The Sarahphobes will use anything they can get their hands on to defeat her. Especially Alinsky tactics.
Saul Alinsky was ultimately quite shallow minded. This can be seen throughout his thinking.
But the particular idea of attacking his enemy by holding them to their own standard is highly flawed.
Alinsky based this tactic on his misunderstanding of Christianity. Alinsky thought the Christian’s weakness was in the fact that the Christian cannot live up to Gods’ laws. Yes, the Christian is a sinner to his core. But Alinsky never grasped the concept that the Christian has been justified by faith, since Christ defeated sin on the cross.
In the secular (political) world, a person’s allegiance to truth corresponds with the Christian’s faith in Christ.
This explains how the Alinskyite can never really defeat his “enemy” by “holding him to his own standard,” if in doing so the Alinskyite bears false witness. In his own lies, he defeats himself.
Honesty brings absolute victory. Sarah Palin’s greatest strength is her allegiance to the truth.
