It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”[81]

****“Ridicule,” said Alinsky, “is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule”.***

So! The MSM followed Alinsky’s advice and used this tactic against President Bush for EIGHT YEARS...even while we were at war!

Nice touch!
