re: #172 Semper Fi

Not to change the subject but I need a little help. I do not know the definition of “ratfucker.” Could anyone help me on that?

One of the earliest examples on record:

Roger Stone bought a money order (remember those?) in the name of Young Communists League or something like that, as a campaign donation to Eugene McCarthy. Before he mailed it off, he made a bunch of Xerox copies and gave them to various newspapers.

THE COMMUNISTS ARE SUPPORTING MCCARTHY!!

I think it was Stone and Manafort who came up with the name “ratfucking”.
