Example in actions:
H.J.Res. 114; Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002
Though, this is a common technique, it has morphed to another variation. This would be hiding among the crowd as to not stand out for criticism.
3. Card stacking: Card stacking, or selective omission, is one of the seven techniques identified by the IPA, or Institute for Propaganda Analysis. It involves only presenting information that is positive to an idea or proposal and omitting information contrary to it. Card stacking is used in almost all forms of propaganda, and is extremely effective in convincing the public. Although the majority of information presented by the card stacking approach is true, it is dangerous because it omits important information. The best way to deal with card stacking is to get more information. Example of card stacking; Kucinich Articles of Impeachment (crimes of G. W. Bush)
Creating a Secret Propaganda Campaign to Manufacture a False Case for War Against Iraq.
Falsely, Systematically, and with Criminal Intent Conflating the Attacks of September 11, 2001, WithMisrepresentation of Iraq as a Security Threat as Part of Fraudulent Justification for a War ofAggression.
Misleading the American People and Members of Congress to Believe Iraq Possessed Weapons ofMass Destruction, to Manufacture a False Case for War.
Misleading the American People and Members of Congress to Believe Iraq Posed an Imminent Threatto the United States.
Illegally Misspending Funds to Secretly Begin a War of Aggression. Invading Iraq in Violation of the Requirements of HJRes114.
Invading Iraq Absent a Declaration of War.
Invading Iraq, A Sovereign Nation, in Violation of the UN Charter.
Failing to Provide Troops With Body Armor and Vehicle Armor
Falsifying Accounts of US Troop Deaths and Injuries for Political Purposes
Establishment of Permanent U.S. Military Bases in Iraq
Initiating a War Against Iraq for Control of That Nation's Natural Resources
Here, important information is intentionally omitted to further enhance the argument for impeachment. Kucinich failed to include that the President may not have been legally elected which would render the argument for impeachment moot. Though this is somewhat tongue in cheek, it does have some legal merit. Kucinich also lists articles that may have no basis for criminal prosecution but adds them for additional negative generalities.
