All of us planning to attend a Tea Party should be aware of the rules under which our opposition operates. Fairness and decency are not in their playbook. I encourage you to familiarize yourselves with this playbook .....and be prepared. Remember: know their rules, but don't play by their rules. Never wrestle with a pig ......you get filthy, and the pig likes it.

I would change that to...apply “Lawyer Think” to the rules.

Learn them, apply them constantly and use them to your advantage. It works.

All neocons should read “Rules for Radicals” and use it in their everyday fight.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Read this book. Every democrat member of congress knows the contents of this book and obeys them.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Everyone attending a tea party should use Rule #11:

Pick a target,freeze it,personalize it,polarize it. Don’t try to attack a corporation or bureaucracy. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

That means these signs should be BLASTING, with extreme prejudice, every elected official involved with this stupid stimulus plan.

In central Texas my sign will directly attack Lloyd Dogget.

Counterrules to Alinsky’s rules. Alinsky assumes you never fight back. Your biggest weapon is pointing out their hypocrisy.

COUNTERRULE 1: Give them power way beyond what they have - then paint them as a thug, oppressor, and a mafia organization.

COUNTERRULE 2: Turn their expertise against them by pointing out the hypocrisies and contradictions within their own belief system.

COUNTERRULE 3: Use absurdity to defeat absurdity. Push them into moral arguments and away from policy arguments. Always try to paint them as a religious organization and bash them for violating separation of church and state.

COUNTERRULE 4: Make them live by the same rules you do.

COUNTERRULE 5: Ridicule them back by pointing out the one-sidedness of their ridicule and the free pass they give their own side.

COUNTERRULE 6: Let their tactics blow up in their faces by staying a step ahead and funneling them to the place of hanging themselves with their own rope.

COUNTERRULE 7: Liberals never obey rule 7. Use it against them.

Reading it now - it’s shocking to see how closely this parallels obama’s campaign and now the administration.

[Darwin Fish]

Works for Romney haters.

Saul Alinsky is the American version of Karl Marx. Once this is completely understood, everything else falls into place.

All of us planning to attend a Tea Party should be aware of the rules ...

Would it be advisable to have an "Official Videograhper" on hand to record the opposition's bad behavior?

[Jess Kitting]

Why can't we use these tactics against liberals and Democrats? They are masters at using them against us.

Our side plays fair and always gets burned.

Maybe it's time we give liberals a taste of their own medicine.
