Alinsky tactic to control the news cycle and deflect from their corruption, Obama failures .

They need a reset after the Obama/Bell tapes, interrupted their last distraction, and left one of their own looking like clowns.

I need to protest here, cuz Alinsky has got a bum rap. His famous work has been merely hijacked by the incompetent. I am in the process of finally reading his entire book, and he has many memorable quotes. the one that applies here is priceless...

"We are not here concerned with people who profess the democratic faith but yearn for the dark security of dependency where they can be spared the burden of decisions [and consequences.] Reluctant to grow up, or incapable of doing so, they want to remain children and be cared for by others. Those who can should be encouraged to grow; for the others, the fault lies not in the system, but in themselves."

How this perfectly applies to the mindless, clueless OWS crowd and their supporters, as well as shabbily worn remnants of the 60s, is nothing short of the ultimate irony.
