————I see more and more of folks referencing Alinsky’s “rules” and purporting that Obama or the left are using this one or that one.

As if these “rules” meant anything.-————

That may miss the point.

-—————Has this “Alinsky” methodology ever been shown to actually WORK?-——————

I can’t think of very many elected officials who have actively and openly attacked the liberal media besides Sarah Palin. Can you?

Again, the question I asked in the original posting.

Do you wonder why republicans act so cowardly all the time? It’s the media.

Oh, and one more thing. Who’s president right now?

Is that one of the Alinsky rules? I thought they were used by the left. What is your point?

Again, what does that have to do with Alinsky?

There's a picture of Obama teaching the Alinsky method = it's classic "community organizer" stuff.

And yeah - his ideas work. Alinsky and Obama lived in the same neighborhood and Hyde Park is infused with Alinsky’s methods - it's the mother's milk of modern liberal radicals.

Hillary Clinton wrote here thesis on Alinsky. He was THE MOST influential thinker of the modern left. That said, Alinsky wrote for the powerless to confront the powerful - and in today's world the powerful and corrupt are the liberals. I don't believe Alinsky would have sided with an entrenched Establishment - like what the democrats are today... he was actually a nice person.
