Michelle Obama Quotes Saul Alinsky in Campaign Speech
American Freedom by Barbara ^ | 9/4/12 | Barbara

Posted on 09/05/2012 6:28:46 AM PDT by Clint N. Suhks

Michelle Obama used lines from Rules for Radicals, a radical Far Left book by Saul Alinsky (“father of community organizing” and a notorious far-left radical) in her DNC Convention speech.

Gateway Pundit nailed her: What to make of Michelle Obama’s use the terms, “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be?” From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals.

“Barack stood up that day,” talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, “and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be…” And, “All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.”

Off topic, I am completely befuddled as to why they think they deserve some $35 million dollar estate, free and clear, like a couple of despots.

Good Posting. Thanks for pointing out the use of Saul Alinsky in the Convention speech. This quote by the Obamas shines a lot of light on what motivates their radical agenda. Now, if only the TV New commentators would ask the Obamas about how this quotation motivates them and their actions.

In a side not: I was moving my father into assisted living in July. I was taking old books to the used book stores and donation sites. I came across Saul Alinski's Reveille for Radicals. To my surprise it was signed by the author to my father.

Her speech was directed towards, “Oprah-Nation.”

A dictatorship of the proletariat--with him and his buddies as the dictators. The proles wouldn't have any say, for their own good, you know.

Did anyone here watch her speech and if so, what did they think? I wasn’t able to. MSN said wonderful things about it it......”she was shining”, etc.... Was it really that good? That amazing?

She must have gone to teleprompter camp with 0bama because she was very polished and practiced.

That said it was full of Libtard buzz words and platitudes that would make you nauseous.

What IS Michelle and Barack’s idea of “the world as it should be”? . . and who died and made them Kings of the Universe? - (Perhaps they haven’t considered that their lofty idea of “meat” is another man’s idea of “poison”.)

Putin has one, Benito had one, Mao had one, Hugo has one, Fidel has one, so Barry believes he deserves on.

Hitler also had one, Goering had two, but they were small.

The problem isn’t her using the quote. The problem is people actually agree with this extremism.
