Another typical response from a mao-maoing Saul Alinsky Marxist.

You should know, when most people read a comment such as yours, that their first reaction is “wow, this writer must’ve gotten OWNED in an argument on another thread.”

Words have meaning. Don't just repeat them because you like the way they sound.

1. It's "mau-mauing," not "mao-maoing." The word has nothing whatsoever to do with Mao.

2. Saul Alinsky's distinctive contributions to political science were his techniques for grassroots organization. Calling someone a "Saul Alinsky Marxist" accuses them of advocating community-level protest actions (violent or non-violent, whatever's most useful) as the primary driver of the Marxist agenda at higher levels.

Ignoring the puerile "Marxist" charge, the "Saul Alinsky" bit is simply incoherent, since a consistent complaint from you Paulestinians has been that the "Establishment" is trying to suppress your candidate. The campaigns of Giuliani, Romney, Hillary, et al. are the exact opposite of what Saul Alinsky advocated, because they're top-down efforts driven at the national level. In fact, far more accurate would be to term Paul a "Saul Alinsky Libertarian."
