Projection: They throw vile epithets at the right, yet when the right simply disagrees, they are labeled racist, obstructionists, etc. The left has taken the argument that “going back to our founding documents” is a racist concept. “Civil discussion” is simply baiting so if/when anyone disagrees, they take the upper hand and think they win any argument. It is as phony as Axelrod AstroTurf.

Framing: setting the boundaries of debate such that the opposition can’t win. Ex.: “you be nice now, you nasty vicious freak.”

... a system called “newspeak” was encouraged. One of the most dreaded words in the arsenal of Newspeak was the most heinous offence according to the Party – that of “thoughtcrime” which was sure to be punished by the Thought police. The slogans of Newspeak are “War is Peace” Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.”
George Orwell. "1984"
When Obama told about "civil discussion", he did not need to clarify what exactly he means. All of his supporters speaks the same language of George Orwell.
