I've been reading about conservatives' use of langauge, from various sites, and found a good one: LuntzSpeak.com. Frank Luntz is the god-emperor of Orwellian conservatism, and LuntzSpeak gives you the Cliff notes on how his system works. Complete with actual decoder rings.
Update: More Luntz-O-Mania, this time about how MSNBC used Luntz as an on-air 'political pollster' who interviewed 'undecided voters' in the 2000 election. If you're interested in how politicians use language the way accountants use fractions of pennies, then go read it.
