Didn't know this was a democrat constituent group. But hey since the dead and felons vote why not "the greys".

Interesting poll results on the abortion issue here. About 14% of FReepers agreed with you that killing babies is cool. But when you factor in all the DU lurkers who added their two cents to the poll, the numbers went up several percentage points. If we could get the Democrats to give us their pro-lifers, I would gladly part company with our libertine libertarians.
A fat bloated ivory tower professor to go with the lies of a fat an bloated political party.
A liar's liar.
"The Democratic think tank Third Way -- run by the same strategists who moved the party to the center on the gun issue..."
I missed this "shift". Is this just more media nonsense or did any such shift occur at all?
Amen to that!
I think they are referring to John sKerry's photo ops last summer and fall.
I don't believe that the Rats will be able to appear more centrist by dropping the prochoice lingo. It has been used too long to suddenly drop it as there trademark for abortion. There is such a thing as overthinking an issue.
They will not succeed. They are pro-abortion, and they will not be allowed to get out from under this.
Reporters who use the "language" promoted by Lakoff are instantly identifiable as biased.
Thus anyone, MSM or otherwise, who go with the "winning with words" promoted by Lakoff are exposing their leftward bias.
With the new media we should hold the feet to the fire of any reporter or reporterette that DARES to use Lakoff's Goeble-esqe tactics.
What about the personal freedom of the child being killed?
don't count them out.
Liberals are now trying to hide by usurping the word "progressive".
Even O'Reily has been suckered hook line and sinker by that.
But this intrusion into the language of freedom now gives me the willies. It's always creepier when they try to obfuscate by semi-pretending they are us, with the goal of winning over those on the medium-sized school bus.
Further translation:
I'm so damn selfish, I would rather murder a child than take responsibility for my behavioral choices.
ALL Lakoff's Goebles style wordplay requires assumptions.
His biggest and most erroneous assumption is that he is in the majority. Essentially that the majority of the USA belives communism is good.
In this case his assumption is based on a scientific conclusion that a fetus is not a living organism. (and not open to debate)
As Planned Parenthood's take for killing babies continues to dwindle, I'm sure they'll be talking "from the heart" more and more often. The Left is taking Lakoff's advice and developing the new double-speak terms just in time for Hillery's run for office. George Orwell just missed the date by 21 years.
I don't believe that O'Reilly has been "suckered" by anybody, I think he is a die-hard leftist who occasionally acts conservative to keep his ratings up.
But let's not get in the way of the Left's attempt to "frame" the issue.
I think they are moving to "privacy" because it is seeming inevitable that Roe is going to be dropped and pushed back to the states.
Many states have passed constitutional privacy amendments with this in mind.
Thus (if we follow their prediction) when Roe is overturned, they will have their language in place for the 50 state battles.
