The Insanity of Anti-Iran Propaganda

 

A new ad released by the Mitt Romney campaign takes a quote from Barack Obama about the collectivism of progress and success so out of context
as to be laughable. This morning's Up With Chris does an excellent job setting the record straight (watch here):
The same out-of-context, demonization propaganda is now in full swing with regard to the recent tragic terrorist bombing in the coastal Bulgarian town of Burgas that targeted Israeli tourists. The difference is that such propaganda, unlike that of the U.S. presidential mudslinging, is a matter of life and death and establishes disgusting falsehoods as facts that race around the internet and the world, forever defining the narrative

 

, obscuring the truth

 

, and perpetuating pervasive mythologies

 

that permeate our already skewed discourse on the issues of Iran, Israel, U.S. foreign policy and, now, the Burgas bus bombing.
