Ridicule, Mockery, & Scorn - The Lefty Handbook On Winning The Healthcare Debate
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-08-09 | Aye Chihuahua

Straight from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals playbook.

Rule 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage. It works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

This is a classic example. NSFW Warning: Edited strong language and actors representing Germans from the 1940's.

Mr. Alinsky declared Rule Five, "There is no defense. It's irrational. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage. It works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions."

But that was 100 years ago, almost.

Meanwhile for fifty years the modern conservative movement has been screamed at ("Racist!" "Bigot!"), ridiculed, pressured, forced into concessions, infuriated, and had no guts to counterattack -- until now.

For the entire second half of the 20th Century the modern conservative movement was the subject of "Rule 5" and more.

Well "Rule 5" don't make no mind no more.

It's the Left that has just recently been on the receiving end of Rule 5 -- and they are rattled and don't like it one bit.

Has any member of the MSM ever asked Obama about his connections to Saul Alinsky’s organization? Has the MSM ever reported on his “community organizing” under Alinsky’s groups? Has Obama ever spoken of Alinsky publicly?

RE: "Has any member of the MSM ever asked Obama . . . ."

Rush exposed the MSM as the state controlled media (SCM), I like to pronounce it SCAM.

So obviously the answer to your question is, no.

No questions even at SCAM's daily staff meetings with Obama's top aide, Gibbs.
