The leftist Alinskyist Rooters again coming out with a venus-fly-trap article.

Nowhere does it say that the right used OWS tactics at the Wisconsin state house, nowhere does it say the right daily spit out it’s rigid talking points, nowhere does it say they used strong-arm thug tactics. It mainly used the “Walker Outspends” meme, all the while not including PAC money, and of course not including all the money that would be helping Barrett if the DNC did not pull out.

This article is a venus-fly-trap, with a hidden agenda for the Fall - a thin-veiled attempt to try to win back the indies for zer0, by saying “see looky here, we’re all thugs now”.

No, the tea party tactics are NOT thug/Alinsky tactics. It’s has been, it is, and it should be a BIG differentiator.

Conservatives used tactics of the left in Wisconsin win

But I didn't hear about any County GOP Official with a ballot box in the trunk of his car (snicker)

Oh, you`re absolutely right! The Tea Party and OWS thugs couldn`t be more different. But what I took away from it was the TP employed certain tactics they could use, such as the face-to-face, GOTV efforts, the mechanics of which have been up `til now used mainly by the community organizers.

Look what happened last week in Boston.. Axelrod was thrown back on his ass in shock when Romney backers challenged him with chants, drowning him out. I see this as huge, because it`s a first. It signals the GOP is finally growing a pair. The dems are getting payback at long last.

I personally don`t care if Reuters credits Alinsky or not for the WI result. Point is.. the good guys broke through the GOTV code there, and hopefully that may unlock long-held dem territory nationwide.

The dinosaurs can call it what they wish, doesn't mean it's true. Kind of like Liberal tolerance. But as more people enter the trenches beside the Tea folks, word of mouth and networking let even more know that we are simply Liberty minded men and women, (and probably a few of the confused), that love the country for the principles it was founded upon.
