Don't take offense to this, because I mean it as a compliment. Alinsky would be proud of the Tea Party. As a group, they've applied his Rules for Radicals very effectively, and helped turn a popular national establishment figure (Barack Obama) into a subject of derision. I've read Alinksy's work, and no doubt he would be shocked, appalled and impressed that the right was in a position to one day use his weapons on the left.
43% don't like the Tea Party? Yeah? How bad are Obama's numbers? I have a funny feeling that Obama is going to fare much worse in the next election than the Tea Party candidates. So, enjoy that negative number rating. It just means you're making the right enemies.
Laughter is the best medicine, but dose makes the poison.
Have some more "medicine" Barack.
