Should Christians Use Saul Alinsky’s Tactics in Exposing Corruption?

No.

Just because some sixties wormface wrote down some supposed "rules" does not mean the "rules" work.

Alinsky was just a wormface and not a brilliant one.

A lot of it is simply insisting that hypocrites not be hypocrites.

While I would not call Alinsky brilliant, it is because I disagree with the premise of his tactics.

Isolation of the person stifles debate on the issues by rendering even the good ideas a person has moot because of the source.

That does not mean Alinsky's tactics are not effective among an unaware, media driven population (they are), and I have even seen them used right here on FR.

Dismissing an enemy's methods because you disagree with their cause will get one no where.

There are many behaviours our opposition engage in which should be sufficient in and of themselves to cause Alinsky style isolation among the politicians, but the media routinely dismiss or ignore such behaviours among some while calling for the resignation of others for the same behaviour (or less).

The problem si one of perception, and Alinsky merely compiled ways to manipulate that perception in the public mind.
