Yup.
Attacking your opponent's strengths is a time proven rhetorical strategy.
Swift Boat Vets successfully depicted war hero Sen John Kerry as a pacifist. Ditto Sen Max Cleland.
Sen John McCain was mocked as weak for being a POW.
Ad nauseum.
More nauseating is that it works. "Balanced" media coverage signal boosting the agitprop, muddying the waters, begatting cynicism and apathy.
