OMFG! "Doublespeak"?
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 04:00 PM by Elbowroom
I just saw an email I received from the Bush/Cheney04' lot, and it is a link to the new anti-Kerry ad called "Doublespeak". I can't view the ad here at work, but just the name of it already pisses me off.

The Bush admin takes it's faults and throws it on the other guy. That is "doublemudslinging".

welcome to 1984, beotches!

4. Holy crap, are you kidding?!
And welcome to DU, btw. I can't believe they're naming an ad that.

I have a bumper sticker on my car: 1984. Read it. Don't live it.

6. Holy crap- that's like Quadruplespeak.
The Bush administration's Orwellian bent with language has been widely recognized- even in the mainstream media.

For them to use the word "doublespeak" in reference to Kerry is... well... it's worse than the pot calling the kettle black. It's the pot calling the kettle a pot.
