1984 (the book) has finally arrived! In this great book Orwell unveiled the Ministry of Truth which basically said that up was down when it suited Big Brother. The tactic comes originally from Goebels: If facts are inconvenient to you come out strongly with exactly the opposite (i.e. the Big Lie) and keep repeating it until people are completely flummoxed. Karl Rove and now apparently M$ are presently perfecting this tactic....

Nice analogy. For those who don't know, Goebels was the Nazi propaganda mastermind.
