Reply #62: They always put words in our mouths. [View All]

[bluedawg12]

it goes back to George Lakoff and his concept that the language is the message.

Her title is a tidy: "THE GHOULS OF THE LEFT

how the actual events are described:

About "Not One More Death. Not One More Dollar."

"Events to mark the 2,000th reported U.S. military death will range from candlelight vigils to public actions that illustrate the size of the death toll."

....................

Her five words are memorable and have an impact.

In looking at the name of the event: first, a negative in the title.

"Not" not one more any thing.... is a negative.

Second, 8 words to describe an event is too long.

...........

Examples: Dems call it tax cuts.
Repugs call it: tax relief.

What is more appealing "cuts" or "relief"? Which do you recoil from?
...............

As long as we keep insisting that it's what's on the inside that counts, no matter how warty the outside, we are ignoring the selling of everything....including politics...and we will have our good message turned in side out by 5 little words from the poison pen of the likes of little troll-she-asp- MM.
