Neatly wrapped propaganda

Warning: Spoilers
Mark Levin does a wonderful job trying to gain sympathy from the audience. It would be a rational approach to something this accusatory. After all, any junior trial lawyer know the best way to win over the jury is to placate them through empathy.

Levin attacks the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. A book that has been debunked numerous times simply based on evidence of its appearance in France years before Russia. Some names were changed and the book basically boils down to an elaborate rehashing of Dialogues in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. That's all that there really has to be said about the book.

Instead, Levin avoids simple facts like the ones above in order to beg for tears about the suffering of his people. He assumes that every single person can be summed up by labels and groups. As if every Muslim can be represented by Kalid Muhammed or every Israeli can be represented by Sharone. Levin chooses the Disney principle in presenting his defense of his people.

Why he tries to connect Muslim hatred and Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ is beyond me. The film reaches far for the most subtle of messages: Support the war. Levin even has the audacity to present man-on-the-street interviews as fact. Uneducated minority populations in urban landscapes hardly count as the pulse of America, Mr. Levin.

Does Levin even ask why this one book manages to "get around?" Never. That seems like a larger conspiracy than its authenticity. Anybody should check out the protocols just for some disturbing reading. Even if there isn't any fleet of boogie men planning the "goim's" demise, there is certainly a lot happening today that was written in the book. Are we then supposed to ignore everything because the book's origins are in question, Mr. Levin?

Keep in mind that there is a growing contingent of historians putting two and two together. A lot of folks are realizing that 911 was an inside job perpetrated by our own government. They had the means, plans, and most importantly the motive. This trumps any ideology. You see, those in power only use race and religion to divide us. 911 now represents a meme. That one phrase means so much to every American. Our own government created that meme. It siphons off of our fear and need for comfort. Think about the next time some clown dares to say that terrorists hate us because of our freedom. What BS! First tell me which freedoms that they hate. Funny, every freedom that I can think of is under attack, but not from terrorists. What moron would train hundreds of men, bankroll a huge web of supplies, engineer intricate attacks, and provoke the wrath of the mightiest nation on the planet--just because they hate our freedom? Doesn't make sense.

Mr. Levin, this is far more compelling than whatever you tried to pass off as a documentary. My guess is that you were trying to connect a distant memory with current events.
