Video has frames. 30 of them a second. I believe the text in question was in 1 frame (visible for 1/30th of a second.) I didn't mention before, but it might be interesting to note that the word choosen was 'rats.' I know it somehow morphed out of 'bureaucRATs' in the video, but I can't help thinking 'democRAT.' In fact, all day I've been seeing the rat in democrat. I never saw that word within that word before. I'm not saying there is any proof about subliminal images working, but if they could work, that was a pretty good choice of words I think. Did anyone see it? I'd be curious to know if the voice-over was saying the word democrats when rats was flashed.
Is this really hardball politics? I seem to remember "rats" as Charlie Brown's favorite curse. Or was it Jimmy Cagney's favorite epithet? Maybe it does reflect rePUblican values.
