Public relations slogans

[Guest guest]

The point of public relations slogans like " Support our troops " is

that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good

propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be

against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means,

because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts

your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you

support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about. " :
