If you can't just SAY your message, you know your message is one people don't want to hear. Shouldn't that tell you something? Dopes.
Lakoff in a nutshell, "How can we fool them into voting democrat?"
Lakoffs advice to dems...LIE!
Is he the leftist Karl Rove from a parallel dimension? I think I saw that Star Trek episode.
Well now. After decades of deconstructing the language to further a political agenda, liberals have now found themselves face-to-face with a linguistic "construct" they can't quite dig themselves out of. Indeed, it appears that most human beings believe that the word "life" doesn't really have much to do with starving disabled people in public and lopping the heads off the unborn.
What to do?
They're sheeple .. Hillary has done well in convincing 10-15% of the public that she is "moderate" and slightly to the right. After all the junk and trash this woman has said in the past - it just all flew out the window.
However .. we at FR are not going to allow the public to forget what she said in the past.
Politicians lie?
Surely you jest.
(And that goes for both sides, but just the demonicrats.)
This is very funny and well-written. I'll have to pay attention to this writer in the future.
What this over-rated bloat is saying about 'framing' is nothing more than 'defining the issues.'
The basic idea is valid but it is nothing new, and nothing that politicians haven't been doing reasonably deliberately since time began.
Indeed. And Democrats have been doing it, too.
Only now are they sufficiently worried to consult an academic nihilist to see if they can do better.
Absolutely. We have to be relentless in reminding voters that this woman is and has always been a far left socialist. She wrote her Wellesley College Senior thesis on Saul Alinsky!........and has been following his principles ever since. I should know. I graduated from Wellesley College.

How many times can they keep repackaging Marxism until NOBODY takes it seriously anymore.
That's exactly it. I mean, how utterly ridiculous can it get when they start talking about taxes as "civilization utility fees?!!" Next thing you know, they'll call the IRS "The Societal Participation Club."
With Howard Dean at the helm, the Dems appear to use insults as means of trying to win voters.
I actually like the "Mommycrats" and "Daddycans" analogy.
it seems to me that if a message MUST be deliviered in some kind of slick packaging, one can assume the orator believes there is either something wrong with the message or something wrong with the intended audience.
either way, by taking up with "framing" the Democrats have delivered themselves up, bound and gagged and helpless, for evisceration in the next election cycle.
Idiots.
I think the problem has been that the 'rats are prevented from massaging their message by the hardcore leftists and death-culture radicals who rule the candidate selection process.
when they lie down with dogs...
I like it! Sort of captures their essence...
