The Art of Political Framing, George Lakoff

I have been telling friends and progressive clergy for several months now that George Lakoff is the person to read and know for these times.

George Lakoff is the author of the new book, 'Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate' (Chelsea Green). He is Professor of Linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley and a Senior Fellow of the Rockridge Institute.

I talked on line about this book several months ago. For understanding how the values frame was co-opted by the conservatives and what progressives much do to win the political chess board, Lakoff is the best.

Feedback welcome.
