How Republicans are being taught to talk about Occupy Wall Street

The Republican Governors Association met this week in Florida to give GOP state executives a chance to rejuvenate, strategize and team-build. But during a plenary session on Wednesday, one question kept coming up: How can Republicans do a better job of talking about Occupy Wall Street?

"I'm so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I'm frightened to death," said Frank Luntz, a Republican strategist and one of the nation's foremost experts on crafting the perfect political message. "They're having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism."

2. Don't say that the government 'taxes the rich.' Instead, tell them that the government 'takes from the rich.'

"If you talk about raising taxes on the rich," the public responds favorably, Luntz cautioned. But "if you talk about government taking the money from hardworking Americans, the public says no. Taxing, the public will say yes."

3. Republicans should forget about winning the battle over the 'middle class.' Call them 'hardworking taxpayers.'


"They cannot win if the fight is on hardworking taxpayers. We can say we defend the 'middle class' and the public will say, I'm not sure about that. But defending 'hardworking taxpayers' and Republicans have the advantage."

Hardworking tax payers is dog whistle for the 53%, in ditto speak

7. "Don't call it 'wealth inequality' ...

Emphasize the burdens and hardships the rich endure in making America the greatest nation on earth. If it wasn't for them, we'd be all be communists. We should thank them."

"Don't think of it as drowning! Think of it as quenching your thirst at an elevated rate!"

"Don't call it decapitation. Call it the separation of mind and body."

"Don't call it stepping in shit. Emphasize the fact that with each step you take, you are using its fertilizing effects."

"Don't call it rape. Call it getting intimate with a stranger!"

"Don't call it a punch in the face. Call it a fist massage!"

Yeah, I can sit around and play these games, too. Solves nothing, Fuckhead!
