Re #5, Ridicule: Good points: It’s all about pride and frustration and being seen as desperate to defend oneself. If you are on the defensive you are not in control and are seen as weak and any attempts you make to counter the argument can easily be “ridiculed” again.

I can attest it's hard not to be defensive with a flaming lib.

Understand that it’s not about “truth”.

It’s about Pride.

They are susceptible to the same human emotions and the predictable responses that we are.

“Are you kidding?”, “really?”, “climate change is a bigger problem than ISIS?”, “you really believe that?”. “you have know clue”, “Only complete idiots believe that”.

I idea is to undermine their confidence in their positions, not with facts but with the authority of ridicule.

Tell them that they are tools to believe what the “government” is telling them.

Exploit their nature tendency’s to believe in conspiracies.

RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

The Progressives almost always fail at RULE 11.

They really don't have successful counter argument because they're platforms are all socialist, which are doomed to fail. That's why they're so invested in destroying America by creating crisis, class warfare - 'tear it down' and have the people begging for socialism/communism/fascism/tyranny - someone or some entity to fix it.

Between Cloward-Piven and Alinsky, Obama and his ilk hope to accomplish their ends of fundamentally transforming our 5000 year miracle, the United States of America.

We are at War with the Left.

Fight like your kids lives depend on it. . because they do.

5. .... “It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.”

I have used the word “enemy” referencing Democrats and heard objections from some here. But what would you call someone who wants to cause the loss of things that other Americans have risked their lives to preserve?

Anyway, an example of the above (”concessions”): Brian Williams.

Williams, a key Inner UniParty member and MSM operative was lambasted here and many other places and his allies were unable to save him due to the effectiveness of ridicule directed against this enemy of liberty.
Usually they take a little heat, then are back on the job.
But not this time because even Democrats looked at him and imagined him thinking out loud about fantastical Rambo exploits.
A lot like lesbian butch archetype Hillary Clinton bounding—really stretching those muscular cankles—and zig-zagging down a runway, attempting to dodge heavy sniper fire ... whoa,
hey! Like Obama and Williams, also a legend .... in her own mind. There it is.
In sum, as Will Rogers put it, “I just watch the government and report the facts.”

It is probably one of the most amoral, twisted works I have ever read. Given that Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer, I shouldn’t be surprised. The dedication was taken out of later editions so as not to offend the clergy he was attempting to recruit, but the version I read had it. Apparently, it was a copy from the 1980's, and they figured it was safe to put it back in.

I tried reading it a few years ago, and couldn't finish it for pretty much the reasons you listed here. It's a view of a sick, evil mind at work. It's not even logically consistent, which is probably one reason why liberals seem to adore it.

Thanks for the ammo Ray. Good links! Shoebat seems like a good man and the US/Iran phased in nuclear deal seems like a national emergency.

Now I know why it seems like there's 'something every day' from Obama. It's straight out of Alinsky! 700 or some such days left? That's a Long time. . How much damage is he going to do? We sent a message to the new Congress to STOP OBAMA! There's no evidence they are taking a national emergency stonewall stand with Obama.

Don't they get it? It's one minute to midnight Congress! No, not from the outside, from the White House! STOP OBAMA'S Fundamental Transformation of our great country!

Good points. They're low information brain washed socialists. A little ridicule will be effective, even though it's not in a lot of our comfort levels. 'Alinksy back at them' as needed.

The more I think about this, our important task is to educate and inform our youth, and by that I mean kids up to to 30. The typical 20 something gets their news from 'apps' and comedy central, but, in my experience, are amenable to discussion if approached in a reasonable manner. . It takes effort on our part to 'break the ice' with them.

Bravo! It is time to dissect, slice and dice this operator’s manual for the Left. They have been running on it for 40 years. It is time we dump it in the ash can of history.

The thing about it is the book not only advocates, but admiringly promotes despicable human behavior, all the dishonorable things in life that moral parents teach their children to avoid doing.

It disgusted me. There is only one other work I have ever read that made me struggle with the value of reading it, even though I forced myself to finish it: “Dreams of My Father”.

There are those here at FR that use those tactics to silence others.

Equally stunning...

Good pic. Yes, Alinksy and Marx determine his conscious mind and superego. Seeds of destruction. . . 622 more Days of Obama. Will we make it?

It is almost impossible to use #4 against the left because their own book of rules is so ever-changing that you can never pin them down.

This is why the left cannot govern. They have no principles for guidance, only grievances. Much better as agitators.

True, I have seen it here. I have seen it everywhere, as a matter of fact.

That said, I think it is one thing to use those tactics as a result of personal failing and weakness, and quite another to hold them up as something to aspire to use deliberately to reach a desired goal.

The comments with the parentheses are not those of the poster Art In Idaho. They are what was listed from Best of Beck site he had linked to
