>
> ʉۢ Clearly identify the enemy by putting a bull's-eye on his back:
> "Pick the target, freeze it,
>
>  personalize it, and polarize it." The president has targeted "Tea Party

>
>  "crazy extremists" and "radicals," while knowing the media would never

>
>  his own radicalism.
>
>
>
> ʉۢ Mock the enemy and his arguments: "Ridicule is man's most potent
