Rush Just Issued A Request To Debate Barry

[paulycy]

Alinsky wouldn't last five minutes against Sun Tzu

Great point. Alinsky's tactics, like many on the left, count on the people remaining ignorant and not catching on to what is happening.

But those who DO watch and understand the symptoms can combat it much more effectively than the perp can carry it on.

I have watched Obama in unscripted situations and without a speech and his teleprompter he isn't much. He fumbles for words and he doesn't seem to be able to think quickly on his feet.
His answers in a debate with Rush, Sean Hannity or anyone that is good enough to think quickly would be disjointed and he would fall back on the old same stale answers the Liberals always have.

Alinsky wouldn't last five minutes against Sun Tzu...

Then I guess Alinsky's followers are pretty lucky they're competing against us, aren't they?

FWIW, Sun Tzu wasn't a politician -- you'd best be careful when trying to apply his ideas in that realm. Alinsky's approach is probably more effective when one doesn't have the option of killing those who get in one's way.

Did you hear Rush say: “you don’t need to hide behind your ballerina?”.....(refering to Rahm?)....Rush is firing broadside!

Rush included a photo of Rahm in his ballerina days:

You don't need to kill your enemy in order to destroy them...Decrediting is just as effective. See "Rules for Radicals" No. 12...

Decrediting = Discrediting

Aw, fu......dge. The old lady flashes me getting out of the shower and I'm distracted from the troll roast. Oh well, boys gotta be boys.

What a flamer! Probably why zero picked him. Michelle “proud for the first time” zero is just cover for zero’s true inclinations.

Not at all. Alinsky's tactics count on the patience of those who practice them, and their ability to remain focused on the long-term goal. His approach is to gain control of the system, thereby to control the agenda. His approach also looks for advancement through incremental gains -- which is why patience and a long view are essential.

Keeping the voting public ignorant cerainly makes things easier ... but it's not essential to their approach.

But those who DO watch and understand the symptoms can combat it much more effectively than the perp can carry it on.

That's true -- but the problems we conservatives have include lack of patience, lack of a coherent long-term agenda, and a tendency to go for the Big Win which, even if we seem to achieve it, is never as permanent as we seem to think it is.

As things stand now, the left has largely achieved the Alinsky goal of gaining control of the process and agenda. And, fwiw, their span of control includes the news and entertainment media, which is far more important to their long-term aims than mere Washington politics.

“Thanks, but I will not need a menu tonight, Guido. I'll go with the “special”: pan seared troll in an ozone reduction, steamed mixed vegans, with a glass of something interesting to match. Oh . . . and may I have a basket of those fruit-nut rolls to start? Thanks.”

I can always tell when the GossipRocks forums are down. (/s)

Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.

Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

INCONCEIVABLE.

Correction: Incontheivable.

(Doh!)

You are right. Please forgive my having transposed the Florin and Guilder dialects. lol

The 0ne vs Rush:

Vizzini The 0ne: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.

Westley Rush: You're that smart?

Vizzini The 0ne: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

Westley Rush: Yes.

Vizzini The 0ne: Morons.

It only gets better from there.

[NonLinear]

I fail to see how Rush arguing against Obama will do any good for anyone.

I have no idea why you addressed this to me.

[NonLinear]

Whoops! Was in the process of typing Darkwing104 and got interrupted after getting as far as “Dark”

But welcome to the thread!

That’s it. You have bested my best. No one can top that.

[rabscuttle385]

Shouldn’t we be focusing on more productive things than getting the president to debate an entertainer?

Obama debating Rush is like you going up against many hungry Viking kittens. Inevitably, the results will be...not so good, for Obama and for you.
