Wordsmiths

David Codrea looks at the bozos at Newsweek, and how they're bleating about things:

They have a meme to promulgate, and they dive into it like the skilled propagandists they are, evoking imagery from "Nazi garb" to "white robes" as a reaction to "the nation's first African-American president," and weaving all of that into the latest smear, that the upcoming Second Amendment March is being held to commemorate the Oklahoma City bombing or some such.

This brought to mind something that I've thought about for a long time (and seen in practice).

These people are propogandists; they have their world-view and they're using their wordsmithery to convince you.

No, they're not wordsmiths the caliber of Twain .... or Hemmingway ..... or even Mencken. They're more like Goebbels ...... mean and petty, but very, very effective.
