Lakoff on Karl Rove | by Ben
George Lakoff has put online his analysis of the Karl Rove framing trick. He opened his talk in Austin last weekend with this argument, and his online remarks are an extension and elaboration of his talking points. Basically, Rove launched a provocative argument that offended a lot of Democrats, but instead of ignoring his noise and pushing on our issues, we took the bait, therfore shifting the national conversation into areas where Republican methods have power. We've got to stop doing that!
