Tinfoil Hat time..RW
Talk radio. I have tried to figure out for a long time how they do it. I don't think it's that simple that all the bushbots listen to Rush, Sean & Bill. Anyone that has talked to the wingnuts knows they don't deviate from the message 5 degrees. They repeat the RW message like it is a mantra AND they do NOT question ANYTHING...it's scary. They are all functioning like robots. No personal thought, opinion or analysis exists from any of them.....SOOOOOOOOOO



What are THEY doing that WE are NOT?? The answer is above. NOW, please understand I trust this government about ZERO percent.I stated reading about subliminal message

quote.....
The FCC has no formal rules on "subliminal" advertising.

The FCC has no formal rules on the use of "subliminal perception" techniques. In fact, the Commission appears to have addressed the issue only twice. In 1974, the agency issued a policy statement that the use of "subliminal perception" is "contrary to the public interest." But policy statements are not enforceable rules. Nor would it be appropriate for the Commission to fine a person for failure to comply with a policy statement.

Since 1974, there has been only one instance in which the Commission has received and acted on a "subliminal" message complaint. In that matter, KMEZ(FM) a radio station in Dallas, Texas, was merely "admonished for its repeated transmission of subliminal messages on November 19, 1987" during an anti-smoking program on behalf of the American Cancer Society.

The FCC has no rules on what is, or is not, a "subliminal" message. Consequently, there is no basis for it to determine whether any advertisement contains a "subliminal" message.

2. Sorry. This "subliminal" message idea is silly.
Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 09:26 PM by leeroysphits
It was silly in the eighties when evangelical churches around the nation started a campaign pointing to "Satanic lyrics" and "backward masking" on heavy metal albums as a means of mind control and the notion is just as silly now.

If you want to say that inserting, into a movie, a frame one twenty fourth of a second long showing a picture of a bottle of Coke might make people want to go to the concession stand and buy a Coke fine. Who knows? But issuing complex talking points to several million political "zombies"? That I'm not buying.

But, hey, screw it. Nothing wrong with you thinking outside the box (the very definition of tin foil) when trying to explain the inexplicable.

3. That's where YOU are not thinking
outside the box. No need for a 'complex message'. Do you remember this?

FCC On RATS, Rats, rats...
Dateline: 09/14/00

Democratic US Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and John Breaux of Louisiana have requested that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigate the Republican Party's "RATS" presidential campaign ad.

You've probably heard the "RATS" flap -- the disclosure on Tuesday that a George W. Bush presidential campaign TV ad critical of Vice President Gore displayed the word "RATS" momentarily over the smaller words, "The Gore Prescription Plan -- Bureaucrats Decide."

While Gov. Bush's campaign asserted that "RATS" took up only one out of 900 frames, appeared for only 1/30th of a second, and was accidentally created, the ad was criticized by the Gore campaign as being a deliberately delivered subliminal advertisement

6. I disagree. Complex is a relative term.
Talking points and slogans are complex compared to a picture of a bottle of coke. Instigating a reaction such as thirst is less complex than getting people to consistently vote against their own economic and social interests year after year. Yes?
