Abraham Lincoln knew the value of ridicule. If he could get a jury or voters laughing at his opponent, the battle was won. Rush Limbaugh reminds conservatives of this useful tool. The Pipsqueak president's inflated sense of himself carries with it this achilles heal... hypersensitivity to ridicule. Rush, on 4/6/09:
There's two ways of going at Obama, I think. Or there's a choice of two ways. I think it's a mistake to just pound policy. People aren't going to listen to it. They don't blame him. They think everything Obama's doing is done to fix what's already wrong when he got there. It's a waste of time. It's educational, and it's informative, don't misunderstand, it's gotta be done, but the thing that irritates this White House the most and the way to really put them off stride is to laugh at them, to ridicule them, and to make fun of them. To go just hands wringing and give people serious dissertations on the problems of Obama policy, yeah, I mean that has to be done, but at the same time, laughter, making fun of 'em, ridicule them, that's what they don't like. He's supreme leader. You don't do that. That's what will take 'em off stride.
