The Dictionary of Republicanisms

Katrina vanden Heuvel talked about her book The Dictionary of Republicanisms, published by Nation Books. The book is a compilation of definitions provided by the author and the participants of an Internet campaign for some of the terms used by Republicans and the current Bush administration. She charged that Republicans do not say what they mean or mean what they say. During her presentation she offered definitions such as election fraud being “counting every vote” and accountability as “never having to say you’re sorry.” Following her presentation, the author responded to questions and comments from members of the audience. close
