Radio host Glenn Beck said Tuesday that Donald Trump acts like the radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.
"He is Saul Alinsky," Beck insisted of the GOP presidential front-runner on his radio broadcast.
"[Trump] will isolate you and polarize you and he will take you out," Beck said. "He will destroy you. "He is spending money with Tea Party groups and churches and news websites to own them," the conservative pundit added.
Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" has inspired controversy over its principles on income inequality, politics and social justice.
Beck argued that the Republican establishment threatens Trump's lead in the polls at its own peril.
"[The GOP] is making themselves a horrible, horrible bed [if they] run campaigns against him," he said of Trump.
Beck said alienating Trump could prompt the businessman to run as a third party presidential candidate next year -- something that could benefit Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.
"What are the odds that he is a spoiler?" Beck asked of Trump. "What are the odds that he got into this because he's friends with the Clintons and he'll get a massive payback?
"Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton gets in because he ran third party?" he continued. "Do you know the favor they're going to owe him?"
Beck additionally suggested that Trump's policy stances "make no sense."
"He doesn't believe the things that he's saying," he said of the New York business mogul, citing his immigration rhetoric.
Trump has repeatedly warned the Republican National Committee he'll consider a third party run if it does not treat him fairly.
Who listens to Glen Beck these days?
A Saul Alinsky on our side.
IT IS ABOUT TIME!!! Even Beck sees it in him.
“He doesn’t believe the things that he’s saying,”
And he knows this....how?
Who cares what Beck thinks?
I sure don’t.
“[Trump] will isolate you and polarize you and he will take you out.”
Hopefully Beck is next. He’s called Trump an idiot so many times I can’t keep count. If any man in the country deserves to be ruined it’s this crying blowhard.
...........as if ANYBODY with a room temperature IQ would believe a promise from a Clinton.
We finally have a guy who believes in the country as founded, and knows how to use Alinsky tactics to get us back to the principles of the founding, and Glen Beck is upset about it?
“What a disgusting lowlife POS Beck has out turned out to be.”
He sure is. The mans elevator does not go to the top floor.
Himself..
Trump is not nearly smart enough to be Saul Alinsky.
Trump's policies make perfect sense as a populist.
Beck rarely makes any sense. His white horse prophecy candidate (Mittens Romney) turned out to be a unicorn.
>>Radio host Glenn Beck said Tuesday that Donald Trump acts like the radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.
Beck is right. I’ve been saying this from the beginning. Trump is using the full set of Alinsky tactics against the Progs and the media. He isn’t fighting the last war as the other GOP candidates are doing. He is fighting the Progs on their own ground using their own weapons.
After the GOProgs and the Democrats Progs drove all the conservatives out of the race in 2012, I was saying then that we need to go full Alinsky on them if we ever want to win again.
Note to Glenn: Your meds need adjusting AGAIN!
excellent point!
Nah...Alinsky is way more subtle.
One of the most ridiculous comments I’ve ever seen here.
The stuff he said on T.V., that everyone was oh just SO "impressed" with, was stuff I learned in the lower grades of grammar school, which he had just found found out about.
Yes, he was good re Van Jones, but Freepers had already posted that stuff.
He fried his brains with drugs, long ago and now should be locked away in a padded cell.
