FRAMING

The GOoPers are addicted to message points--the drumbeat party line--and 'framing'; the use of sometimes paradoxical words to describe a policy that would be unpopular if widely understood.

The new kid on the block is "islamic fascism".

Bush said it yesterday and now that awful Santorum said it today.

I grew up with the original Fascism and it didn't involve religious extremists.

This is all buzz.

Of course, in less than 24 hours, many Muslims have registered this and have objected to the term as a broad brush smear.

The adjective 'fascist' has become an epithet and now seems destined to have no meaning at all except for all the other wink-wink nudge-nudge code words these bastards use instead of plain speech.

Mussolini invented Fascism and it spread around the Axis during WWII.

That was it.
