Today's Cult of Alinsky, Rules for Radicals
book, Saul Alinsky ^ | 11-27-07 | Richard Poe

Posted on 09/06/2009 3:45:11 PM PDT by opentalk

True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within. Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.... Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.

"Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite.... Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project.... Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer." (By Richard Poe, 11-27-07)

Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: "Known as the 'father of modern American radicalism,' Saul D. Alinsky (1909-1972) developed strategies and tactics that take the enormous, unfocused emotional energy of grassroots groups and transform it into effective anti-government and anti-corporate activism. ... Some of these rules are ruthless, but they work."

Alinsky would be proud to see the Marxist progress in the U.S. ... the takeover of the Democrat Party to the point where the American Communist Party simply supports the Democrat platform, and the purging of the Democrat Party of all conservatives and moderates. Those neo-cons are now moving the Republican Party to the Left. I hope I won’t live long enough to see that takeover ... I am encouraged by the stiff opposition to Obama’s Alinsky agenda.

As opposed to Bill, whose counsel is to do and say whatever it takes to get chicks.

Eerily reminded me of the Islamic Jihadists, after 9-11. We learned they cut their hair, and dress like us, to fit in. And they lie in wait.

Still.

Hillary’s 92-page senior college thesis was called “There is only one Fight...:An analysis of the Alinsky Model” after she met him throught her Methodist church youth pastor Rev. Don Jones of Park Ridge Methodist Church. Also Cesar Chevez worked 10 years for Alinsky. Alinsky had a sit-in once at Eastman-Kodak meeting called a fart sit-in after he and protestors ate a meal of baked beans, real classy mentor, huh?
