Now, now Gobbles... Don't you go stealing the Hipster's thunder. Wiki does clearly attribute two possible sources of this phenomenom to YOU:
--- Quote ---Use of the expression by Goebbels
Later, Joseph Goebbels put forth a slightly different theory which has come to be more commonly associated with the expression big lie. Goebbels wrote the following paragraph in an article dated 12 January 1941, 16 years after Hitler's first use of the phrase big lie, entitled "Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik," translated "From Churchill's Lie Factory." It was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.
That is of course rather painful for those involved. One should not as a rule reveal one's secrets, since one does not know if and when one may need them again. The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.[1]
Attributed to Goebbels
There is an uncited rumor to the effect that Goebbels also offered up his version of the big lie technique without attributing it to either Jewish or Allied propaganda. That uncited quote is the most wide-spread attribution of the big lie, and it is usually given in a context where the implication is that the propaganda technique was invented by Goebbels, who was the propaganda minister for the Third Reich.

Ursus:
"The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:[2]
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[3]"

Well, Joe did always like the Helen Keller parable... I suppose he saw it as a real metaphor for the "miracles" he wrought with the kids who came to Hyde. Whereas Helen was handicapped by the lack of sight and hearing, we kids were handicapped by bloated reliance on superficial values and bad attitudes and moral lack (speak for yourself, Joe). The star of his show back then was, of course, his biggest so-called miracle: Michelle C. (who apparently experienced extreme difficulty in translating her success at Hyde into real-life)...
