I rather prefer ridicule as a weapon and your comments won’t change that.

I agree that ridicule is an effective weapon. There are no shortage of stupid things that our adversaries say and do that deserve ridicule.

But ridiculing someone's physical appearance only makes the one doing the ridiculing look small-minded and mean-spirited. Sure, it's red meat for the choir (pardon the mixed metaphor), but it is no way to persuade people whose minds one is trying to change.

I disagree with your basic premise. At this point I'm NOT trying to persuade anybody because anyone who still needs persuading isn't worth the trouble. I'm just offering a rallying point to real Americans and sending a message to Skeletor that at least some of us know what she's up to.
