osama bin Laden's Islamic terrorism network were in league. - Knight-Ridder, 3/02/04"

"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."

so he has to keep repeating the truth over and over again .... what's wrong with that?
