Brainstorm Phrases to Replace Common Terms with Left-Spinning Labels
Advertisements [?]
Awkward title for a thread, I know, but here's the basic idea:

You know how Frank Luntz and his ilk created a certain term to replace the medical term "D&X?" This certain term is now enshrined in a bill outlawing the procedure it describes.

Well, how about DUers come up with terms to replace common terms, like war in Iraq, tax cut, faith-based, etc., with ones that spin left. And of course they have to be catchy, so they make it into the mainstream.

And while you're at it, maybe someone could suggest a more catchy title for this thread?

Here's a jokey sugestion for starters:

Iraq war, replace with "partial planned abomination."
