Franken is skewering Frank Luntz
especially re: hairpieces. LOL.

Going after him for the language of "private accounts" primarily, but got a few good digs in about Frank's ruggette.

3. Repugs have been misrepresenting Clinton on Soc Security.
It is great to see Al and Josh saying the truth, and exposing the Repug's newest lie.

5. I posted some good info about Luntz in another thread...
I think we all need to learn more about this guy. He's a major figure in the Republican noise machine.

10. Re: Republican "Lakoff"
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 02:38 PM by drm604
Except that Luntz, in my opinion, encourages conservatives to use language to deliberately mislead people. From what I've read, you can't say that about Lakoff.

11. Crap, yes, but he or they actually seem to have some system to enforce it.
They do have control over the CM. I think Luntz was admitting to what happens behind the scenes. No?

8. Frank Luntz is is liar and just as bad KKKarl Rove and Grover Norquist.
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 02:28 PM by BrklynLiberal
He just does the work in the trenches so his name is not as well known. He provides the bullets for their guns.

16. I Think He's A Dunce
His understanding of social sciences and statistical analysis wouldn't fill a thimble. Yet, he passes himself off as a sociological pollster and statistician. He's a dunce and a liar.
