Politicians, Journalists Clueless or Propagandists?



Massachusetts Governor and Obama BFF Deval Patrick, once said, "I am not a politician."


Edward F. Davis, Boston MA Police Commissioner wants to know why?


Thomas Menino, Mayor of Boston MA

One perspective seldom mentioned is that the politicians are active or passive participants in promoting propaganda. The Communists used to call people like that "useful idiots." Do any elected officials meet that definition?

“I want to know why,” Davis told the Herald yesterday. “I truly want to know to what end someone would kill two women and a little boy. I understand the theory behind terror, but they didn’t really terrorize us.”
[. . .]
“It’s certainly helpful from my end of the business to understand the who, what, when, where and why of the whole thing,” Davis said. “We need to drill down into this, into excruciating detail, to find out who did what so that we can prevent them. The more we know about them, the better off we are.”

[From article]
“Politicians, the media and law enforcement routinely pretend not to notice that there’s a jihad underway,” historian Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum told me yesterday. “Although cowardice or political correctness sometimes play a role in this, the more important reasons are a wish neither to upset Muslims nor to have to re-order society.”
