Joseph Goebbels, 1928.
Revisionism is a primary goal for any seasoned propagandist.
Over the years, Americans have witnessed a number of attempts to rewrite the past, but efforts over the last several years seem to have taken history to new heights of altered states. Now that Al Gore has conceded and George W. Bush has called for unity, another form of revisionism seems to be emerging from the stagnant, post-election air. There are references to moral equivalency. There are distortions of occurrences we are certain that the camera captured in a very different light. Reality is mutating before our weakened eyes.
