Via Reynolds comes an AdAge post offering unsolicited advice for Sen. Clinton in her struggle against the weird Obama propaganda machine.

The itself advice is extremely silly. But the description of the "Yes We Can" ad is right on target for its use of traditional propaganda techniques:

Aside from utilizing a lot of empty-headed celebrities, it also does a stellar job of using the techniques of propaganda, including: the bandwagon call, the use of beautiful people, euphoria, glittering generalities, intentional vagueness, repetition, slogans, virtue words and gratuitous use of Scarlett Johansson. In other words, it's almost the perfect ad.

Are there really any gratuitous uses of Scarlett Johansson? I think not. Nevertheless, this is of a piece with the Jake Tapper post on the deeply strange habits of the Obama-philes.

Do they think they are supporting a political candidate, or a prophet?
