It was only a week ago SEIU members lamented that conservatives learned the rules so fast. Indeed. Jim Geraghty over at “The Campaign Spot” has a partial transcript.Big Government’s James O’Keefe, doing the work 60 Minutes just won’t do anymore, is now back with Part 4 … and this involves a California ACORN office, murder and prostitution. Watch it all.

Great post!

The left expect conservative limitations to be the same as theirs.

While the left has to train their operatives, conservatives are instinctive self learners.

We learn the rules faster and play MUCH better once committed to playing the game.

The darned problem is that we waited WAY too long before joining in...

Keep in mind the difference between the two sides: The full rank and file of the Democrat leftists know and follow the rules. Only the grassroots conservatives are willing to fight against them and for the side of truth, by their rules. The GOP is left scratching its head begging Joe Wilson to apologize in front of Pelosi.

The GOP is left scratching its head begging Joe Wilson to apologize grovel obsequiously in front of Pelosi.

Fixed it.

I didn’t know about Alinsky’s rules until sometime
last year. Then it was like the “Millionth Monkey”.
At a synchronous moment, it seemed to occur to
conservatives that this is the way to combat the
enemy in the camp.

It’s a beautiful thing.

It’s a beautiful thing.

I agree that it is. However, we still need a way into the mainstream. So many of my acquaintances only know what they see from Hollywood and network news.

Hit ‘em with their own rule book, so to speak. Make sure it’s a hardcover, though.

It's not just for radical liberals any more!

We are the mainstream. The corporate media represents the minority. As more of us get out there and wave the flag and make the good noise, the more obvious that will be to more and more people.

I wished I believed that we were the mainstream. MSM is not covering, or makes fun of, or dismisses everything that happened in Washington D.C. on 9/12.
I am amazed at how rapidly the word came down to the MSM to stop reporting accurately and how they all switched to never said that mode.
The same thing is true with Charlie Gibson fuss about how he didn’t know about the Acorn story. “I haven’t heard that”.
Chris Wallace does the same thing when interviewed by Steve Malzberg every week. Steve will bring up a point that is hot that week and Wallace will say the “I’ll have to check on that”.
Ridiculous.
