THEY ALSO USE "RULES FOR RADICALS"

(h/t Lee Fang at Think Progress)

For all the grief the radio gasbags like Fats, Hannity & Glenda give liberals for supposedly using Saul Alinsky's book, you'd never know that some major players in the Noise Machine, like James O'Keefe, also use Alinsky's tactics.

David Weigel writes that this isn't merely a case of a few conservatives taking lessons from Alinsky:
How did Republicans get so much better at this stuff? In 2009, after all, they were basically copying the Democrats—or what they thought were Democratic tactics. That was the year when sales of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals surged. FreedomWorks, Dick Armey's Tea Party group, handed out the book to new employees, who went on to train activists.
