Our second blogging assignment this week is to talk about our topic for the analysis paper on propaganda. I'm choosing to do my analysis paper on Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention, for two reasons. One, because I'm sure everyone expects me to do it on Obama's speech, since I am voting for him and all. Second, because I think Sarah Palin and the Republicans use more propaganda and emotional appeals than Democrats do. That's part of why the Republicans keep getting elected to the presidency over and over again - they're better at appealing to people's emotions than Democrats are, even if (I believe) Democrats are better at the actual job.
Also, even though I really, really can't stand Sarah Palin, I admire her oratory skills and she honestly does give a good speech.
Here is my citation for the analysis paper.
"Sarah Palin RNC Convention Speech." The Huffington Post. 3 Sept. 2008. 17 Sept. 2008
