Liberals Learn From Tokyo Rose


Tokyo Rose was part of the media propaganda machine of the Japanese used against American troops in the Pacific. The end in mind of the propaganda was to demoralize the American military via radio broadcasts.

Here is David Horowitz's take on the Ghost of Tokyo Rose:

Here's an item that's been traveling around the web:

Anyone who remembers anything about World War II or has studied anything about World War II will understand and remember that during World War II, the Japanese developed a way to demoralize the American forces. The Japanese psychological warfare experts developed a message they felt would work.

They gave their psychological warfare script to their famous broadcaster "Tokyo Rose" and every day she would broadcast this same message packaged in different ways, hoping it would have a negative impact on American GI's morale.

What was that demoralizing message? It had three main points:

1. Your President is lying to you.
2. This war is illegal.
3. You cannot win the war.

I sense that Horowitz's point is relative to the propaganda campaign by leftists within our nation, in particular the treasonous publications of the New York Times. The American MSM is pulling a Tokyo Rose!
