Gordon Howie produces another comedy video for his Potemkin blog village. He drafts Brad Morgan to put on Mrs. Howie's black dress and issue his "judgment" on the anonymous PAC postcard sent out attacking South Dakota's GOP House leadership.
The full video is at the bottom of this post... but first, I'd like you to help me figure out the opening image:
Morgan speaks with a copy of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf displayed at his right hand. I was expecting Morgan to proceed with his satirical skewing of the GOP leaders, based on a selective and superficial reading of their voting record, and declare that Reps. Lust, Cronin, and Gosch are as bad as Hitler. Maybe Morgan would contend that the GOP bosses are guilty of a "Big Lie" about being conservatives when in fact they are fascists. Maybe Morgan would go big and accuse the Republicans-In-Name-Only of using Hitler's propaganda tactics of aesthetics over intellect to manipulate the masses.
But Morgan and Howie leave me hanging. Morgan says nothing about the text and image of Hitler at his right hand. It simply sits there in the frame for the first 40 seconds.
Now you tell me: when someone produces propaganda and includes an image of Adolf Hitler and his famous book, what message does that send?
No words can describe what I just saw, except the dude with the dress reminds me of Super Dave Osborne. Google it and compare appearance and speaking style. Hmmm.
Any blog post which requires an "Adoph Hitler" and "Propaganda" tag probably means the content was batsh*t crazy or about World War II. Gordon's video was not about World War II.

The message that is sent is any yutz with a modem can spew anything they want and Floyd R. Turbo lives.
One word-- Idiotic
As South Dakotans we are lucky that a national audience would not have a clue about the subject of this video, otherwise it would end up on Colbert or The Daily Show and we would be the laughing stock of the nation once again.
wow. what can I say. Is the book their favorite reading???
Barry, you just helped me put that video in perspective. What would any outsider or newcomer think of seeing this video? We know Gordon and friends, so we may just give them a pass and think they are stupid. But Jon Stewart looking at this video would be stunned. Any outsider looking at this video would immediately think, "Wow: Nazis in South Dakota!"
Owen, indeed: what other conclusion could an outside observer draw? I don't hold up a book while I speak and say nothing about it unless I'm trying to send the message that I like that book or that it somehow represents my views.
