A New Day for "Ultra-compassioinates"
A New Day for 'Ultra-Compassionates'
AP Aug 17, 2009 Looking to reshape the narrative in light of the fury of negative feedback in recent townhall meetings across the country, the Obama administration has decided to undergo further wordsmithing in an effort to win hearts and souls. The President's newly appointed Compassion Czar, Robert Loveless, pointed out that certain 'sobriquet' that have been used in the national conversatioin in recent weeks to describe Americans that have vehemently expressed opposition to the administrations health care reform initiatives will be replaced by more empathetic appellations. Instead of using terms such as idiots, teabaggers, lamebrains, brown-shirts, morons, @*%$-for-brains, numbskulls, gangsters, and terrorists, the new tack will be to replace the verbiage with terms such as "concerned citizens" or "caring neighbors." "We decided that if we are going to project ourselves as being truly compassionate that we were going to have to portray that image, not just give it lip service," said Loveless, who has a entire panel of wordsmithers that he has assembled from select members of the liberal student body at Columbia University to try to hammer out language that elicits a harmonious tone. Said Loveless, "This is a formidible task, to be sure, in light of the fact that such language of commiseration and empathy is foriegn to us. But, when you're talking about finding ways to actually be compassionate in your speech in addressing over half of the American population, you have to marshall all possible resources to find the appropriate language. In fact, our first step was to rename ourselves, those that have unfortunately expressed our antipathy for bitter-clingers (just kidding). Liberals, progressives, socialists, and leftists are now "ultra-compassionates." When asked how many terms his word-force had been able to find so far that might replace the more pejorative language, Loveless said, "So far, only two. Like I mentioned, actually being compassionate is a new game for us." -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
