Well, it's about freaking time. I was wondering how long it would take the Republicans (and even a few folks around here) to stop whining about the rats' use of Alinsky tactics (as if they were classified materials available only to the rats) and start employing them themselves AGAINST the rats.
Now, the day I see conservative activists employ "the diamond tactic" at a big public gathering I will really be impressed.
First was when I served jury duty on an aggravated sexual assault case. We all knew the guy was guilty as sin, but only three of us knew he deserved life in prison (the highest we could give him). By accident we were sitting opposite from each other, but we verbally supported what the other had to say. After a few votes the group began to see it our way. As it was happening I realized we were using Alinsky's tactic. The perp got slammed with life in prison.
The other time was when a group of us parents were fighting a really bad sex ed program, we decided to "pass the football around," a technique we made up which consisted of taking control of the debate at the meeting by verbally talking to each other as if no one else was in the room. It worked like a charm. We did a few other things that frustrated their entire effort. The program was eventually pulled. Our whole effort was a real blast.
The first thing you have to realize is that you don't need to be afraid. These people, INCLUDING Barack Obama are actually paper tigers.
Know your enemy. Plan your tactics. Work your plan. Fearlessly.
They will fall before they know it.
