The picture above shows Milada Horakova, a really dangerous-looking elderly lady who was a Czech dissident put to death after a Soviet show trial simply for disagreeing

This is just a short observation on the White House’s campaign against the citizens’ anger expressed at Town Halls this month about Obama-care. Many have pointed out in the last 48 hours that this is a page right out of the Saul Alinsky ‘community organizing’ book: attack, mock and marginalize those who might stand in your way. That’s true enough. But its similarity to another Marxist tradition rang a bell with me.
In the Soviet Union, they used to have ‘show trials’. The victim was already doomed to death or gulag. The purpose was propaganda. In virtually all cases there was no truth whatsoever to the allegations, but Marxism is never about truth, it is about power. What was truly ironic about all this was that the secret state, the Comintern and the KGB actually did all the crimes of which the victims were accused and yet were innocent! The Soviets were the ones conspiring behind the scenes, intimidating, etc.
This knee-jerk reaction on the part of the White House betrays Marxist muscle memory. The SHOW TRIALS railroaded people by the dictum ‘Accuse the victim of what you’re doing’ and that’s exactly what they’re trying to do in these TOWN HALLS.
How interesting is it that the ‘community-organizer-in-chief’ and his forces are accusing the ordinary citizens at the town hall meetings of organized, disruptive behavior, of trying to achieve political ends by subversive means. Isn’t it painfully obvious that this behavior is at the very CORE of the identity of ACORN and all the other far-left activists who engage in ‘community organizing’?

Thanks for the new tagline.
Bingo. Time test. Reliable. Guaranteed to tell which mother is lying about the baby.
Remember Hillary and her “vast right wing conspiracy”?
Im telling you people are getting it now. I can feel it and see it suddenly every day.
Yep, spot on analysis. ACORN and unions are the kings of thug behavior and astroturfing. There was very little coordinated effort at these town hall meeting and mostly rationale albeit passionate speeches. For the Brown Shirt Media to be portraying these average people as organized mobs is ridiculous.
I am about a third of the way through “Rules for Radicals”, and I can assure you, reading it tells volumes about the people who profess to following it as a bible, especially the ones pushing this health care bill.
It explains a lot. And none of it is good.
I was going to dictate the entire thing and make an audiobook out of it to give to people such as myself who don’t want a single red cent to go to anyone associated with writing, printing or distributing that hideous work, but I couldn’t stomach hearing myself read it in a way that would make it easier on the ears to listen to (To put the inflection in the right places means you have to read it as if you believe it, and I gave up after one chapter.)
It is probably one of the most amoral, twisted works I have ever read. Given that Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer, I shouldn’t be surprised. The dedication was taken out of later editions so as not to offend the clergy he was attempting to recruit, but the version I have still carries it.
From what I can see, reading this book enables one to understand what makes Obama (and his followers) tick.
The very FIRST paragraph exposes very clearly what they are all about:
"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. 'The Prince' was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."
It is unrestricted class warfare, pure and simple. And it is the bible of Obama, Clinton, and many MANY others in this country.
Yes, it’s blindingly obvious, and they’ve been doing it right here in the US for a long time. Just like when “tolerance” was the buzzword, but they meant tolerance towards every perversion that undermined American stability, not tolerance of viewpoint. You don’t hear so much tolerance right now, the usefulness of their point with it has just about been outlived. IOW, they’ve pretty much achieved what they wanted with that tangent. Pretty much everyone is “tolerated” now except Christians, they are the new scapegoats. Most children are in state schools, they will grow up with the liberal form of “tolerance”—acceptance of perversion, acceptance of guilt if white(and male, and above poverty level) and entitlement if not, but “separation of church and state” has been stretched to breaking point to become “isolation of Bible-believing Christians from all others”.
“Dissent is Patriotic.” - Hillary Clinton. Screaming it into a mic.
And people can dismiss that all this is leading to a one-world, ecumenical (until antichrist is indwelt) government? I never knew that he dedicated the book to Lucifer, but I’m really not surprised. Most of the people who support and advance this aren’t religious, aren’t they in for a surprise if they live long enough. Though they weren’t averse to worshipping Obamessiah.
It’s not just ACORN. It’s the CEO (Chief Executive Organizer) himself:

“That’s why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you’re counting on them to act.”
From Wikipedia.
May God Bless her soul.
Let’s not forget that Obama pal Bill Ayers said 30,000,000 Americans would need to be eliminated in order for communism to be set up in America.
What is Organizing for America and where do I join?
Amen. How can people not realise, with all the historical evidence, that any form of socialism is wicked and evil in its core? And is merely the scenic route to tyranny?
Nonesense. It was only 25 million.
