TRACKING AGIT-PROP

UPDATE: INSTAHACK linked to this.

Wingnuts are again passng around the BS that modern liberals are mimicking some propaganda used by the Japanese in World War II. Here's the 3 Japanese points (from wingnut site Strategy Page):

1 Your President (Franklin D Roosevelt) is lying to you.
2 This war is illegal.
3 You cannot win the war.

According to Strategy Page, our troops in Iraq are now passing this around - "But recently, the troops have been passing around an interesting discovery. Namely, that the Japanese psychological warfare ..."

Uncle Jimbo, a moron at BlackFive, linked to this and added to the insanity: "Both the media and the Democratic leadership have been relentlessly hammering this message for years and their efforts have borne the current 67% disapproval of the war. "

I recall coming across this on AOL some time ago and thanks to Google, I found a column on WorldNut from May 3, 2007 by Janet Folger. Folger claimed that these 3 items "are the Democrat talking points. "

There was an earlier post on MyCateHatesYou on March 19, 2007, but no link is given in the post.
