Modern Political Parallels? Give some examples from today's leaders who have used language to distort reality.

is jumping on the Bush whacking (ha!) but sadly, he is hardly the first nor the last to use
language to distort reality for political power.  Bill Clinton famously parsed the little word
"is" into mincemeat.  Name Nixon rings any bells for anyone?  How about LBJ's fun
little incident called the "Gulf of Tonkin"?
