Reverse Alinsky?

TigerHawk knows what he's talking about. He's on to what terrifies Obama & Co. more than anything; namely, that Saul Alinsky's rules will be applied against THEM by their opponents. Indeed, to a certain extent, this is already happening:

1. "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have."

2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."

3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty."

4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
8. "Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose."

9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."

10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
