I am not the first one to think of this - there are two columns over at American Thinker this morning, but the idea of Obama making his acceptance speech at Invesco Field did bring this whole concept to mind. Is David Axelrod the Leni Riefenstahl of our time?
Look at the adoring Obamatrons at a Barry O speech and then look at the youth on tippy-toes in this piece...kind of creeps you out doesn't it? Ummm...doesn't it? Hey! Get back on your feet!
One of the most memorable scenes from "Triumph of the Will" occurs about 3:30 into the introduction - you can see it here - when the shadow of Hitler's plane is seen passing over the town looking like a cross...it comes right after the plane flies past the cathedral at Nuremberg. It is such an incredible and frightening piece of propaganda that it is worth revisiting in light of our new messiah. We truly have created image over substance. I actually credit McCain with doing a good job in responding to that with this ad. I love the "hope and change" connection to 1968! But they have a tough job cut out for them...the Obama "brand" had been created and it is more pervasive than Coca Cola or Marlboro and just about as good for you, especially if taken in large doses.
Rumble on!
