Rule number five - ridicule

The Rolling Stone magazine has been caught with a little issue of accuracy in reporting a rape. The same writer had a similar issue a few years ago so it boggles the mind that R.S. would not double-check anything she submitted to them again.

And then, there is Ms. Dunham's memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, which talks about her 'rape' by a 19-year-old student who was known as a “poor loser” at poker with a flamboyant mustache who worked at the campus library and hosted a radio talk show. She also stated that Barry was the “campus’s resident conservative.” Barry has been identified and is now thinking about suing.

Ms. Dunham's memoir also talks about her sexual explorations with her much younger sister.

Rule number five?

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Street Artist Sabo Blasts Lena Dunham, Bill Clinton in Fake Rolling Stone Covers
Los Angeles' most controversial street artist, Sabo, has struck again — this time papering the Westside early Monday with posters depicting a fake Rolling Stone cover featuring a Leah Dunham photo and the headline "Rape Fantasies and Why We Perpetuate Them."

The poster also includes headlines that dig at Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby and Rolling Stone magazine, which recently retracted a gang-rape account at a University of Virginia fraternity house.

In an email, Sabo told The Hollywood Reporter: "Remember (Dunham) accused a Republican of raping her in college, and that story is falling apart. Then you have the politics of Hollywood with her, Cosby, the Rolling Stone article that is being detracted. Last but not least, our beloved Bubba Clinton's blast from the past and the double standard of why Rolling Stone didn't run with his rape allegations but they ran with the UVA false story."

Heh... From the same article:

A former U.S. Marine, Sabo has recently been scrutinized by the Secret Service for a series of tweets that appeared to threaten President Barack Obama. (His video of his encounter with two Secret Service agents at his apartment has received more than 200,000 views on YouTube.)

Hat tip to Gerard for the initial pointer.
