Duane Lester at AllAmericanBlogger.com recently wrote an article over at Pajamas Media analyzing President Obama’s speech that mocked opponents of ObamaCare. The Obama Administration’s mockery of concerned Americans is all part of the Alinsky playbook. The following is part of Duane’s post, plus his video response to President Obama’s stand-up comedy act.

From Pajamas Media.

Those are the words of the granddaddy of community organizers, Saul Alinsky. In his book Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”

On this, he’s right. Ridicule is a very potent weapon. In his book Fighting the War of Ideas like Real War: Messages to Defeat the Terrorists, J. Michael Waller explains why ridicule is such an effective weapon against one’s enemies:

• It sticks;
• The target can’t refute it;
• It is almost impossible to repress;
• It spreads on its own and multiplies with each re-telling;
• It boosts morale at home;
• Our enemy shows far greater intolerance to ridicule than we;
• Ridicule divides the enemy, damages its morale, and makes it less attractive to supporters and prospective recruits; and
• The ridicule-armed warrior need not fix a physical sight on the target. Ridicule will find its own way to the targeted individual. To the enemy, being ridiculed means losing respect. It means losing influence. It means losing followers and repelling potential new backers.

Imagine if Balki arrived in America today, instead of 1986. As you may recall, Balki was an immigrant from a fictional Mediterranean island named Mypos. After finding out that it takes years to get into this country legally, Balki decides to sneak over the border from Mexico.

Balki wants to meet up with his cousin Larry in Chicago. Inspired by Speaker Pelosi’s ObamaCare statement that people could quit their jobs that provide them health insurance to become a painter-or any other job that allows one to smoke pot all day-Larry became a photographer.

Balki is thrilled to meet up with his cousin in Chicago. But on the way to a poetry slam at a coffeehouse, Balki sprained his ankle. Luckily, he went to an emergency room at the local hospital and got it taken care of-free of charge! Way to go Balki!

Balki is a shepherd by trade, and shepherd jobs are hard to come by. No worries for Balkie though, ACORN just hired him to register voters in Chicago. This week alone he got 6000 people to register as democrats-many of these new voters are currently alive and a majority of them are NOT house pets.

Larry doesn’t have health insurance yet, but he did score some medical marijuana. With Balkie signing up dead people to vote-and Larry developing black and white photos he took of a model peeing on a crucifix, they are both living the American dream.

Sha Laa La Laa…

I don’t recall anyone in the tea party movement throwing eggs at Nancy Pelosi and other Dems as they slowly strolled through the anti-Obamacare protests 2 weeks ago in Washington DC.

Oh, and I am still waiting for the media to come up with any footage of those protesters hurling racial and anti-gay insults at the Congressional delegation. Fail…

But here is some video of Harry Reid supporters throwing eggs at what appears to be a tea party bus, and one guy who wants to knock Andrew Breitbart’s head off.  Ahhh, lefty tolerance…

Since the government is now handing out “free health care”, I pose the following question:

They did it, now what???

Democrats have done a marvelous job making many Americans believe that treatment provided by a doctor is now a right, instead of a service.

A 2,300 page health care bill that a majority of Americans still oppose will be up for a vote on Sunday. If it passes, I think the Dems should go further, and attempt to turn other services into rights. Here are my top 6 services that I believe Democrats can turn into rights.

1. Free food. Sure we have food stamps, but that’s not enough. Chain grocery stores (I call them Big Grocery) make billions of dollars every year while Americans go hungry. The government should pass a 2,300 page bill to reform Big Grocery. Yes food prices will skyrocket, but in exchange, every American will get a free bottle of Yoo-Hoo chocolate-flavored beverage.(mmm Yoo-Hoo)

2. Free WiFi. Let’s face it, the Internet should be a right. Millions of Americans have no way to access the Internet to watch porn (an argument that will sway several Senators) or worse yet, many still use dial up. This must end. 2,300 pages later and we will bring back AOL, Prodigy, NetZero and CompuServe!

3. Free cell phones. Today, millions of disadvantaged teenagers are forced to walk around without phones, while the rich teen-aged spawn of Republicans use their iPhones to text their friends about their fantastic health insurance. Do you know how that makes these poor teenagers feel?

4. Free cars. Everyone needs an automobile and the government already owns GM and Chrysler. This is a match made in heaven. Sure it will cost a lot, but my buy a car for everyone plan will reduce the deficit by 150 billion dollars over the next 10 years. I base that savings on the fact that I am arrogant and figure that you are too stupid to look anything up or ask any questions.

