There is an old story about getting the mule's attention using a 2x4 "up side the head."

Surely the American people, MORE and more American people, will feel the 2x4 before long. The risk is that the clever right wing manipulators misrepresent source of the 2x4 so effectively that people, especially voters, do exactly the wrong thing.
