Obama’s connection to Hoffa can be used to portray Obama as a Chicago gangster and thug who uses and endorses the language of thuggery (”If they bring a knife, we bring a gun.”) Hoffa’s connection to Obama can be used to prove that Hoffa is an enemy of labor, especially coal miners whose jobs Obama wants to destroy.

There is a scene in Bernard Cornwell’s “Sharpe’s Eagle” (book, not movie) in which a French cavalry colonel finds himself facing two infantry squares. One is a British square which, even though it is commanded by Sir Henry Simmerson, is unlikely to break. The other consists of relatively worthless Spanish troops.

The clever Frenchman waits for the Spaniards to throw their fire away at two hundred paces (it was pretty much hopeless to use a musket beyond 100 or so), and then charges them from a direction that will stampede the panicking fugitives into the British square to destroy it as well. The book points out that the square’s only hope would have been to fire at both the fugitives (throw them under the bus) and the French because, the instant the fugitives broke the square’s order, it was all over.

We can similarly use these leftists against one another to destroy them politically.
