Ok, it does sound absurd, but you have to admit that just because something sounds bizarre doesn't make it untrue, right? There has to be better reason for people not to believe in this other than because he's a nutter, right?Pandora wrote:told you he was a nutterSniper wrote:The claim is that this new treaty in Copenhagen is disguised as a "save the earth" treaty but in reality it's a "give the UN ultimate power and control" leading to the UN becoming the next world power and government in one way or another.
For something this absurd, I'd like to see some *very* convincing evidence. And if it comes from someone who has been caught lying several times already, and who might have - in my humble psychologigist's opinion - a personality disorder, I am very, very skeptical. Is there any evidence to back that up?
Re:
No no, you're right on. I'm looking for convincing evidence, either way, myself. I was hoping someone here had already went down this path and could've provided some.

Re:
As far as I can tell, Karl Rove didn't say that. It looks like someone took a Hitler quote, slightly modified it, and attributed it to Karl Rove. Which ever so perfectly illustrates the principle -- someone lied to you about the source of the quote, and you believed it.tunnelcat wrote:This apropos little statement by none other than Carl Rove...
"Tell a lie long enough and loud enough and it becomes the truth"
Corollary: fact-check and you'll make it harder for people to make lies into truth.

Hitler spoke of it in Mein Kampf, but not in those words. Goebbels, too, said something similar. But it was actually a US intelligence assessment of Hitler that seems to be closest:
The line never seems to appear in conjunction with Stalin, at least as far as I can tell.people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it

You guys are right. I've seen references to Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and Karl Rove concerning this statement, so it's got murky origins. Funny how things get lost in history. Sorry about that. But it seems to be an appropriate statement when it concerns a general population and government, political or corporate propaganda methods used to sway people's opinions.

Ah, I thought you were continuing the Joke. Most often I have seen it attributed to Vladimir Lenin, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth", but with that quote, any name is fitting.Lothar wrote:Actually it looks even more interesting than that:Gooberman wrote:Looks like your mixing your Hitler and your Stalin.
