Laughter: the Best Answer to the Intellectual Elite

The best way to defeat intellectual elitists and Cultural Marxists is not to challenge or debate them but to laugh at them.
The power of buffoons like Ward Churchill and charlatans like Noam Chomsky is not the strength of their intellect or the effectiveness of their arguments. Their arguments are little more than political propaganda disguised as education. No it is the fact that people - both their supporters and opponents - take them seriously and treat them like scholars and intellectuals rather than what they really are laughingstocks.
Ward Churchill is a prime example of an intellectual buffoon he’s a sixty year old man who’s still playing cowboys and Indians. Churchill claims to be fighting stereotypes of Native Americans while dressing up like an extra from an old Western Movie. He claims to fight for the rights of Indians by picketing Columbus Day parades and terrorizing elderly Italian American immigrants. Churchill, who doesn’t have a drop of Native American blood in his veins, and lacks a doctorate claims to be an Indian and an expert historian. At the University of Colorado at Boulder, Churchill teaches a course in the stereotyping of Native Americans in old Hollywood movies. In other words Churchill has figured out how to get CU to finance his DVD collection. Churchill travels around the country charging high lecture fees to groups like Marxists and Maoists.
The way to deal with someone like Churchill is not to debate him or protest him that’s what he wants but to laugh at him. To tell the public how ridiculous Mr. Churchill is and show them what a mockery he is making of higher education. A good start would be by calling Churchill “Tonto” after all he dresses up like the Lone Ranger’s sidekick doesn’t he?
Noam Chomsky, the notorious MIT professor and admirer of Communism, is another prime example he claims to be a Marxist and a critic of capitalism yet he is a millionaire with a large stock portfolio. Chomsky is a critic of America who is living the American dream with a good job, lots of money, and a big house in Suburbia. Chomsky a life long opponent of the military industrial complex teaches at a university largely financed by the Defense Department.
Chomsky isn’t a scholar or an intellectual he is a joke and a very bad one. His books are little more than poorly written political tracts filled with blatant historical denial. Chomsky’s books sell well because they reinforce popular prejudices not because they contain any intelligent argument or original positions.
The best way to deal with Chomsky is not to pay attention to him or his books but to laugh at him. Chomsky only has power because he and his ego trip are taken seriously, start laughing at Chomsky and he’ll be revealed as what he really is a pathetic little crackpot who has become an expert at marketing his political venom.
It is time for conservatives to stop debating people like Churchill and Chomsky and to stop trying to expose them. Instead it is time for conservatives to start mocking them with skits, jokes etc. Instead of a debate with Ward Churchill, why not a video of a red neck dressed up as Tonto lecturing rich white people on Native American culture he’s learned about from reruns of Bonanza. That’s what Ward Churchill really is.
Instead of exposes of Noam Chomsky’s excesses why not a video of a man like Chomsky lecturing an audience about the evils of capitalism and money and greed. Then somebody whispers in his ear and he screams, “What do you mean the check bounced and you can’t cover my lecture fee. I’m out of here.” Then he turns and storms out the door.
Such humor would hit closer to the truth and do far more damage to the pompous fools on the universities than all the exposes of the Hate America Left. Recent history proves this point, the most effective conservative commentator in America today is Rush Limbaugh, Rush is popular and effective because he is funny. Liberals hate Rush because he refuses to play their games and take them seriously. Or Ronald Reagan much of his effectiveness was his humor.
So perhaps the real danger to the cultural Marxist elite is not David Horowitz or the Washington Think Tanks but the South Park creators and all their imitators. South Park reaches a far larger audience than any blog and has more effect, just ask Tom Cruise and his handlers at Scientology what happened when they tried to censor it. Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if the left wing establishment were brought down by the very media it promotes so heavily?
