Over at Redstate there’s a great guide on how to ruin a professional agitation group’s day. The author, Moe Lane, nails it:

These groups use strategic camera shots, a largely disinterested local press looking for local color, and a general lack of counter-protesters to come across as more powerful and effectual than they actually are. Right now they can get away with getting twenty people out to a local event and calling it “grassroots activism.” Make it clear that they’re ridiculously outnumbered, and they’ll have to start spending more and more resources to accomplish their goals, such as they are.

He’s absolutely right: Groups such as ACORN and their thinly veiled fronts (like Act Now) effectively exploit local media. Speaking of which, the NY Gathering of Eagles successfully demonstrated the rules’ effectiveness in Commack, NY.

Time to deliver some well-deserved verbal smackdowns and to counter the effects of lies and agitprop.
