"It's kind of scary! They have learned all of the tricks." (Alinsky Model)

Use their vocabulary.

This is one of the keys. Calling them mean-spirited, fascist, anti-free speech, etc. is not only truthful, but it makes them crazy. And as David Horowitz noted on Glenn Beck's show last week, throwing leftists off balance by attacking them in a way they don't expect is crucial.

I like this comment:

"... And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them."

Judges 15:11

I like the name “regressives”... sounds so stone age and moldy, like marxist policies.

“Great observation. Ridicule is the key.”

Just laugh, slap your knee and say “that’s really funny, what a great sense of humor.”

It gets them right there, don’t it.

New tagline Sunday....

Truth is a bitch!

Geeze! And this Marxist mistakes it for a Saul Alinsky attack!

[richiep]

Very Good!

Now if only we can get the milquetoast Republicans in congress to speak above a whisper.

The thing with Ridicule, it can be done with facts and truth and they can't refute it....
With Ridicule, it brings the downfall of what they hold dear, themselves as godlike and it breaks the bubble of their self invisibility.

Yes, and we will smite them with it!

"Now if only we can get the milquetoast Republicans in congress to speak above a whisper."

The Republicans have been infiltrated like every other organization that we have in America. The few that have not sold out are targets. These totalitarian thugs have brought down entire companies and have ruined thousands of careers.

The American people standing up is the only thing that works any longer. Even the intelligence community is being targeted. Our officials have a Chicago gun at their backs.

Glenn Beck is absolutely correct in his understanding that we are the real force that is driving his points home by networking and helping him get the facts.

... he was just the first person to put it all down in one convenient handbook digestible to the brown acid users.

I recently read his book. Found it pretty short on literary merit. Maybe that "brown acid" makes it more coherent.

Like you say, Alinsky didn't bring much to the party. For instance, you can see the so-called Alinsky rules at work in George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm.

Finding and reading the source article was worth it. It is exasperating sometimes to slog through a couple of blogs telling me what to think about an article before I find the link to read it myself.

Here you have a very small collection of leftist nuts leading their constituents, who don’t know Saul Alinsky from Adam, around by the nose. If average Dems knew the contempt their anointed leaders have for them, they wouldn’t be so eager to vote for them. But that is why they vote for Marxists... because they’re clueless. The ignorati.

Press was oriented to NOT find anything out. In fact, ironically, Van Jones’ statements about Republicans being A-holes and his being a truther, probably saved Obama for the time being. Because quite honestly, people are pissed that Obama would bring into his inner circle a man who is a radical communist, who hates white people, and claims whites are poisoning “colored” communities! By making the spin revolve around his foul mouth and trutherism, it allows them to overlook the real offense, he’s anti-American. And no one wants to ask why the President of the United States would bring someone into the WH who has such hatred for this country.

Well put comment on news article thread.

Why indeed - we obviously have an America hating president who will exercise power to destroy this nation as long as he "serves" in office. The preponderance of evidence supports this conclusion. Eh?
