Word Wars: "The private depends on the public"

[sabrina 1]

8. I agree with you. The Right Wing Noise Machine managed to change the language

Their words were stupid, childish, but they were repeated over and over again until people were so familiar with them, they didn't THINK about what they really meant.

But first you have to know what will resonate with people. THEN you can condense it into a catchy phrase and/or word.

No one has done the work on this.

Eg, the Right coined phrases like Welfare Queens eg, which instantly conjured up images of lazy, no good, healthy people who simply won't 'pull themselves up by their bootstraps'.

But the Left has done nothing half as effective regarding Wall St, who are the REAL 'Welfare Queens', feeding at the public trough for Trillions, AFTER they have failed.

OWS has done a lot to introduce short phrases and words aimed at Wall St that is now commonly used.

But maybe it would be smart to pick an issue, Wall St Money eg, its influence on our Government, and find ways to condense the info so that people 'get it'.
