Propaganda is political communication designed to bypass our process of reason.
NLP expands on the 'art' of propaganda. It moves the unconscious mind, towards a pre-determined objective, bypassing our process of reasoning. It is communication designed to drive the psyche by priming - or anchoring it to a specific desire.

"The Choice" 2004 attack ad - Bush Jr. Campaign
[text] When it’s finally quiet, here’s the choice. President Bush and his Congressional allies: Strong leadership to protect America, tax relief, common sense healthcare, strengthen and protect social security.
John Kerry and his liberal allies: Higher taxes, voting to tax social security benefits, government run health care, a record of slashing intelligence, and reckless defense cuts. Alone in the booth, why take the risk?

George Lakoff, professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley and one of America's foremost linguists, credits NLP methods specifically as being responsible for significant Republican voter influence and perception modification in the 1990's, citing three instances in his books.

It's no coincidence that the most psychologically effective ad that the Bush campaign used in 2004 wasn't the wolf ad (that was #2) but one that had two specific NLP-based posthypnotic suggestions embedded into it, telling people that "in the quiet" and "when you're alone in the voting booth" that they "can't take the risk" of voting for Kerry. It looked like a simple check-list ad, but was saved for the last minute and played so heavily because it was so psychologically sophisticated and potent."
A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows a remarkable turnaround in 17 battleground states where polls and historic trends indicate the race will be close, and where the Bush campaign has aired TV ads - " The Choice." Those ads say Bush has provided "steady leadership in times of change" while portraying Kerry as a tax-hiking, flip-flopping liberal.
The ads have been one factor in wiping away an inflated lead Kerry held in those states. In a survey taken in mid-February, Kerry led Bush by 28 percentage points in those states, 63% to 35%. Now Bush leads Kerry in them by six points, 51% to 45%.
In contrast, there has been much less volatility in states where the ads haven’t aired.

Willie Horton 1988 Attack Ad - Bush Sr. Campaign
"The Willie Horton ads, for example, used an old NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) technique of "Anchoring via Submodalities," linking Dukakis, at an unconscious level in the viewer’s mind, to Willie Horton by the use of color versus black-and-white footage, and background sound. After a few exposures to these psy-ops ads, people would 'feel' Willie Horton when they 'saw' Dukakis."

The ad relies on an optical illusion called an afterimage effect.
