The people at the protest march last weekend are an example of brainwashing. The organizers are the manipulators.
It is usually the people that are brainwashed by the manipulating politicians, except for Al Gore.
Al Gore is an example of a brainwashed politician.
George Soros is an example of a manipulating force behind politicians.

All of us try to influence others--one way or another. Manipulation is usually considered negatively--and ofen is. But at the same time, it can be positive. To take a simplistic example, a sports coachoftnen use psychology to "pump up" his team to pudt forth their best effort.
Brainwashing--or indoctrination--is an entirely different matter. A manipulator--whatever his/her intentions--does no more than try to influence the choices others make. Brainwashing is a process of taking the power of choice away from the individual--of controlling their thought s and behavior so that they have no power of choice.
(And, to my way of thinking, is the worst crime imaginable. Even a filthy rapist leaves his victim the power to resent and resist, at least in her own mind)

Everyone is Brainwashed.
We for example - are brainwashed to believe that giving 2 percent of the worlds population all the money and opportunities - and jumping in a tank and defending this idea is a brilliant way to go..

Brainwashing is to instill wrong beliefs and ideas, whereas
manipulating is a temporary thing , the person is bound to realize later that he was manipulated as in fooled to do something.

a brainwashed individual only sees the solution given to him by his appointed leader .Any other opinion is seen as unpatriotic .- a manipulated individual is unknowingly led to believe something which is not true . They may feel violated when all facts are presented to them at a later date and vote for democrats

I'm not going to get too technical but brainwashing is making somebody believe what you want them to believe by using brute force. Manipulation is subtle and not too obvious.

Manipulating is the tactic, brainwashing is the result.

you brainwash someone for a purpose. like making him dislike or hate something, often use on negative issues. close to propaganda. for manipulating, its like controlling. when brainwashed, he/she can still judge with his own views whereas manipulated, he/she will be forced to do things.
