Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her early ideological development.
Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing.
Clinton’s relationship with Alinsky, and her support for his philosophy, continued for several years after she entered Yale law school in 1969, two letters obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
The letters obtained by the Free Beacon are part of the archives for the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training center for community organizers founded by Alinsky, which are housed at the University of Texas at Austin.
The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clinton’s early political viewsthan previously known.
A 23-year-old Hillary Clinton was living in Berkeley, California, in the summer of 1971. She was interning at the left-wing law firm Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein, known for its radical politics and a client roster that included Black Panthers and other militants.
On July 8, 1971, Clinton reached out to Alinsky, then 62, in a letter sent via airmail, paid for with stamps featuring Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and marked “Personal.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Seems every lefty is a damn commie or muzzie or both these days.
But the question is — will the MSM even mention this subject?
I have never heard one word in the MSM about Saul Alinsky and his influence upon both Hillary and Obama.
The only places I have heard about Alinsky is on conservative oriented sites such as this, and some talk radio programs.
I think it is rather "hillarious" that as much as she had absorbed from Alinsky and was well on her way to becoming President First Radical it was Obama, the kingpin Radical, who got there first.
The uninformed won’t care, unfortunately. The name “Saul Alinsky” won’t register and the MSM won’t cover it. So many of them only care about the name and what they think she stands for
Free Beacon is basically an oppo research operation. They have been delivering. Big time.
Bump
(She even scares peeps on her own side.)
The American people are incapable of changing their little minds about HRC. They truly “admire” her even if they don’t why.
which is why we need to send stuff like this to every one we each know
“Seems every lefty is a damn commie or muzzie or both these days.”
That’s not a new development, though the muzzie part is.
Yep that’s right. I violated political correctness here. Off I go to reeducation camp...........
Totally agree. There are “Ready for Hillary” signs and bumper stickers everywhere. Nobody outside of FR and real conservatives know exactly who she is and what she really stands for.
The MSM knows who Alinksy is... they don’t mention him because it would hurt democrats with voters.
Not at all surprising. Socialists and Liberals are like Muslims: they willingly and instinctively lie to everyone when those lies serve their ulterior purposes. One simply CANNOT trust either a Muslim OR a Liberal. They are both malignancies best cut out and destroyed.
