Mockery has long been a favorite -- and effective -- weapon of President Barack Obama.
His usage of mockery to demean and belittle his opponents comes straight from one of the men he most admired, the leftist Chicago radical Saul Alinsky, whose Rules for Radicals is the bible of the far left.
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon," Alinsky wrote in his primer for revolutionaries. "It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
Obama over the years has developed the use of mockery almost to an art form -- as in his "So sue me" taunt to U.S. House Republicans objecting to his questionable actions bypassing Congress and the U.S. Constitution -- to get what he wants
Mocking Traitorobama is far more difficult than mocking a mockery. With what obscenity, perversion, or wickedness could he be labeled that would not be more of an insult to the label itself?
These are not a bunch of teenage punk kids at a street basketball court shouting meaningless insults each other, this is the big leagues. But human nature is still human nature and just as trash talk can erupt in a flash in violence on a ghetto street corner, so it can lead to misunderstanding and war.
Obama is a profoundly dangerous man to have his finger only inches away from the nuclear button and this trash talk character flaw is the least of our problems. We can start with his utter lack of discernible policy which prompts adversaries to miscalculate and leads to a nuclear exchange. We can continue with an indiscernible policy known only to Obama the ultimate purpose of which is to undermine America. The more he succeeds the more our adversaries perceive our weakness and the closer we come to war. The more he succeeds, the more Americans perceive what he is doing and the more he must trash talk or bluster about red lines to compensate. The dangerous cycle spirals on.
They are too blind to see the hypocrisy
Does that mean it is “wrong” to mock Clown Prince nobama and his family of grifters?
Øbozo can dish it out but he can’t take it. Not just the thinnest-skinned president, he is the thinnest-skinned man I’ve ever seen.
“Obama is a profoundly dangerous man to have his finger only inches away from the nuclear button”
Or inches away from the speed dial to the head of the IRS. “So sue me”, takes on a very real meaning when this guy feels threatened.
It’s actually very easy to defuse ridicule - you simply have to call it out and deride it for what it is.
I remember one Piers Morgan show where Suze Orzman or whatever her name is called a pro-traditional marriage advocate “uneducated” along with some other epithets. He then asked her why she was being so rude when he was simply arguing logically and had not said anything offensive to her whatsoever.
A silence went through the crowd as they all realized he was right.
100% agree!
Answer mockery for mockery and insult for insult. If the Republicrats ever get a set, they would do well to remember that. For every cry of racism, a response of child molester would be appropriate. Mocking the Congress to “so sue me” should be answered with “you’ll get bills through the House when you obey the law”.

“Its actually very easy to defuse ridicule”
Agreed, and here is why -
Their (so-called) ridicule/mockery consists of nothing but distortions of truth. Lies in fact.
It’s like the difference between sarcasm (not funny, corrosive, mean-spirited) and irony (funny)...
Ever notice how decidedly un-funny & humorless libs are?
It’s because all they do is lie! (Most of us grew beyond sarcasm by the end of 7th grade or so)...
When ridicule and mockery are based on truth, most commonly by exposing their hypocrisy, it IS funny (though it’s hard to take such dangerous, power-hungry clowns lightly, kwim?)...
The thing these narcissists FEAR the most is ignoring them. Shunning them.
What they HATE the most (& it makes them rage so deliciously!) is ridicule.
