Norman Finkelstein 

One of the most intelligent political critics in the USA. Due to his outspoken style and controversial opinions he has been ostracized in political discussion as well as in his profession. Despite being a Jew, he has been labelled as an anti-semite by many for his criticism of Israel.

Norman Finkelstein's assertion of the existence of a Holocaust Industry has caused a great amount of controversy.

Finkelthink 

The modern school of political strategy which holds that, despite conventional belief to the contrary, very few elections are won by convincing supporters of other parties or candidates to support your candidate instead. Finkelthink doctrine holds that - in the modern world - voters' minds are already made up by the time an election begins. The trick instead is /to discourage supporters of your opponent from voting at all/.

To do this, a candidate must run a highly personalized negative campaign against the opponent: dont demonize the party, demonize the candidate. People can be made to hate individuals more easily than institutions (and also with far more animus).

Facts matter little in the Finkelthink model. If some perceptual flaw on an opponent's part can be readily identified, then it can also be magnified by suggestion to catastrophic proportions. Even a 'bad' candidate may win a race handily if - once the unthinking masses have been finkeled with -- his opponent appears prohibitively worse by comparison.

Core principles of Finkelthink:

(1) 80% of the public doesn’t care about the news
(2) Perception, not content, is what matters most to mid-wit viewers
(3) The right 30-second soundbite can manipulate millions to your side (that is, away from the side of your opponent)

Carried out to a sufficient level, Finkelthink and its analogues can transform an apparent buffoon into the next Leader of the Free World.
"Once the Trump campaign was able to convincingly associate Hillary and her staff with corruption, Finkelthink took care of the rest."

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
