 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther

 The Rhetoric of Terrorism, book excerpts assembled by Paul Wolf, 12/13/03
For example, propaganda in a democracy stems from many different sources and is normally a form of fairly harmless persuasion; that is, it attempts to get people to do things -- to vote a party ticket or to buy a particular brand of soap chips or detergent of their own free will.
