Alinsky said it: “make the enemy live up to its own book of rules”.
I hate that detestable piece of human excrement, his work, and all people who subscribe to his theories.
That said, as I facetiously suggested in my post about accusing them of microagression, I can appreciate the entertainment provided by the irony of seeing them hoisted on their own petard.
But I will say, having read “Rules For Radicals”, I feel that I would rather go down swinging in failure than win using those guidelines. Ugh. I HATED it. Forcing myself to get all the way through it was a real chore.
