Does anyone see Bill O’Reilly in the facilitator role? How about your local talk radio show host berating the brave, free-thinking individual who calls in to question the burgeoning police state, the endless Orwellian wars, or the logic behind spending billions of dollars on Homeland Security and weapons when our national budget is already swimming in red ink?

Excerpt:
"First, a facilitator is hired. While his job is supposedly neutral
and non- judgmental, the opposite is actually true. The facilitator
is there to direct the meeting to a preset conclusion.

The facilitator begins by working the crowd to establish a good-guy-
bad-guy scenario. Anyone disagreeing with the facilitator must be
made to appear as the bad guy, with the facilitator appearing as the
good guy. To accomplish this, the facilitator seeks out those who
disagree and makes them look foolish, inept, or aggressive, which
sends a clear message to the rest of the audience that, if they don't
want the same treatment, they must keep quiet. When the opposition
has been identified and alienated, the facilitator becomes the good
guy - a friend - and the agenda and direction of the meeting are
established without the audience ever realizing what has happened."
