This morning I realize the MSM has suddenly pivoted away from calling it Obamacare towards the Affordable Care Act.

My read on that is the Dems are attempting to de-couple it from Obama’s ego so that he’ll be less resistant when they finally shut the door and demand that he sign a repeal bill.

Using words to manipulate society is a tactic the nazis used.

"the language of the 3rd reich" (Lingua Tertii Imperii) By Victor Klemperer

In the book Klemperer details how the nazis manipulated the German language to nudge the German people to become more accepting of nazi ideals.

From Wiki

Lingua Tertii Imperii studies the way that Nazi propaganda altered the German language to inculcate people with National-Socialist ideas. The book was written under the form of personal notes which Klemperer wrote in his diary, especially from the rise of the Nazi regime in 1933, and even more after 1935, when Klemperer, stripped of his academic title because he was Jewish (under the Nuremberg Laws), had to work in a factory and started to use his diary as a personal exit to his frustrating and miserable life.

LTI demonstrates how a new language came to be naturally spoken by most of the population. On the reverse, the text also emphasizes the idea that resistance to oppression begins by questioning the constant use of buzzwords. Both the book and its author unexpectedly survived the war. LTI was first published in 1947 in Germany.

It underlines odd constructions of words intended to give a "scientific" or neutral aspect to otherwise heavily engaged discourses, as well as significant every-day behaviour.

My read on that is the Dems are attempting to de-couple it from Obama’s ego ...

Democrats are changing the name so down the road they can blame this horror on Republicans. It's hard to blame something called "Obamacare" on the GOP... even if the suck-ups at the New York Times were willing to push it...

Watching the order of the MSM switch-over to the new name will tell us how high they jump when their dem master tell them to jump. I assume NBC and MSNBC have already switched to the 'Affordable Care' lie.

I totally noticed that this weekend and thought so for the same reason. If any Freepers can get this idea to Levin, Hannity and Rush, it would be great.
