Default Red meat from redstate

This is a swipe from KOS I thought hysterical:



Well, surprise, surprise, it seems that some on the right actually have
learned something from this election cycle.

I'm sure we all remember Sarah Palin's hateful RNC speech where she
compared herself to Barack Obama by saying that she "guessed" being a
small town mayor was kinda, sorta, yup, yup, you betcha like being a
community organizer, except with "actual responsibilities." Oh, how the
Republicans laughed at the stupid community organizer who thought his
stupid organizing abilities could win him the Presidency. The extremely
white GOP got a good laugh at the idea that a black man with experience
in motivating and organizing urban communities to action could translate
into success in electoral politics.

Well, they're not laughing anymore. In fact, it looks like at least a
few have figured out the joke's on them if tonight's foray to Redstate
blog is any indication. In a discussion about the future of their woeful
party, I learned several are reading Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals"
and hoping to use Obama's playbook to defeat us next time:

I agree with you--and look forward to an engaging discussion on
conservative principles and issues.

But I wonder if we need some thoughtful discussion on tactics. I
have been reading Alinsky and have come to realize that the current
Democrat victories are linked to smart tactics described by Alinsky 37
years ago.

I wouldn't propose that we use the Radical's tactics, but we better
learn from them and develop tactics of our own for dealing with our
current situation.

I was thinking about reading Alinsky

How pertinent are you finding him? I'm especially thinking about
community organizing and whether or not we could put that to use.

Luckily for us, most GOPers are too stupid to recognize a good idea when
they hear one, judging by this follow-up comment:

You should read Rules for Radicals as a know your enemy course. You
can't use it much to organize the kinds of people Republicans draw from
though. It really only works with the young, the poor, the stupid, or,
preferably, those who are a combination of those.

Thank God there are so many of us "young, poor and stupid people" around
and we can now sit back and laugh at all of the old, rich and
oh-so-intelligent citizens who voted for McCain/Palin. It does make me
smile, though, that they are eating their anti-community organizer words
and I just wanted to share this.

The Kos?? Yeah, they are about as honest as you are but don't fret,
after the fairness doctrine (censorship doctrine) is passed this will
be the only news we will have... Pffffttttt...

If the possibility of reinstating the fairness doctrine drives you as
nutso as it seems to, well, then, it is worth reimposing.


Yes, in a typically selfish manner you are willing to throw out the
Constitution just for your own personal satisfaction... We know Harry,
as long as you have yours..

Ya know, Scotty, I'm pretty liberal in nature, but that fairness
doctrine is a bunch of crap! When liberal thinking people go so far
overboard, it ****es me off because then people who are not liberal
tend to lump us all together and claim we are ignorant. I overheard a
debate on the radio last night where one dude was espousing the good
of the fairness doctrine. He came off sounding like an idiot.

*From what little I read about it, reimposition of the doctrine would
require broadcast stations to broadcast competing views on the issues of
the day. So?


You should really get informed about the issues before you spout off,
seems to be a trend... Are you sure you graduated High School?
