Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

RULE 12: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works

Thank God! Someone else who has looked into Alinsky. Should be required reading for pedes.

A lot of us have read Andrew Breitbart, and he goes into Alinsky quite a bit.

we should do this. whenever they criticize a republican protest call it a peaceful protest. The bundys were a peaceful protest. If it if they talk about the Charlottesville rally just characterized it as a mostly non-racist protest

Saul Alinsky's rules can be used against his own practitioners. Simply begin returning the favor. However, it needs to be coordinated and planned accordingly. Conservatives aren't as organized as they are when it comes to disruption. That is the main reason they do not want us to organize on sites like these. Because they know, once the conservatives get organized it is game on.
