Stop calling them "talking points"!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

People on DU and elsware keep calling them "Republican talking points".

We need to learn how to frame the debate just as well as they do. They should NEVER be called talking points. They should ALWAYS be referred to as "lying points".

Also, they should never be called "conservative" There is nothing conservative about bankrupting the nation, destroying the Bill of Rights, devestating our environment etc. Right wing Faschists would be my first choice, but call them anything you want except conservative.

Add your thoughts please. We must start useing the language as well as they do.

Healthy forests?
No child left behind?
Clean air initiative?
Death tax?

It's all bullshit but people buy it cause it sounds good. We need to start doing that too.

1. They are called "talking points" on both sides, have been for a long time.

Lying has nothing to do with the origination of this term.

3. That's not the point

It was called the estate tax for a long time until the faschists started calling it the death tax. That didn't stop them from calling it somethong else when it suited their purpose.

The latest lying points are an attempt to discredit Wilson by lying. Put lipstick on it and call it Sally, it's still a lying pig.

2. Just use a disclaimer

something like "ludicrous RW talking points" when you're refering to them. :D

6. They are the catapulted propaganda Bush earlier referred to

"...See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. ..."
