Authors, sign in!Matthew Arnold, a famous 19th century literary critic, is credited with saying, "If you say something three times, then it's true."
Consider George W. Bush quotes asserting the existence of Iraq's WMD program, and its imminent threat to the United States' homeland security:
- "...because deterrence may not succeed ... U.S. military forces and appropriate civilian agencies must have the capability to defend against WMD-armed adversaries, including in appropriate cases through pre-emptive measures" (The National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction, December 2002)
- "If the Iraqi regime is able to produce, buy, or steal an amount of highly enriched uranium a little larger than a single softball, it could have a nuclear weapon in less than a year." (President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat, October 7, 2002)
- "We will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes and terrorists to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." (The National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction, December 2002)
Now, these quotes from Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin at the Republican National Convention and on the stump used to to showcase her commitment to putting an end to pork-barrel spending:
- "I told the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,' for that Bridge to Nowhere." (Republican National Convention, September 3, 2008)
- "I told congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere up in Alaska." (Lebanon, Ohio, September 9, 2008)
- "In fact, I told Congress, 'thanks but no thanks' on that bridge to nowhere." (Dayton, Ohio, September 10, 2008)
So it must be true.
