That's what I like about you stinking lefties. You don't get it! So you keep making the same mistakes over and over.

As a Colbert Conservative, I feel pressed to share an important TRUTH about data, facts, and the like. They need to be put into perspective so their "truthiness" is evident for all to see and understand them. Without truthiness, you have nothing.

Those left wing radical thinkers Lakoff and Westen both agree with ME and conservative word guru Frank Luntz on this... Until the facts can be tied to a reader/observer's gut, they just hang out there without any maximal effect.

Why do you think that I, and Papa Bill, Sean, Rush and even weird Glenn don't just talk facts? We are ALWAYS wrapping our brilliant monologues and commentary in American values and, more importantly, CORE VALUES! We know using those words/phrases are the psychological keys to letting our messages about individualism and self-reliance really hit home and become emotionally compelling for out target audiences.

I am glad you libs are asleep at the wheel, you make everything so much more easy for those of us who want to bring this nation back to the greatness we experienced in the Gilded Age when I will again enjoy the power that my Robber Baron heroes did. Happy Thaksgiving, libs...let's pray you don't wake up to the power of "framing" your messages.
