The seven propaganda devices include:
* Name calling giving something a bad label to make the audience
reject it without examining the evidence;
* Glittering generalities the opposite of name calling;
* Card stacking the selective use of facts and half-truths;
* Bandwagon appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to follow the
crowd;
* Plain folks an attempt to convince an audience that they, and their
ideas, are of the people;
* Transfer carries over the authority, sanction and prestige of
something we respect or dispute to something the speaker would want us
to accept; and
* Testimonials involving a respected (or disrespected) person
endorsing or rejecting an idea or person.
