[...] See, the Left keeps on buying its own propaganda. There are a lot of slick hucksters there who tell them what they want to hear about how conservatives think and make decisions. Thomas Frank comes to mind, as does perennial tool George Lakoff. [...]

[...] Another thing my man Rob: “name calling is a centerpiece of conservative debating tactics” Rob, dude I just came from the yearly KOS, (great conference BTW) it would be impossible to tell you how many time I heard folks “name calling against Republicans and Conservative types” George Lakoff actually likened Republican and Conservative ideas to an “illness” Here is a link talking about the presentation: LAKOFF.

[...] At least that seems to be the conclusion (albeit somewhat simplified by yours truly) in this post from IB The Jawa Report as well as elsewhere among “infiltrators” who attended the over-hyped event in hopes of actual, you know, debate. For example, the series run at the IB Hot Air (this is just one link, but read all of them if you haven’t already done so, links are at the bottom of each post). [...]

“Awww…you guys are upset because someone is misrepresenting your views and creating a false caricature of Conservatives! Call the waaaaahmbulance! LOL

Remember this every time you people falsely and ignorantly claim liberals are pro-terror, pro-Saddam, pro-Al Queda, pro-Zarqawi, or whatever other strawman view your low-IQ brains try to muster up.”

I’ll remember this post the next time StuckOnStrawman posts here. Funny how he objects to making generalizations about liberals, and then responds by making a “low-IQ” generalization about us.

Professor Blather, no he hasn’t signed the 410 yet. Sounds like a familiar story. Might make a great running mate for Murtha in ’08. :)

Anyway, since liberals obviously aren’t pro-Al Queda and anti-US Military, how much discussion has there been at Yearly KOS about defending the notion of “innocent until proven guilty” for the Haditha Marines until they’ve had their day in court? As their IQ is so much higher than ours, what is their position on Murtha’s rush to judgement? Obviously their compassion for the accused is equal to their compassion for the Gitmo…. gah, I’m wasting my time. I think I’ll go get a beer. :)

Allahpundit, thank you for clearly defining what was wrong with the statements Lakoff was making. Even though the liberals are way off, and listening to Lakoff will lead them even further astray…we must not consider the ’06 or ’08 elections to be already won. They may be nutty, and turning nuttier by the day, but they had nearly half the country voting to put Kerry in the White House in ’04. Don’t be confused by their chaos-and don’t discount what they would be willing to do to regain power.

Oh, Better off Blue baby, we are npot upset at all…because WE ARE WINNING…!

As a conservative, I just cannot hold back from telling you guys the truth. By deceiving your own folks won’t win you elections. Just like making a phony female only poll before noon time won’t win Kerry the election neither.

You see, we conservatives are honest and it kills us not to tell you the truth( hehehe). The liberals..are…well…just count how many retractions NY Times has in past three years tell you a lot already….

I mean you no harm and I definitely is not upset at the liberals.

In fact, I am, just like you guys, angry at BUSH!

To be honest “better off blue,” I don’t think of “you people” as being pro or anti anything. I believe “you people” just don’t care about anyone or anything. Funny how you only wrapped your IQ around terrorism. I think of Democrats in much broader terms, most recently, the failure of some states to pass Jessica’s Law. “You people” feel a child rapist has more rights than a child. Proof is in those states where the majority of Democrats have been against it, and this doesn’t have anything to do with George Bush, just human decency to protect children.

This “Yearly Kooks” series is truly fascinating stuff. Thanks to your undercover guy for going where you couldn’t pay me to go. Really enlightening reading.

The single most important principle is to obey reality. It sounds like Mr. Lakoff is telling the Dems what they want to hear, not what is true.

Although it’s possible Mr. Lakoff is correct, anytime someone is tell you “you’re just naturally smarter than your opposition and all your views are because of your superior intelligence” you should be suspicious.

It doesn’t sound like the Daily Kos group is applying any more skepticism to Mr. Lakoff today than they did to Mr. Moore last year, or Mr. Marx 100 years ago, for that matter.

Reports from the yearly… oh, what’s his name again?…

Oh, yeah, “Kos.” Of course, I hear that “kos” actually means something pretty rude in Arabic, and although it might be accurate, I think I prefer the “alternative” spelling: POS. Hot Air has had several on-scene reports on this gathering…

I think it’s great Democrats are paying this fool for his opinions. Not only is it a total waste of their money, it leads them down the path to yet another election loss. Anyone that hires a professor from Berkeley gets what he pays for, witness the professor’s professorial thoughts. Idiots. BTW, anyone that wants an idea of what Berkeley teaches its student body, go to Cal Berkeley’s web site and look up women’s studies, for example. Or any of the 100 or so other wastes of time it costs thousands to be indoctrinated in. Keep one thing in mind, in the academic world, “theory” always wins out over facts.

Remember what? You people? Is there a point to that post?

What should we remember “every time you people falsely and ignorantly claim liberals are pro-terror, pro-Saddam, pro-Al Queda, pro-Zarqawi, or whatever other strawman view your low-IQ brains try to muster up.”

There’s something missing in that sentence.

In any game, a good way to win is to understand your enemy. Lakoff clearly does not. Government inherently good? Conservatives don’t care about the poor? The mentally ill are evil!?!

Boy, I’d hate to live in Lakoff’s world. It sounds frightening.
