That’s straight from the liberal playbook.

When you know you support a position that cannot be logically and reasonably argued, result to the logically fallacious ad hominem Alinsky method of isolating and ridiculing by simply laughing at your opponent.

You have to watch out for crediting Alinsky with too much ~ after all you can look around you just about anywhere and observe that Alinsky methods do not dominate life.

The guy was a mentally ill crank ~ his followers are on that route themselves ~ giving them credit rather than Ritalin or Thorazine just encourages them.

Put the real stuff in their chai when they're not looking.

The error (Alinsky's and his critics as well) is that a proponent of a position will actually realize how stupid it is.

These leftwingtard guys are not 10 feet tall ~ most are mental midgets or morons. Some of them have never encountered thinking outside the leftwing box of memes and will frequently state that nothing you say makes sense.

They do not immediately move to ridicule your arguments when they run into a discontinuity ~ they fittzzz out.
