Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago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.
Clintons 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 Clintons 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.

Hillary is a radical. Nobody can ever say she’s a centrist or anything of the sort. SHE’S A FULL BLOWN COMMIE SHE-WITCH!!!
Hillary is a leftist radical, a congenital liar, and an ugly, obnoxious drunk dressed in a smelly pantsuit.
IIRC, she met with him during an airport layover.
which is why we need to send stuff like this to every one we each know
Well there it is! Though we knew anyway. Trouble is the same people who voted for Obama will usher Hillary ‘s run because frankly they don’t care one way or another of her past, or for that matter her present.
So we have one or two and they have thousands? Sounds fair.
Isn’t she love...ly?
Isn’t she won...der...ful?
Blech.
She should have ponied up a million dollars like BO did and have her records sealed. How can they find all this on her and zero on the zero in the WH? It’s just not fair.
My experience of a university community was limited to UC Irvine, so I was alarmed when I realized what I had driven into.
Parked at a service station and before I got to the window to pre-pay, two thugs walked - one either side of my car - towards me.
I fled and luckily made it to a safer location to fill up.
Berkeley is a cesspool
Hillary would fit right in there.
Although I thought that in her salad days she was a Goldwater Girl.

“The lefties will see this (these letters to/from Alinsky) as resume enhancers.”....
ROTFLOL...but it’s true!
Comrade Hillary Clinton reaps the benefits of her business partner, Bill Clinton: impeached and disbarred rapist and sexual predator.
The METHODIST Connection.
Too many “mainline” Christian sects have been infiltrated by subversive, anti-western liberals - United Church of Christ, ECLA, United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Churches, and Episcopalians, even the Catholic Church with its current liberation theology Pope, Mary Knolls and Jesuits.
Instead of fighting sin, evil, and growing Islamization, they are fighting for illegal aliens, gay “rights” civilian disarmament, “climate change”, wealth redistribution and other items from the Marxist-Socialist agenda. No wonder they ignore the growing threat of state sponsored atheism in the west.
He offered me the chance to work with him when I graduated from college, and he was disappointed that I decided instead to go to law school, she wrote.
Alinsky said I would be wasting my time, but my decision was an expression of my belief that the system could be changed from within.
And Hillary was correct.
(per the other thread) It was just a guess, but looks like I was in the ballpark...
