As soon as this column by Andrew Brietbart reached an audience - probably sometime early Sunday - it was making news. Bloggers were talking first. It was everywhere on talk radio yesterday and on Fox News during prime time. The column is another fine analysis of how the left uses the tactics developed by Chicago's Saul Alinsky, the "father of community organizing" and how and why those tactics may be turning on Democrats.
If you were tuned into politics in the '90s, you already know about the "politics of personal destruction" as practiced by the Clinton administration. It comes from Rule 12 in Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and was practiced extensively against George Bush. But Bush is out of the picture now and the flailing about for new victims has exposed the leftist strategy for the pure, destructive hatred that it is. Breitbart has hit a nerve.
James Taranto has a nice followup article in today's Opinion Journal.
