Having the 10 year anniversary on NFL opening day seems to have amped up the Leni Riefenstahl

[villager]

2. Oh Jeez, at the Ravens' game they unfurled an American

flag that covered the entire field. Leni Riefenstahl had nothing on these guys when it comes to promoting an agenda.

8. MLB seems to be one-upping the NFL. The Angels - Yankees game gave away mini flags.

:eyes:

9. I'd have said "Thanks, but no thanks." The last thing I need is another

mini Made in China American flag. LOL

11. Yes - as David Cross pointed out that's the irony of it all.

:rofl:

4. Sadly, she was quite effective. Modern propaganda often is.

Alas.

5. I'm a fool, but I think of her as an artist....

:crazy:

7. I think of her as an artist that couldn't accept the fact that she helped the Third Reich

[devilgrrl]

6. And indifferent to elevating that subject.

eom

10. she tried to atone before she died but her work were never accepted
