Hyperbole, Spin, And Outright Lies

What is it with the Middle East, and Arabs in particular, that makes them describe every event that affects them with hyperbole?

 

Turkish Prime Minister

Earlier in the year, the Turkish Prime Minister was using crazy terms such as 'hooligans', 'foreign (read Israeli) plots' and 'terrorists' to describe opponents to his high handed regime. Now we have the late terrorist leader Yasser Arafat's widow reacting to the faint possibility that he had been poisoned by radioactive Polonium-210 by describing it as "the crime of the century".

Konspiracy Korner

I posted a story on this blog some while ago about Conspiracy Theories on the Web but it appears that I missed one important group out ...... the LaRouche Youth Movement. I say important, because one of their supporters has just won the Democratic nomination for Texas's 22nd Congressional district with 52% of the vote, but has been quickly disowned by Texas Democrats.

Obama ( a member of her own party) because the LaRouche Youth Movement believes that Obama's health care proposals are based on Hitler's and their aim is a eugenic cull of the population, and that the president should be thrown out of office.... hence the call for impeachment.

The movement founded by Lyndon LaRouche, who's stood for President many times, believe that the White House takes orders from the British Empire (run from Buckingham Palace and Threadneedle Street), which also organised two World Wars and the fall of the USSR. They are also passionate about expansion into space, particularly the colonisation of Mars using the power of nuclear fusion as well as various economic policies ...... But the reason their programme isn't being hailed more widely is apparently because America's youth has been enslaved by Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates using (respectively) MySpace and Facebook.

I don't know how I missed em ......
