Your snide, off-topic, irrelevant, attacking comment directly displays the same communist tactics that the article discusses; the same tactics that Saul Alinsky consolidated in his Rules for Radicals, which has been the playbook for the communists for the past forty years or so.

Palin also has something else, something not possessed by previous targets. She has a following. All previous figures had their admirers, and Reagan led a movement. But none had or has what Palin has -- a large group of people who look up to her, who view her as an example and a role model, who bleed when she bleeds and hurt when she hurts. It is those people who should be left to handle Palin's attackers.
They also provide larger possibilities. Republicans have never struck back against these attacks, lacking the means in a media-dominated political world. But now the means do exist, in the form of millions armed with access to the net and Twitter. What would happen if these people were turned on the next crowd who attacked Palin or any other politician?
Liberals are vulnerable. Consider Steven Cohen, soon to be ex-representative from Tennessee, who backed off from his rancid little Republicans-are-Nazis shtick as soon as the spotlight was shined on him. One thing we must never forget about leftists is their essential cowardice. They strike only as part of a mob, never on their own two feet. (Isn't that right, Larry O.?)
I leave the details and self-organizing to the people involved. I'm sure they're far better at that than I am.
The new technologies, together with the political will embodied in the Tea Parties, offer us a means of breaking this squalid liberal tactic and restoring a sense of balance to the political debate. It is never a good thing when a political party has access to non-political means to achieve its goals. The liberal Democrats have been abusing their exclusive access to media for close to sixty years. It's past time they were pulled up short.
Several of the comments also support his observations regarding Sarah Palin's following, by their criticizing him for comparing Palin with McCarthy, which he didn't do.
Interesting times we are living in.
Sarah Palin needs to renounce the Law of the Sea Treaty, which she has supported and make it known she is against Rockefeller globalism.
Until she does, she is generally as dangerous and wrong as the Bushes.
