Frank Luntz decrying negativity on MSNBC...

[surfered]

…this morning made me spit out my coffee. This is the same guy who advised Republicans in the 90s to “talk like Newt” by describing Democrats with terms like “corrupt,” “devour,” “greed,” “hypocrisy,” “liberal,” “sick,” and “traitors.”

But now he’s against negativity!

2. IMO, one of the biggest mistakes our side made was not hiring George Lakoff to counter Luntz & his BS.

Our leaders should have read & followed Lakoff's advice in Don't Think of an Elephant & Moral Politics: How Liberals & Conservatives Think. We could still benefit from it.

12. Remember George Lakoff's "Truth Sandwich"?

.Last week, Lawrence O'Donnell described Lakoff's "truth sandwich]" on his show. It was the perfect example to make his point.

"Truth" is sandwiched between lies and deception on the top,... and lies and deceptions on the bottom. (paraphrase)

4. He's also the one that decided the Democratic Party

should be called the ‘Democrat’ Party. Admission of guilt would go a long way…

5. I hate that fuck

6. is this a sign his oligarch masters are upset that MSNBC is covering the Chevron Doctrine story?

Heaven forbid that the electorate be informed about the destruction of the administrative state.

7. F**k him nt

8. Bite me, Frank. I got some negative words for you,

starting with "asshole." For your party of assholes, let's start with "fascist," "Nazi," and "cult." And for your Fearless Leader, how about "criminal," "mob boss," "soulless scumbag" and "syphilitic maniac." I have lots more.

9. I say we luntz him!

10. I was watching

Thank you for starting this op. Anything the Luntz says - do the opposite.

Our values and platform are NOT negativity.

It's a choice between two visions of America this year:

Democracy as we know it.

Or.


The end of our experiment.

And I want every single Democratic Party member to lean into it this year.

Look - just a tiny Borough Council member elected in November here. In our county - Moms for Libertines have taken over our school boards.

I ran on sidewalks and our Borough Library. And you know what?

I won. I leaned into the 1st Amendment and played into our two opponents silence about what was happening at our school board. And now - I'm the Library Liaison.

Ignore Luntz. He's a genuine son of a biscuit eater and has zero value to the Democratic Party.

11. Couldn't believe they actually had him on.

And called him a "friend of the show."

He sat there, with a straight face, and said how great it would be if a significant part of the electorate voted third party. It would cure all that ails us.

19. Frank Luntz is a slimy RW propagandist, the Republican equivalent of Joseph Goebbels.

Luntz has been on MSNBC a few times; they're apparently trying to normalize his lies and turn him into a regular contributor. I hope the audience reacts to Luntz like they did when Hugh Hewitt and other RW fabulists were brought in by MSNBC ownership to provide "balance."

21. I wanted to strangle him at that point.

UGH ...

[PCIntern]

13. This guy was probably beaten up every

day in junior high and he’s punishing America for his entire adult life.

[claudette]

14. Boo hoo

🙄. Like his guy is not negativity unbound?

[republianmushroom]

15. As the wind blows, so goes the politician.

[Peachhead22]

18. Irony is....

Those bleepety, bleeping, bleep Democrats are calling us bad names!

[Botany]

20. If you and your party are hurt by the truth about what you guys do and say then the fault lies with...

… with you not with the media reporting it. Luntz is worried about losing control of the
narrative and the ability to slant issues in a way that keeps a % of Americans voting
against their own best interests.

As noted up thread “democrat party” was from Frank. Phuck him.

22. Who cares what Luntz thinks?
