The world would be a better place if more people listened to Daniel Greenfield. Hitting the cute puppets is a no win. Knockout the puppeteers.

"Hitting the cute puppets is a no win."

True. much as I used to (and might still) feel the urge to do that.

"Knockout the puppeteers."

Somebody here gets it. Or as Daniel put it:
"...the smart way is to go after the men behind the curtain, not the teens in front of it."

Exactly. Because even if you successfully attack these teens (which is unlikely, given the media) causing them to give up, the men behind the curtain are still there, and have the resources to go find another batch of puppets.

And if you expose the men behind the curtain, haven't you effectively discredited the teens as being mere puppets?
