>>Why Do We Americans Submit to This?

>>Newcomb Publishers (Tel: 703-893-7302),
>>1997, 202 pages, paperback, $20.00.
>>
>>
>>An Example of Propaganda
>>
>> The "mean-spirited" way (to use a favorite
>>word of the left) that the mass media maligned
>>Pat Buchanan, all the while accusing him of
>>being cruel beyond belief, provides a perfect
>>example of how propaganda can be used by the
>>Establishment against its enemies. Accusations
>>against Buchanan, as Huck notes in a piece that
>>originally appeared in 1996, included such
>>charges as his being an "extremist," a
>>"populist," a member of the "radical right,"
>>and even "insane." Why, he was no doubt a
>>"racist," "bigot," "misogynist," "wimp,"
>>"homophobe" and "xenophobe," as well as
>>"anti-Semitic," screamed critics. To this were
>>added epithets such as "protectionist,"
>>"isolationist," and the all-inclusive
>>"irresponsible."
>> Of course, in wielding the broad brush
>>to tar him, hypocrisy is hardly an obstacle.
>>As Dr. Huck explains:
>>
>> For at least one generation, more
>> likely two, the professional politi-
>> cians have been scientifically slicing
>> and dicing the American electorate
>> into handily manipulable voting
>> blocs. Now, that's "divisive!" Every
>> line of cleavage has been tried, and
>> most have been exploitable. So we
>> have been set against each other,
>> male-female, black-white, rich-poor,
>> old-young, North-South, East-West,
>> white-collar against blue-collar --
>> just on and on. The game is to pro-
>> vide members of each bloc with a
>> highly enhanced sense of grievance
>> against everybody else, and the de-
>> lusion that their only friends in the
>> world are the politicians. Alas, it
>> works.
>> Along comes a candidate [Mr.
>> Buchanan] whose message can over-
>> ride these carefully cultivated divi-
>> sions, and the professionals arise
>> as one man and brand him as
>> "divisive"!
