>Outrage over hypocrisy is a juvenile emotion.<

While I can see your point in part, can you explain why liberal outrage at every gaffe of target conservatives is a tenet of Alinsky’s rule stating (to paraphrase) “make your enemy live up to his ideals”? Has that rule not been effective in the past, juvenile or not?

No. I can't. It certainly seems childish though, and I am hesitant to emulate them.
