What could have been a powerful message is destroyed by going one step too far. Imagine this photo without the words "you jerk" and without the girl shooting a bird (just frowning). It would have been more powerful and resonated with every parent (regardless of their political affiliation).

Instead, what this does is just speak to the choir.

When you start throwing insults like "you jerk" it causes people to simply harden their position. Even if your listener deep down things your argument is 100% right, the listener is not going to agree with you because you have injured their pride by calling them a jerk.

That's human nature on both sides of the political fence.
