Rules for Radicals; Saul D. Alinsky (emphasis mine) "According to Alinsky, the organizer (AGITATOR) — especially a paid organizer (AGITATOR) from outside — must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer (AGITATOR) must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer (AGITATOR) has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community (forum) life where people have simply come to accept a situation. Alinsky would say, "The first step in community organization is community disorganization." Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer (AGITATOR) tries to create a "mass army" that brings in as many recruits as possible....snip/ According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. "The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength." "The job of the organizer (AGITATOR) is to maneuver and bait the establishment (forum members) so that it (they) will publicly attack him as a “dangerous enemy.” — P.100 "The organizer (AGITATOR) dedicated to changing the life of a particular community (forum) must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community (forum); fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act". — P.116-117

Is that your excuse for your fits of name calling?
Wall Street owns the country…Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags. The [political] parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us…Money rules. Mary Elizabeth Lease, 1890
Stone has her set up as his dupe in this. I would bear in mind the true source of this stale bait of mammy's and leave her to keep dancing on the puppet strings Stone has on her. She is very eager to suck up to him, as she usually is when she tries unsuccessfully to employ Machiavellian tactics. Have some popcorn and watch these clowns spin their bait and garbage. Because it only affects one if you forget this sort of game only has power if one gives one's power away by lowering oneself to the level of the game players.
You mean, like teabagger?
