#1 IIRC, there were some comments made here on RB very recently about the Saul Alinsky tactics being followed by the WH picking a fight with FNC.

Or maybe I saw it on NRO? Either way, the connection is blatantly obvious. Would make a great story if any news outlet had the balls to do it. Can you hear me FNC?

#2 It was here, eltoreverde, although possibly at the National Review as well. The thought does rather present itself, as you point out.

#3 Just watched the bimbo on MSNBC introduce Jesse Jackson as Rev. Al Sharpton. Guess those biggots can't tell one race hustler from the next? Yeahand FNC is false news outlet. Good laughs!

#4 So how is the Saul Alinsky playbook working for ya. Not so easy in a country as diverse and independent-minded as this, huh? Getting fixed on some ideology such as the Marxist/Communist ideology ends up fixing and isolating you guys. Doesn't seem like public opinion is really going your way. The more you Alinsky's techniques, the more you reveal yourselves. I'm thinking there is going to be a power shift come 2010 if the Republicans can get there stuff together and get off the Rhino wagon and stop trying to look like liberal Democrats. They did pretty well with the Contract with America back in the 1990s once they developed some ideology purity. Or maybe the Teabaggers who you try to demonize as right wing extremists and dumb hicks will get organized and mount a successful Third Party made up of disenchanted Americans (Republicans, Democrats, and Independents). The latter is probably your worst nightmare. Keep pushing because as you push America comes to really know who you are.

#6 Tea Partiers, JohnQC. The other term apparently refers to an obscure deviancy for which the technical Latin will suffice, whatever it might be.