5. A free house. Do I have to explain myself on this one? People are hurting. Are you trying to say that everyone shouldn’t have a house? What kind of jerk are you? Don’t you have a heart? In fact, we don’t need 2,300 pages for this. Your house is paid for. That will teach your bank. (I call them Big Mortgage)

6. Free Willy. Who didn’t love that movie? I mean come on, a kid freed a whale that was being held captive by a ruthless human being, who was only using that poor whale to make a profit. Profit is evil.

The good news, all this will be paid for by raising taxes on Bill Gates. Trust me: Do not do any research to try and catch me lying my ass off. Just listen to the mainstream media for its analysis. The media is spot on.

I just realized something. My list may give you the false impression that Dems may not like the private sector. I do not want to give you that impression. They only hate:

Big Oil, insurance companies, the auto industry(pre-government ownership), talk radio, Big Tobacco, Big Coal, Wall Street, restaurants that use salt, soft drink companies, the US military, Halliburton, banks, cable television companies and *Al-Qaeda.

* It was a toss up between putting Al-Qaeda last on the list or “Big Cable”. I know the Dems hate them both, but in the end I heard Al-Qaeda provides health insurance for its suicide bombers. The same can’t be said for cable company employees with “pre-existing conditions”.

As has been widely reported, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D) Ohio switched his vote on ObamaCare after President Obama wined and dined him on an Air Force One flight to Cleveland. (For video of the evening’s events, just rent Pretty Woman)

So, The Snark Factor has learned the six things President Obama offered Kucinich to switch his vote. Warning, you will be shocked by the corruption.

1. Pledged that the Oompa Loompa Song from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory will no longer be played before Kucinich makes remarks on the House floor.

2. Offered him a one year supply of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.

3. Gave him an autographed picture of the cast from Saved By The Bell.

4. Put Jack Nicholson on speakerphone and had him say: “You can’t handle the truth” until Dennis started to giggle.

5. Pledged to keep abortion legal and funded by Obamacare through the 12th trimester.

6. After 3 hours, President Obama finally agreed to Kucinich’s request to “pull my finger.”

This from the Telegraph.co.uk:

The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.

A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.

Mr Obama’s threat came as the year-long debate over his signature domestic policy entered its final week.

Upon hearing of this latest development, Congressman Fake (D) Georgia said: “Thank God. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I would be better off announcing that I am a truther than have him campaign for me. I’m not a truther by the way, or am I???”

Representative Imadeherup (D)  Hawaii noted: “I don’t want him to come to my district, everything he touches turns to crap. I am going to campaign in front of this wax statue of Ronald Reagan. It looks real.”

It’s now clear that the Democrats need my help. I could have had this bill passed last year. So even though I am not a socialist, here is my advice to Speaker Pelosi that if listened to, will sway enough Democrats to vote yes for this giant crap sandwich to get it passed.

Madam Speaker, listen to me and your health care dreams will come true.

* Note, keep in mind these ideas will only work because House members never read legislation that comes up for a vote.

6 possible ways to get ObamaCare passed.

1. Tell House Democrats that they are really voting on a bill to send Rush Limbaugh to Guantanamo Bay.

2. Rename the health care bill; “The Give Representatives Pay Raises and Hookers Act of 2010.”

3. Make them believe that a yes vote will include a “Massa massage” from Rep. Eric Massa.

4. A yes voter receives a party invitation with an open bar on a flight chartered by the Speaker of the House (thanks to the U.S. military.)

5. If you vote no, Chuck Norris will not be happy.

6. A yes voter will also receive an autographed Hillary Clinton pants suit.

Speaker Pelosi, you can thank me later…

Rumors spread rampant over the Internet today that American Idol may not name its winner based on a public vote, but instead a winner may be picked (or “deemed”) by Simon Cowell.

This power grab by Cowell has been called the “Slaughter Solution,”  named after the craptastic 80′s hair band Slaughter. Fans reacted immediately; American Idol fan John Francis told the Snark Factor:

This is bulls**t. Who does Cowell think he is? This is a democracy, he wants to be a dictator. Wait, what’s The Snark Factor?

The Fox Network had no comment on the Idol controversy. When I find out more I will update this site immediately.

*UPDATE!!! 

Apparently I have been duped. The person I talked to got American Idol mixed up with ObamaCare. There will, I repeat, there WILL be a vote to determine the winner of American Idol. I contacted Idol fan John Francis and told him the good news. He said:

Wow, I was scared there for a minute that my rights were being taken away. I’m glad it’s just health care and not Idol. I knew deep down Simon wouldn’t let me down.
