Dr. Lakoff is Professor of Linguistics, UC Berkeley and Author of "Whose Freedom? The Battle over America's Most Important Idea."

What: George Lakoff in San Jose
When: Thursday, July 20, 2006, 7:00 PM
Where: Le Petit Trianon

Radical conservatives have hijacked the word freedom and distorted its meaning, says Lakoff. He describes how freedom has taken on a new significance in the post-9/11 United States and warns that progressive leaders have failed to recognize and counter the conservative platform. In order to regain their foothold, the Dems must wield language as a strategic weapon to reframe the political debate.

Anybody else want to meet for dinner before listening to George?
Cheers - Mike Carey
