Using fear for political gain is nothing new. But the Bush administration has taken the art to a whole new level. In this devastating clip from Countdown, Keith Olbermann cites the top ten occasions that the administration resorted to fear propaganda to help them counter difficult political situations.

The list is astonishing. This video clearly demonstrates the pattern of Bush's media and fear manipulation.

Digg!
