The Democrats don't have the truth on their side, so they try to use language to make people think the Democrats are something, they are not. They are communists and a commie by any other name...

This is what you do when you have no ideas or moral sense. You play word games.

The crazy rats are hiring professional liars to determine their "core beliefs".

he wrote “Don't Think of an Elephant”-- a book about politics and language based on his own linguistic theories.


These guys are nuts. The title of the book says to me that we are still framing the issues.

Chomsky's a linguist, too. What is it with linguistics?

In other words tell the American people that the dems believe in all the same things that they do and maybe they won`t notice when they do just the opposite.
Got to remember they consider all of us stupid so why wouldn`t this fit into their game plan.

Liberals have been trying to reframe the language for years. That's why we now have "undocumented immigrants" instead of "illegal aliens" and "homeless people" instead of "vagrants" or "bums". But, guess what? Unless you change what's being described, people don't fall for it. Nobody wants a "homeless person" sitting next to them on a subway any more than tney wanted a "bum" sitting next to them. Why? Because those two terms still ultimately describe the same thing.

I hope Matt Bai makes plenty of bucks off the suckers not wanting to look inward, or question their own self-regarded smarts.

Just like the person/people who sold the DNC on the idea "talk radio" was behind the lack of gains in 2002, coincidently just after some Democrats were complaining the DNC and McAuliffe were the problems.

Language alone is not enough to sell people on bad ideas. Except for really stupid people.

The NY Times is late on this issue. The SF Chronicle had this story about 6 months ago, Rush talked about it extensively. He is a prof at UC Berkeley.
