Bullshit is not a lie or a true statement. Bullshit only is used to promote the bullshiters own personal agenda. We see bullshit every day whether it be in political ads of just every day marketing. The selction for the entry is from the 2008 presidential campaign is an example of such bullshit.
The opposing Political group is not even claiming that they are Communist. they know that the average person will know that this is from china and that the "Little Red Book" is a bad symbol. In Dr. Frankfurt's book, he is stressing that Political and large company ads are all bullshit. That politicians all have a reason behind what they bullshit about, whether they notice they are doing it or not. The reason Dr. Frankfurt is stressing it is not to call an end to bullshit but to only make us aware of what bullshit is and when someone is bullshitting us.
