Seriously surreal

 
“If you tell a lie big enough & keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

John Boehner announced that he's appointing a 4th committee to investigate Planned Parenthood.  

This has gotten seriously surreal.  

Hey, we've been down this road before.  We know the videos that brought down ACORN were spliced & diced to give a false impression.  With these videos, even conservatives acknowledge they were "heavily edited."  Sheez!  The originals were were misleading enough, but the 2nd "enhanced" version includes over-the-top egregious material that's utterly unconnected to Planned Parenthood.

But Carly's big lie now has its first return on investment - she can rightly take a bow for the newest committee.  Expect this to only get bigger, the lie more blatant & blaring.    


Marketing super star Carly has nimbly flicked the conversation from Planned Parenthood "getting away" with illegal practices.  She knows that arguing that point is satisfying but futile - all the verifiable footage shows otherwise, reveals the women's health organization has done everything within the law.  So, she presents a different, emotionally compelling reason to topple the loathed group - its practices are an affront to our national character.  

As a fellow marketing professional, gotta give kudos to her deft touch - no one can assail that as false & it makes her argument deeply personal, from legalities to US, our character.  Carly earns her 5-star reputation for sales savvy, taking a losing argument & transforming into an much stronger selling point.  She's good. Not honest, but good.


 

The situation continues to get more Dali-esque every day, as the assault on Planned Parenthood goes way past GOP magical thinking to seriously surreal.  And getting more so.
