What's up w/liberals telling me what I can and can't say all of a sudden?

Seriously. I would ask this in a GD forum, but I am VERY hesitant to.

I see us in two groups now: one group feels like they should say "screw trying to be nice and word things in JUST the right way, I'm saying what I REALLY feel---the right's been doing it for YEARS" and one group feels like they should find new ways of saying things and be very careful about saying them, etc.

Guess which group I'd be in? The first.

Don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with framing. But I can completely see it being taken WAY too far. I already see it being taken too far on the GD forums. Don't say this, don't say that, say it like this, say it like that.

When is the DNC going to come out with the pre-approved list of words and phrases I can use and not use?

I detest this attitude. I live in a red state and spent most of my life biting my tongue. Finally, on November 3, I woke up and said "NO MORE." I had already loosened it up plenty between 2000 and November 2, 2004, mind you, but suddenly I had no candidate to have to "behave" for anymore. I could truly be the resistance.

So to have Dems, of all people, in a snit about what to say and not say, well let's just say I am NOT in that place right now. And personally I know of some right wingers who could use a little listening to some harsh points on their policies and politics.
