Isn't any group without clear leadership nothing more than a "mob" or a group of "anarchists".  If the Tea Party doesn't have any true leadership are they nothing more than an angry mob shouting out against what they perceive to be rules and regulations.

As for attacking one's opponant, that's what our current news services and government calls, "mud slinging" and "smear campaigns".  The more one defends himself, the more the people that view taht person to be guilty.  Because if your not guilty, why feel the need to defend oneself or that persons actions.

Sort of like the more republicans attack the democrats, the more the democrats would have to defend their actions, making them look like their guilty of some crime.  Even when no crime has been committed.

So you always have to attack attack attack, to keep your opposition off balance, so they can't plan anything else.  Which is the current proposition that the republican and Tea Party's are doing.  Attack the opposing forces until people have enough doubt, hatred, or belief that those they are attacking are guilty.

Oh and Alinsky was a plagarist.  Every paragraph and chapter is in direct relation to one other book from history.

Sun Tzu's Art of War.  Alinsky's work is nothing more than Sun Tzu translated into political bullshit.
