No political or other organisation can protect anyone. No government on this planet can lay claims of protecting their citizens from deliberate and well-planned intentions by others to commit damage.
If this blatant propaganda, based on an unoriginal concept of fear among a population, is the level of conduct of political parties within the US - there is much to learn or little hope.
Only my  - any political party in any nation who attemts to gain promotional advantage by lying and deceit, needs to face criminal prosecution. But - it's not a perfect world, is it?

Its nothing new. This is the same shit Hitler did to gain control. And I know how much the GOP lackeys hate to have their darling compared to Hitler, but Bush (and the whole GOP, for that matter) is so similar to Hitler in so many ways I am surprised we havent yet uncovered proof that they were joined at the hip.
