Progressives need to learn how framing works. Bashing Luntz, bashing Fox  News, bashing the right-wing pundits and leaders using their frames and  arguing against their positions just keeps their frames in play.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives  have a basic morality, which is largely unspoken. It has to be spoken,  over and over, in every corner of our country. Progressives need to be  both thinking and talking about their view of a moral democracy, about  how a robust pubic is necessary for private success, about all that the  public gives us, about the benefits of health, about a Market for All  not a Greed Market, about regulation as protection, about revenue and  investment, about corporations that keep wages low when profits are  high, about how most of the rich earn a lot of their money without  making anything or serving anyone, about how corporations govern your  life for their profit not yours, about real food, about corporate and  military waste, about the moral and social role of unions, about how  global warming causes the increasingly monstrous effects of weather  disasters, about how to save and preserve nature.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives have magnificent stories of their own to tell. They need to be telling them nonstop.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s lure the right into using OUR frames in public discourse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8211; Sent using Google Toolbar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Lakoff: Words That Don&#8217;t Work: Unfortunately, Luntz is still ahead of most progressives responding to him.
