Propaganda on DU? It's more likely than you think
Advertisements [?]
MoveOn.org Ad highly unpopular with the American people...including a majority of Liberals...

Really? Let's hear those percentages:

Self-identified liberals were evenly divided—45% approve and 39% disapprove

I never was all that good at math, but even I can see that the real majority here is the 45% that approved of the ad. This was pointed out to the poster quite a while ago, but curiously, he has neglected to correct the information, or even to respond to the allegations.

And I hope he realizes his error, because I would hate to think that this was all...oh, you know-deliberate. I'd hate to think that someone who spends so much time on this board would feel free to just lie to his fellow DUers with impunity. And if it goes unchallenged, he will point to his lies again and again and again as "proof" of his erroneous assertions. The point of contention itself is a minor matter, but the blatant way it's been put out there is repulsive. Propagandists do our community a grave disservice when they abuse our trust.

I call bullshit.
