Indeed it is to question to what extend social warfare, in particular on the Jews, is caused by psychological porjections of those who wage war. This link is necessary. More over, it is very closed to Friedrich Nietzsche. In case of doubt it is to decide for freedom of speech and freedom of research and science. That somebody does not like those questions is no reason to remove any link.

[edit] Rush Limbaugh as epitome

A good case could be made for Rush Limbaugh being a textbook case of this syndrome.

"Another, and an ironic, example is if Alice were to say, "Bob seems to project his feelings onto me." "

What does this mean? Given the definition as I understand it this doesn't make sense to me.

[edit] The source from the heretical press

This site is not mainstream (nor accurate), the fact that the author of this article has cited it means that he/she has not done enough research.

The citation is therefore questionable.

[edit] Other meanings

I thought that "projection" in psychology also meant the interpretation of one's own psychological/emotional states as the direct perception of the intrinsic objective properties of an external object or person.

For example when one attributes to some "energies" of a certain object or person what one feels when that external phenomenon is percieved.

One could say that in such a projection, the psychological process is assimilated to a mere sensory/perceptive process.

This type of projection was the norm in primitive cultures, but a surprising number of modern people seem to function trought that same cognitive pattern, particularly when their values system is concerned. For example I recently read the comments of a young women who visited Gandhi's cremation place and interpreted her emotions as the perception of the"energies" of the place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.1.29 (talk) 12:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
