2.  ‘I’d Rather Fight Them Over There Than Here’

Bush and company concocted this line and broadcasted it in order to lay snares for the unwary. They intended to trap people’s minds and capture them. They intended to enslave people to false ideas so that they could get away with their agenda and their dirty work.


Them? Them? Who is this “them” to be fought? The power of this kind of propaganda lies also in its vagueness. The listener can choose any group he fears, or any group he hates, or any group he dislikes, or any group he imagines is a threat, or any group of which he is suspicious.

This “fight them” is, in part, an appeal to the listener’s aggressiveness, hatred, fear, vengeance, suspicions, and violence. It appeals to the worst in people.

This choice of “there vs. here” assumes that there must be a fight. It assumes that war is necessary. This language trick is known as a “false choice.”

Our leaders are wicked deceivers when they resort to this kind of sloganeering, and they resort to it far too often.”
