Hunter at dailykos does his best to keep from lapsing into fits of hysterical laughter at Frank Luntz, the chief architect of GOP Newspeak, who along with Newt Gingrich notoriously constructed a list of words for Republicans to use in their namecalling of Democrats (words selected solely for their negative connotation value totally devoid of any issue-specific context). Luntz is a terminally cynical political hack who employed Orwell's 1984 as an instruction manual for Republicans, and he's squealing like a stuck pig now that the GOP is being commonly described in negative terms.
