lol, ya, he certainly diversified his distribution.

good ol' memes eh Dig?

anyways, this George Lakoff guy that coberst quotes is somewhat interesting, though is totally biased by "progressive" thinking

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lakoff

There is a good criticism of his stuff by Steven Pinker

http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/articles/media/2006_09_30_thenewrepublic.html

his reply

http://www.rockridgeinstitute.org/research/lakoff/whencognitivescienceenterspolitics/

and a perspective by another linguist, which I would recommend reading, if you don't read anything else

This isn't self propagating though, one person is spreading it.

The last link in my previous post has a pretty good article about it. I guess his bigger bias is that he attempts to explain all political affiliation with the idea that all people conceive of society as a family and want a) strict father or b) nurturing. All conservatives are a, all liberals b.

I'm not overly familiar with it, other than the posts smack of the sort of "we think properly, they don't" type mentality that it appears is being criticized in Lakoff's work.

but really, I do suggest the article.

His book is actually a pretty good read.

fair enough, I'm not sure I could get over the idea that I'm being told my world view is entirely shaped by the fact that I apparently believe that people need to bow down to a "strict father".
