From the article:

Alinsky's 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals," is a favorite of the Obamas. Michele Obama quoted it at the Democratic Convention. One Alinsky tactic is to "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." That's what the White House did in targeting Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer. (The president's press secretary, Robert Gibbs, went so far as to lash all three from the White House press podium.) It may also explain Mr. Obama's comments to Mr. DeFazio.

Once, years ago, I read that the U.S. took Germany's WWII blitzkrieg tactics, improved upon them, and used them to win.

It seems to me that if we wish to defeat the left, we have to do the same thing - study their tactics, improve them, and win.

The only problem I see in that is that the left seems inclined toward group actions, whereas the rest of us are (IMO) of a more independent nature.
