LABELING (memes, labels, whatever) assistance please... |
|
i am helping a friend prepare for a weekly newspaper interview. I am presently compiling a list of "labels" i want him to attach to the right and left at the appropriate times.
For example:
When talking of labor issues: cheap labor republicans vs ???????
When talking of social issues: radical christian right, talibornagains vs ???????
When talking of the environment: ??????????
When talking of foreign policy: ????????????
When talking of education: ??????????
When talking of tort reform: corporate lawyers vs personal protection lawyers
What i am looking for are short concise words or phrases that have a clearly negative connotation for the right and a clearly positive connotation for the left.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I am going to bed.

|
more resonable party. (although I like xenophobic for the foriegn policy description)
