RNC Channelling Leni Riefenstahl

[davidjhorrell]

I dunno if any of you guys have ever seen "Triumph of the Will", but the parallels between that piece of toxic Nazi trash and the latest RNC video are REALLY disturbing. Black and white, crowd cheers, imposing leader figure... creepy as hell.

1. No substance

There is absolutely no substance of any kind in this video. It is all "I would like to be your President for four more years" and "My opponent is a flip-flopper"

2. No, no content

Just eerily similar styles. The black silhouetted supporters raising their arms up in support of their powerful, unflinching leader?

Someone should cut footage from the two films together; show the similarities.

3. Sucks!

Sorry, but with that war chest, if the best they can come up with is poor audio quality and PowerPoint-esqe slides, I'm not too worried about da-fool.

4. having technical problems, can't view ad... but

I have seen "Triumph of the Will" and have no doubt that the sights and sounds these propagandists stage at their rallies, cast with pre-screened banner-waving automatons, evoke the finest moments of The Third Reich in flavor and substance.
