Cool Charge

Today I found a really cool "charge" (a flash animation which is usually funny, but eventually serious) about Bush here.
For those of you who don't speak Portuguese, I will (try to) translate it:

Theories that help us understand Bush's re-election:
The way the people feel is very simple and elementary. The squeme of interpretation of the world has only two sides: positive and negative, good or evil.
The masses have a modest intelligence. The propaganda should be based on very few arguments, repeated as much as you can.
It is easier to envolve the people in a huge lie than in a small lie.
If the lie has extreme proportions, the people won't even think its possible to create such a profound "fake version, (maybe counterfeit?)" of the truth.
It is the duty of the leader to show that the enemies belong to a singel category: individualizing can cause doubts in the masses about the justice of your right (to harrasse, or do even worst with them).
Now, do you know who wrote those sentences? (Not me, I just translated them)

Adolf Hitler

Amazing, right? (Yes, I am one of the worst translators possible. :-( )
BTW, I been going to Charges.com.br since the very begining in 2000. Great website that always showed the opinion of the great majority of the Brazilian population (we usually don't split the countries opinions :-)

The quote: (well, can be thought about Bush and his re-election...)
Perhaps the biggest disappointments were the ones you expected anyway.
