Propaganda & The New Anti-Semitism
Jeremiah Haynes

History…is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake
-James Joyce Ulysses
On a recent installment of the Rush Limbaugh talk show, Rush dropped a bomb that signaled a new era in the battle for our minds. In a bought of demonically possessed fury Rush expressed his disdain of the term “Neocon” stating that he wished people would just call the term what it is, a code word for Jews. A little digging reveals that Rush has been subtly pushing this point at least as far back as April 22, 2003, when he posted a commentary on his web site entitled Anti-Semites Use "Neo-Con" Code Word. In this “Blog” Rush states “I'm getting a little tired of these media people speaking in their own code language. A case in point is their use of the term ‘neo-conservative’. Whether they choose to hyphenate the label or not, it's a pejorative code word for ‘Jews’” (Limbaugh 2003). Rush accurately reveals that the media does indeed use subconscious code words (i.e. propaganda), yet fails to mention that they also use reverse psychology as he, a member of the “New Media” does. In fact, it seems that labeling “liberals”*** anti-Semites has become all the rage on talk radio programs such as Sean Hannity and Michael Savage, which have become little more than “freak shows of political pornography.”
