How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff (DVD)
George Lakoff
BUZZFLASH REVIEWS
Filmed in the form of a conversation, it is an illuminating insight into how perceptions of reality become viewed through a certain prism or "frame."
A couple of years ago, we interviewed Lakoff when he was first becoming nationally known. He has a keen perception about how language and concepts have become a key force in moving the country rightward. Language, he understands, is a key political tool. For the Republicans, they have invested more than 30 years in utilizing language to create perceptions that aren't real and to move politically acceptable behavior to the extreme right.
Although, we rarely offer a premium again once we have stopped selling it in our BuzzFlash progressive marketplace, we did want to pass along this special price to our readers.
It's the kind of DVD you should watch and pass along to friends, relatives and colleagues who are politically like-minded.
Bestselling author and scholar George Lakoff, in a powerful presentation, presents key insights into the current political situation and strategies for the future - this is a must-see program for those seeking political change.
Here are a few of the things that you'll learn:
How conservatives gained so much power. What "framing" is.
How the term "tax relief" works to frame the debate over taxation.
Values win elections. Conservatives know theirs. Do you know yours?
How to debate a conservative- A look at four issues.
Where all the religious liberals have gone.
Why there seem to be two Americas.
How to influence a swing voter

Using television news clips, informative graphics, and a lively interview with George Lakoff, this 25 minute DVD program explains the causes of our current political climate with an emphasis on the critical role of language in today's politics. Each DVD also comes with a summary card of key points.
