Rules for Radicals

###

Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 11:

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

These Rules for Radicals will work just as well on Liberals. Actually better. They are less mentally stable and will react, well, more radically than conservatives who usually don't give a rip about most of these issues. These Rules are the epitome of dirty fighting and personal destruction. They are effective because decent people simply don't think or live this way. We need to throw this stuff back at them. These Leftist media fools have reputations too. Go for them and make them understand that its a two way street.

Good lord....this is what has become of MSNBC?

Instead of covering real news in the world or doing real investigative journalism, they go after silly comments on FR(that very well might have been done by DU provocateurs)? This is news?

It’s petty and partisan poppycock.
