Bush said his eventual nominee will be a "fair-minded individual who represents the mainstream of American law and American values."

We know what this means, since everybody knows conservatives are "extremists" who are out of the "mainstream."

The MSM (and the 'looney left') seem to consistently label anyone less liberal than Olympia Snowe or as a conservative republican. They also use terms like 'hard core', "extreme", "right wing" etc., ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Conservatives are rather moderate.

they make us sound like thugs who will crush civil liberties and so on - ignoring that we are much more interested in preserving individual liberties - as the constitution prescribed.

I'm intereested in finding examples of truly right wing radicals to cite to my wishy-washy friends when they breezily parrot the MSM characterization of the target of the day.

Do any freepers have ideas of how to counter the theft of the language that the MSM is perpretating?

Thanks
