It
goes without saying that Obama supporters do not condone the nastier
genocidal bits of National Socialism, but the Big Lie, described by
Hitler and perfected by Joseph Goebbels, is a familiar leftist tactic.
It is described by its creators below:
The broad masses of a nation...more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. -- Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. -- Joseph Goebbels.(In these quotes Hitler and Goebbels are accusing their enemies -- Jews and Englishmen -- of lying rather than advocating its use; the theory of the Big Lie is thus itself a big lie.)
