THANK YOU SAUL ALINSKY!

He wrote "Rules for Radicals," the playbook of the left and the especially of the Obamunist and his quest to destroy and re-make America into a Marxist state.

But it seems more than the just the left has been reading it.

Kathryn Jean Lopez at NRO:

....from Sixties radical Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals... “We will start with the system because there is no other place to start from except political lunacy. It is most important for those of us who want revolutionary change to understand that revolution must be preceded by reformation. To assume that a political revolution can survive without the supporting base of a popular reformation is to ask for the impossible in politics.”

“Bypass the Gatekeepers.”
“Don’t Wait for Authorization.”
“Target Your Villain.”
“Adapt and Innovate.”
“Embrace the Attacks.”
“Fight Small, Win Big.”

It all sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Again, these are pieces of advice from Kossak-in-chief Markos. But it could very well tell the story of the launch of Breitbart’s Big Government
.

Something happened as folks on the right sat around waiting for Sarah Palin’s next Facebook post, wondering who the next Ronald Reagan would be. Something happened while folks debated death panels, what Rush Limbaugh said at noon that MSNBC or Rahm Emanuel is up in arms about. Something happened while the president of the United States planned his strategy for getting a Washington his party runs to sign up for his health-care revolution.

The stuff of which media revolutions are made happened.
...

The Left clearly wants to advance radical change. Their success is neither imminent nor inevitable. That has something to do with the fact that folks on the right are so obviously tired of the audacity. Of the presidential slights. Many of these are the same people who would have been — or were — standing athwart history yelling Stop! during the Cold War. They believe it’s about liberty and tyranny, as radio-talk-show host Mark R. Levin puts it in the title of his bestselling book.
...
The left-wing emperor issued many orders, but he has no clothes. If you thought the Right wasn’t competing online, and wasn’t capable of doing some organizing of its own, September 2009 has been an education.
