Americans for Prosperity has said that it did not intentionally send thousands of mailers with false information about voter registration to North Carolina voters last month. “A few minor administrative errors,” organization spokesman Donald Bryson told MSNBC. Yet this type of action has a long history among some conservative political strategists. Longtime journalists James Moore and Wayne Slater described many such deeds in their 2005 book, “Rove Exposed: How Bush’s Brain Fooled America,” and their 2006 book, “The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power.” Instead of false information mailed to potential voters, they chronicled a legacy of successful false information on both mail and hand-delivered fliers to potential voters.

We've all been manipulated, and it's no fun. What's worse is when that manipulation costs us a lot more than we were prepared to give. It's good to know the persuasion tactics we fall for over and over again.
