But yesterday on TomPaine.Com[mon Sense] Ruth Rosen, in her article, "Oliver Stone And The Big Lie," wrote:
The Big Lie, first coined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf, was made famous by Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister for the Third Reich. The idea was simple enough: Tell a whopper (the larger the better) often enough and most people will come to accept it as the truth.Ms. Rosen thinks that Stone, by failing to clarify the facts about who attacked us on September 11, 2001, undercuts the historical value of his film
and reinforces the Biggest Lie of the last five years—still believed by far too many Americans—that in Iraq, we are fighting those who attacked our country.
The people who believe Iraq attacked on 9/11 are probably the same people who voted for uh ... what's that guy's name who is holding our country hostage? Oh, yeah. Bush. That's him.
