RULE 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
The following is a list of Alinskys rules for upheaval, (see article for entire list):
RULE 1: Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.
RULE 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
RULE 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon.
RULE 8: Keep the pressure on. Never let up.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Of these, Rules 4, 5, 8, and 12 have been used to greatest effect by the Left.
"If your opponent [has a hot temper], seek to irritate him. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared; appear where you are not expected. (Book I, Verses 22-24)"
Barack Obama taught a class on using Alinsky principles to keep the nation in chaos. After all, its easier to get radical policies enacted during a crisis.
There is a fundamental difference between Alinski and Sun Tsu:
The Rules for Radicals is about politics ... verbal rhetoric.
The Art of War is about war ... physical destruction.
Do the math.
