Heh! I’ve been saying the same thing to TMEW this whole week….

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals #5:

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon

I also ran across this:

“Our job is a much simpler one: Point and laugh at all of it. The contortions, the spins, the lies — they’re all so pathetically and rib-achingly funny. In three-plus decades of watching politics, I’ve never witnessed anything so desperately, hysterically funny.”

TMEW (The Most Esteemed Wife) has had to put up with peals of hilarity all week long as I have watched one attempt after another by the Obama campaign to gain traction.  My take has been “This isn’t even the Gang That Can’t Shoot Straight”, these guys are the “Guys Who Can’t Even Pick Up the Gun”.

At every turn of trying to demonize Romney and the Right (after all, that is what Community Organizers do – they can’t build themselves up, they can only tear down others) with what Romney may have done wrong, the Right has been able to rebut the argument with something even worse (e.g., Romney cut some kid’s hair in high school – Obama admits do doing cocaine).  Set up a Twitter hashtag?  Watch conservatives hijack it.  Watch the political event like North Carolina voting for a Constitutional amendment affirming traditional marriage?  Just hold up a mirror to the real haters on the Left as they drop their “tolerance” masks.

As good as the Obama campaign was in 2008 with him as the unpainted canvas on which to be painted everybody’s Hope, this one is as bad.  This is the result of when you outsource your own Presidency actions to others (i.e., let Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the other Democrat Socialists put together Obamacare for universal healthcare, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd to hamstring the financial sector, and the Green Environmentalists who wish to destroy the US Energy industry).

The other part of that above quote is after the jump:

   Which leads us to the stupidest thing I read all week — Mark Halperin’s report about how “confident” the Obama campaign is about their chances this fall. Has he not seen David Axelrod doing the Flop Sweat Tango on national television? Has he not noticed that the DNC chair is witlessly out of touch with voters? Is he unaware of the unprecedented nastiness of the president’s campaign? Obama 2012 makes Bush 2004 look like Reagan 1984. “Mourning in America” would be a step toward the positive for this crew.

Anyway, Halperin is just another cog in the progressive media machine that will stop at nothing to reelect the President. Our job is a much simpler one: Point and laugh at all of it. The contortions, the spins, the lies — they’re all so pathetically and rib-achingly funny. In three-plus decades of watching politics, I’ve never witnessed anything so desperately, hysterically funny.

 This is starting to play out just like the oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court for Obamacare – the Left was aghast that the Supremes believed that the opposing arguments had merit (as in “what, the words and philosophy of a limiting document, the Constitution, actually means something?”).

It was a hoot then, and a hoot then.  Still, only the results count.
