Atrios links to the priceless Daily Show bit on GOP talking points from last week, which is now up at the Comedy Central website. If you are able to view streaming video, it is a must see.

Yes, Jon Stewart is not the first person to recognize the fact that the GOP is frighteningly univocal not only in its message but in the very words that all (and I mean all, from Frist to Limbaugh, from Gillespie to Hastert to Hume) of its representatives use. But the skill with which this bit is put together, the stunning effect of having these phrases repeated over and over, from person to person and forum to forum, uncovers the well-orchestrated propaganda for what it is quite vividly.

A couple of choice quotes:

But how will I absorb a talking point, like "Kerry and Edwards are out of the mainstream," unless I get it jack-hammered into my skull? That's where television lends a hand.

and

Talking Points. They're true, because they're said a lot.

But go watch it.
