Glenn Beck highest ratings ever--Alinsky treatment flops

The group Color of Change has recently spearheaded a campaign to silence Glenn Beck but unfortunately for them, his tv ratings on Fox are the best ever. Color of Change has been active against Fox tv in general, having called on all 2008 candidates to refuse to appear on the channel for debates (claiming Fox was against blacks).

• Van Jones, one of Obama's private czars in the White House, is a co-founder of the group Color of Change. No claim that he's still involved.

• Saul Alinsky was the father of community organizing and wrote an instruction book on the topic:

• Saul Alinsky Rule #13 in Rules for Radicals:

"13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'...

• "...any target can always say, 'Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?'

• When your 'freeze the target,' you disregard these

• [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the 'others' come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...'

• "One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other." (pps.127-134)
