      Don't FOX viewers get it? Don't they understand what Frank Luntz does for a living? He teaches the clever manipulation of people through the use of buzz words. It's so fake it's almost Hollywood.

        Sounds exactly like the methods MMFA uses to incite the troops here. Pavlov's dog circa 21st century. Woof Woof.

          Baloney...this is what Frank Luntz does for a living. He was hired by Newt Gingrichand Hailey Barbour to craft the issues and identify the explosive words for the 1994/Contract With America takeover of Congress. The guy has literally written the book on manipulation through buzz words. It's shallow and phony...but apparently it pays very well.

      pollster or manipulator of public opinion and perception?

      How in the world can hannity say this is radical? One, the majority of america supports major healthcare reform. Two, Obama was elected into office by that majority and told us exactly what his plans were for healthcare reform. He did this and was still voted into the presidency by a conservative leaning American population. Three, the congress' house of reps passed this with a majority vote - the republicans have to oppose anything and everything so obviously they would oppose this. But there is NO WAY this is a radical move or these are radical ideas. When will FOX realize that Obama is more accurately described as a moderate democrat or a centrist in his first year than any sort of liberal democrat or far left democrat. These policies going through are not on anyones radical agenda - this is a centrist agenda.
