Response to Original message
14. I disagree
Just got back from seeing Lakoff in Seattle. We can not talk in words that evoke fear, fear speaks to the strict father model (http://www.rockridgeinstitute.org/) which identifies with what the radicals are doing. We need to talk about what we as progressives or democrats will do for America, not the issues but the values. I was kind of onboard with the whole Nazi thing, especially as a Jew, but I know see where it will hurt rather then help. We may be heading down a fascist road but we need to evoke hope, seperate ourselves from the evil that is the Bush Admin.
