The Subliminal Message thing!!

[Celebration]

Isn't it subversive to desecrate the flag? People have been pointing out the subliminal message in the backdrop of the speech. There *had* to be a reason to lop off two stripes from all the flags. Let's see, very convenient. To review--

Putting this into context, remember the "rats" controversy from the 2000 campaign? Yikes. What else are they trying to do for mind control? New World Order here we come????? I think we need to alert Keith Olbermann. I mean it is pretty bizarre that a pres. can't count and/or decides to drop two of the original 13 states right off the flag.

Here is the RATS thing--

"At first glance, the Republican television commercial on prescription drugs looks like a run-of-the-mill attack advertisement. The announcer starts by lauding George W. Bush's proposal for dealing with prescription drugs, and criticizes the plan being offered by Vice President Al Gore. Fragments of the phrase "bureaucrats decide" — deriding Mr. Gore's proposal — then dance around the screen. Then, if the viewer watches very closely, something else happens. The word "rats," a fragment of the word "bureaucrats," pops up in one frame. And though the image lasts only one-thirtieth of a second, it is in huge white capital letters, larger than any other word on the commercial. The advertisement then declares, "The Gore prescription plan: bureaucrats decide."..

"Almost every advertising professional interviewed said that given the technology by which commercials are assembled frame by frame, it was virtually impossible for a producer not to know the word was there. "There is no way that anything Alex Castellanos does is an accident," said Greg Stevens, a veteran Republican admaker here. Bobby Baker, chief of the office of political programming at the Federal Communications Commission, said that if the word had been deliberately inserted in the commercial that would be "an extraordinary development" and reflect "reckless" behavior. While he said the commission did not prohibit subliminal advertising, Mr. Baker explained that "we have policy statements and public notices that indicate they are inherently intended to be deceptive and might be contrary to the public interest.""
