Scheiber almost gets Lakoff, yet remains blind
IS GEORGE LAKOFF MISLEADING DEMOCRATS?
Wooden Frame
by Noam Scheiber
Noam tries really hard to understand it. And he writes a decent article. He does not naively fall in the trap of equating framing with branding as many other liberals do. Yet, his own bias blinds him to the core message of "Moral Politics". After all that reading and interviewing, and despite apparently understanding what it is all about, he STILL wants to advise Democrats to tack to the Right? Is he insane or is it just that his feet smell bad?
