Watching President Trump use his own version of Alinsky's Rules to get under the skin of the Republican Establishment, the Media and the Left I thought it would be a fun exercise to take each of the Rules and have my fellow Freepers try to design strategies to put each in place.
This first one, #5, says:
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
In order to do that properly we should take the lead from President Trump's campaign and find nicknames for as many politicians as possible.
I've been pretty strident recently about always using the following two:
John 'Keating 5' McCain and Joe 'Justice For Lori' Scarborough
I'd like to add Lisa 'Daddy Appointed Me' Murkowski to the list.
So, first, come up with your own names for those who rankle you the most and second, take the pledge that you will use the nickname every time you comment here or on any other web site.
Good luck and have fun!
We'll do this for every one of Alinsky's Rules over the summer!
Just call him McPsycho. That was how we called him at FR when he ran during primary in 2000.
waiting for the President to name those Republicans himself, but I think it will get messy. Must focus on the RINOS up next year. Heller, Hatch and who? Only 8 Repubs up in total.
McPsycho doesn’t make people make a connection between him and the scandal he was not prosecuted for. It needs to be something that the unaware seek out more info about.
All 3 I put up have that similar quality to it, ‘what is he referring to?, maybe I should Google it . . . ‘
The only rules for Freepers are set by Jim. :)
The Democrat party has been doing all the propaganda catch phrasing for so long their idiot followers need a refresher course in how to look up the meaning of things.
Your idea is a great way to get them to engage and then possibly think on their own again.
Hillary Clinton’s Memoir Will Be an Unapologetic Roast of Patriarchal Politics
Writing another book– she's an un-redeemable narcissist.
Bump for comments
Although, to be fair to the the late Senator from Massachusetts, far more died aboard the USS Forrestal than in the back seat of Teddy's car.
Incidentally, it shows how far gone both the GOPe and the Dems are, that
a) McCain was allowed to run with that in his background
b) the Dems didn't even *need* to bring it up to defeat him
Here’s a few more:
Susan “Open the Door and Let Them In” Collins
Jeff “Separated at birth from John Kerry” Flake
(How many of you know he was actually born in SNOWFLAKE, Arizona?)
Debbie ‘Come on I Awan-a lay ya’ Wasserman-Schultz
Been doing this on Twitter for two years.
My all time re-tweeted hit is Cankles (Hillary). Boy leftiez really go nuts.

SpewMore=Schumer
Tom Collins=Susan
DinoBernie=Sanders
Zero=Obama
First Linebacker=Michelle
BiteMe=Biden
James Brown=Maxine
I don’t have a good one for Murkowski.
“McPsycho doesn’t make people make a connection between him and the scandal he was not prosecuted for.”
But most people aren’t political wonks, so most people are clueless about the Keating 5. It has to be something more basic and simple — like “Lyin’ Ted”, “Little Marco”. Something that everybody will “get”. “John McTraitor” maybe.
Lindsey ‘Weasel While You Work’ Graham
John ‘I Appear With Bernie, not Donnie’ Kasich
Bernie ‘I’m Tarzan, SHE’s Jane’ Sanders
Try mine for Murkowski
Morecowbellski.
I like just “John Keating McCain”.................
simple and easy to remember and gets the point across!
Murky.
I prefer the spelling of “Burnie”, myself.
Zero is good, but I came to prefer “Ohole” alternating with “Obola” but it’s rather crude.
