"One of Alinsky's rules, or "power tactics" (his phrase), was: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. We see that tactic used over and over by the Obama/Pelosi administration -- regarding, for instance, Republicans, Bush I, Dick Cheney, "right-wing tea-baggers," evangelicals, the Supreme Court, Sarah Palin, "fat cat bankers," Fox News, etc. Maybe over-use of such tactics by Alinsky disciples helps explain the collapsing public support they face."

Yes, be on the lookout for this activity. Try to analyze a situation and predict the application of this Alinsky rule. An excellent example: Juan Williams on Fox Sunday, the morning after Palin spoke to a Tea Party convention. If you were aware of this "rule", you were expecting it when Juan attacked the Tea Party by immediatly naming Palin "the leader of the Tea Party" and proceeding to attack her. They are very effective at this technique and need to be called on it's use. The MSM won't do so; they use the same technique.

This economic downturn is falling especially hard on men.

When will we begin to hear the plaintive cry that "men and children are hardest hit?"
