So Zandra Rice-Hawkins is going to try to Alinsky NH Gov Chris Sununu?

I’m disappointed that both the original posting and response violated the principles of GraniteGrok.

That was my first interaction with Zandra Rice-Hawkins – she almost Alinsky’d me during McCain’s run for Prez when she was fronting for the Socialist-all-in union called the SEIU.  I took a picture of one of her “I’m a healthcare voter” voters – frankly a lard-ass holding two plates of food lumbering across the backyard and Zandra didn’t like it that I put her picture up even as I had blurred out her face.  Zandra attempted to use Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals #4:

Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

I ended up calling HER out instead for lying and misleading people and since 2007 when that post was written, she has continued, as Trump might say, continued to be “Lyin Zandra”. IMHO, it fits.

And now Zandra Rice-Hawkins wants to stalk Alinsky Gov. Chris Sununu?

Reformatted, emphasis mine.  First comes Rule #1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” She wants Sununu to believe she and her group, Granite State Progress, has the power to ruin him by doing the following:

CONCORD, N.H. — A public advocacy group is pledging to follow in the footsteps of Gov. Chris Sununu – literally – in the coming weeks.

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.  He made the claim, after all.

They are demanding he prove his claims that he has broad business support for key proposals like making New Hampshire a right-to-work state, a move that would discourage union membership. Zandra Rice-Hawkins, executive director at Granite State Progress, said this new effort is a follow-up to an open letter the group sent to Sununu several months ago, asking for details about any of the 100 businesses he said he met with.  “[We’re] Calling on him to name the businesses that he continues to say support his agenda,” Rice-Hawkins said. “In three and a half months, the governor has not been able to name a single business to back up his claim that they support his pet projects, and we’re not going to let him off the hook.”

She’s looking to do to Sununu what she TRIED to do to me.  Problem is, most Republicans STILL don’t understand how these Rules are used, don’t know when they are in use, and worse, how to break that use. Also, Sununu and his staff HAVE to understand she will employ RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy” and RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up. They are out to break you / your governorship.  And make Republicans look clueless to boot.

And here’s the stalking part:

Granite State Progress has pledged to visit 100 businesses in 100 days. But, since the governor won’t say which businesses he met with, the group will start by trailing him at all public appearances.

I have a solution for the Guv: RULE 5:

Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

Oh Chris? Hawkins is a self-absorbed, bought-and-paid-for Progressive activist who will NEVER be your friend, will NEVER side with you on anything (even if she appears to be sweet and semi-light), and will put your head on a Progressive pike as easily as smile at you.  Best thing you can do is use Alinsky’s RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” at every opportunity you can.  She hates to be made sport of (it’s great fun and I do enjoy doing it, especially in person when I can see that exasperated look on her face).  She gets all mad, red in the face, and stomps away (trust me, I have watch this happen in person).

Sure, once you do so, she’ll pull out the “little person” card or the “gender” card and any other card out of her deck.  Just remember, that Progressive deck is stacked and marked against you.  Also remember that whatever card she uses as a shield, she’s none of thm – she’s just a political bully and operative that wants to turn NH into yet another illiberal sick Progressive wasteland like California, Illinois, and New York and has earned all the approbation you can muster.  After all, there is no NH Advantage from her perspective – Socialists only know and want to spread misery.

So laugh at her expense.  She’s earned it.

Besides, stalking is a crime right?
