Obama Team Seeks New Terminology for Global Warming
May I suggest "Bullshit," Mr. I Won?
Nah, too scientific ...
Seeking to bolster public support for climate legislation, the Obama administration is consulting pollsters who advocate avoiding phrases such as "cap-and-trade" and "global warming."
Here's a novel idea: don't avoid just the phrases, avoid the whole damn thing.
On Monday, the White House Council on Environmental Quality was scheduled to meet with Robert Perkowitz, president of ecoAmerica, a Washington-based nonprofit that uses "psychographic research" to "shift personal and civic choices of environmentally agnostic Americans fool the taxpaying idiots," according to its Web site.
"We're trying to give them phrases that work put lipstick on a polar bear," Mr. Perkowitz said in an interview. He said that in a survey of some 2,000 Americans conducted by his group in March and April, less than half of the respondents said they would support a "cap-and-trade" policy, and that only 24% said they knew what the phrase means. "If you call it 'clean energy dividend'...almost anything other than 'cap and trade,' you'll get people responding a lot more favorably fool a lot more of the rubes," he said.
In other words, lie to the American public in order to lull fool them into going along with Bambi's communist programs. Nice. Just remember, Mr. Perkowitz, when the Won doesn't need you anymore, you'll be one of the first to be shot disposed of. Enjoy it while you can.
