Has anyone here ever heard of a "Whisper Campaign"? It's another favorite of Karl Rove, wherein rumors are casually started in several locations, media, political rallies, etc., at once and repeated until they become something "everyone knows". It's a more subtle twist on the "big lie". He made his name playing out this tactic in Texas back in the 1970s. He successfully employed this tactic against John McCain in the Republican Primaries with the "black love child" campaign.
Think; "Some people say......"
All of the sudden every soldier that has ever served in Afghanistan knows all about Bowe Bergdahl, and he is the biggest rat since Benedict Arnold.............
Right.
Veterans, you know the military rumor mill and what a pain in the ass it can be. Are you buying all of this?
