Actually, you're missing your own point. If Alinsky's rules can apply to grassroots with any goal with any objective (which they don't), and if you believe that the Tea Party is doing just that without even reading and applying Alinsky's rules, then why is it necessary to read his version? If it is so natural that organizations do so in a spontaneous way, his rules are superfluous.
If you're suggesting that there are these universally natural methods interweaved in his otherwise RADICAL treatise, what is the benefit to reading it just to pick out the "good" stuff? Are the NEA members so stupid that they can't do what comes naturally to others, but must read a radical treatise and then be smart enough to pick out the simply organizational stuff and disregard the point of his rules? Are there other manuals of organization that are not politically oriented to which the members can be referred?
