People who get called wordsmith practive their trade well and deserve the title. If they didn't they would be called wordsmiths. I would agree to calling Luntz word weasel or weaselworder. He's a propagandist pure simple why not call him what he is. He uses fear, lies, etc to get people to act out of fear and preys on their worst sides. Thats a wordweasel. stateofthedivision: I have no give on not using wordsmith on luntz. People who get called wordsmith practive their trade well and deserve the title.

A poet or novelist is a wordsmith. Luntz is a propagandist pure and simple. Lets not demean poets and novelists by putting Luntz’ manipulation of language to create fear (amongst other negative emotions) as some kind of artful crafting of prose, verse, or rhyme by honoring him with the title of "wordsmith". Consider partisan hack though. It's certainly more accurate. Please. Take 2: Lets clear something up quick. A poet or novelist is a wordsmith. Luntz is a propagandist pure and simple.
