NOVEMBER 22, 2014 Alinsky Does Amnesty The only limit on the presidents power that he recognizes is political expediency. By Andrew C. McCarthy
That assertion is not an epithet well, not primarily. True, I would not describe someone I admired as an Alinskyite. Saul Alinsky was a loathsome figure a radical statist who whose toxic brew of thoroughgoing deceit and brass-knuckles extortion (direct action) has become a part of mainstream politics. But in tying the president to the seminal community organizer whose theories and tactics so influenced him, my purpose is more to decode than to insult him.
Of course, calling Obama an Alinskyite draws cataracts of condemnation from the Democrat-media complex for the same reason that Muslim Brotherhood shrieks of Islamophobe! inevitably follow any reasoned, scripturally based discussion of Islamic supremacism. People who advance their agendas in dishonesty and stealth cant afford to have critics shine a light on them. The best diversion is to smear the critic as racist and phobic or as Alinsky, a master of the game, put it, Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Well, this week Alinsky did amnesty, so lets not be diverted.
It was remarkable. Weve endured six years of If you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan, How dare you call Obamacare a tax, The video did it in Benghazi, Of course wed never let guns walk to Mexican gangs, Workplace violence, Kinetic military action, The IRS harassment is outrageous and intolerable, and not a smidgeon of corruption from the most transparent administration in history. Yet what so astonished the commentariat about Obamas decree of amnesty for illegal aliens was the sheer audacity of hoax.

-BHO comments on the matter.
The Alinsky tactics we are seeing now weren’t learned from books, they are coming from someone that knew and was trained by him personally, and that someone is Hillary.
Choom-gangin' his way through high school was an early indicator there.
This is raw theory of power. It could as easily be found in Machiavelli.
It is a powerful way of understanding those in power.
