Democrats’ “America Needs a New Direction” Video

Posted on July 14, 2006

The Democrats have posted a new propaganda video to their Campaign Committee website: DCCC.org: New Directions Video

Two items of note within the first 30 seconds or so:

  1. The use of images of soldiers’ flag-draped coffins. I’m fairly certain it’s the left that’s been crying foul over the Republican party’s "war profiteering". I guess when your party’s desparate to take back the government though, they’ll do so by any means necessary. What shame. What hypocrisy.
  2. Weather/satellite images. You’re not serious? I mean, is the implication here that the president is somehow responsible for global climate change? Putting aside the liberal idiots who actually believe that Bush’s past few years in office have been enough to allow him to destroy the earth’s ecosystem. This is completely rhetorical because the answer of course is: Yes, they do believe that. He’s also responsible for the spread of AIDS in Africa, spotty cell phone reception, and the Starbucks lady screwing up my morning latte. Get a clue.

Sidebar: The last frame of the video encourages us to “SIGN UP TO JOIN THE FIGHT FOR A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY TODAY.” We have a democratic majority. We always have a democratic majority, no matter who is in office because both parties are always democratically elected. The correct term is Democrat majority. Know the language.

    While amusing, these tactics are par for the course for the modern Party, comrade, wouldn’t you say? Once again the goal is to invoke the emotional repsonse. Emotions are the most efficient impetus for a rational human to behave irrationally, so when one builds a set of irrational ideals, one must rely on emotion to attract followers.

    Perhaps sooner or later they will cross the line and create a backlash. I eagerly await that time.

    Well said, Marc.

    …when one builds a set of irrational ideals, one must rely on emotion to attract followers.

    I would add to this a healthy dose of stupidity and/or ignorance.

    You right wing buttheads started a war no one needed, and got a bunch of people killed on both sides. It’s you right wingers who are always babbling about the CUlture of Life while you worsip power, the military, and war. Mr. Severin, you are just another knee jerk, anti-intellectual right wing fascist hypocrite, just like President Bonzo!
