Rawandan Genocide graphic - VS - Sarah Palin graphic


Here is the graphic used to spur the Rawandan genocide, it reads, "What shall we do to complete the social revolution of 1959?":






Here is the graphic Palin used, it reads, "We've diagnosed the problem... Help us prescribe the solution"





These use very similar marketing techniques.

In both cases, they advocate that the viewer to take action, and the only action evident involves a machete or a gun sight.

The Palin camp has sophisticated marketing people who are well aware of the power of manipulation. They are not amateurs. They are preying on weak minds.



Bill Clinton said this about the Rawandan Genocide: "We did not act quickly enough after the killing began". Though we may not be involved in a genocide yet, let's hope we do so now.

2. They don't say, "go kill people", they only intimate it,
Then absolve themselves of responsibility.
