'Global Warming' No Longer Part of President Obama's Agenda? - Glenn Beck - FOXNews.com

[Beck] Andrew, I can't take the changing of the language anymore. This is craziness.

ANDREW BREITBART, COLUMNIST, THE WASHINGTON TIMES: Well, I'm so glad that you are noticing that this is the big issue of the Obama administration. Obama is the graduate of the George Lakoff School of Word Maneuvering — he's the professor from Berkeley.

And he is just like Frank Luntz, and God bless Frank Luntz. He's a friend of mine, but I think that the American people, at a time of tumult, of economic crisis, want straight language from people and the propaganda that comes from the administration and is pushed off by MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times before we even have a lexicon of what these words mean. They're just mind numbing.

BECK: OK. Here is the real problem as I see — it's causing us not to deal with actual issues. You want to talk about global warming? Great, let's talk about global warming. But now, they're not. Now, because we know that's bull crap — now we're going into creating new clean — not green — clean jobs, which has that nice fuzzy sound to it, but isn't the same issue. We're no longer even talking about the same issue.
