Reading Hillary Rodham's hidden thesis(Freerepublic Mentioned)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388372/ ^

Despite the fervent interest in the thesis, few realize that it is no longer kept under lock and key. As MSNBC.com found, it is available to anyone who visits the archive room of the prestigious women’s college outside Boston. With Clinton’s opponents in the 2008 presidential race looking for the next “Swift Boat” attack ad, and the senator herself trying to cast off her liberal image, Clinton's 92-page thesis is certain to be read and reread by opposition researchers and reporters visiting the campus. But can an academic paper from nearly 40 years ago really unlock the politics and character of any former student, much less the early Democratic front-runner for the White House? This is your chance to decide before the political spin machines get their hands on it. snip.. Just last month, an anonymous commentator lamented on the conservative Web site Free Republic, "She's a Marxist. Saul Alinsky's student. I sure wish we could unearth that sealed thesis of hers that she wrote at Wellesley."

Here's the link to the article.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388372/
Go to the end of page 3 for the money quote:

"A decade later, another political science major started out on the path that Hillary Rodham had rejected, going to work for a group in the Alinsky mold. That was Barack Obama, now a U.S. senator from Illinois and her leading opponent for the Democratic nomination. After attending Columbia University, he worked as an organizer on the South Side of Chicago for the Developing Communities Project. Obama and others of the post-Alinsky generation described their work in the 1990 book “After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois,” in which Obama wrote that he longed for ways to close the gap between community organizing and national politics. After three years of organizing, he turned to Harvard Law School and then the Illinois legislature."

There are also some Swift Boat references.

This is Clinton-style innoculation, pure and simple.

Wish we could put on every billboard in the nation.

With radio overriding transmissions for the surrounding 200 feet.

Wonderful post devolve. Quix echoed my statement to you about what a wonderful 'animated' billboard your Hillary graphic would be!

I wonder . . . could we interest enough Hollyweed conservatives--rare enough critters--and enough moneyed people . . .

We hereon could certainly script it . . .

HARXIST'S HIZTORY AND RISE TO POWER . . . a kind of cross between ANIMAL FARM and the celebrations of Stalin's coronation sort of thing . . . then push it past in 4 month jumps about 2-4 year's worth into her tyrannical rule morphing into the AntiChrist's global government and her being amongst the first marched to the guillotine.

Here is what Barbara Olsen in Hell To Pay said about the thesis when she read her copy of the original:

“But nowhere in her thesis — or in her later life — does she seem to recognize the classical liberal critique that the relentless pursuit of power is antithetical to democracy.“

But the journalist, Dedman, states an opposite conclusion, a more favorable, foresighted Hillary, even quoting from the exhibited document, hinting perhaps that this exhibited document is a rewrite which weaves solutions to critiques into a rewrite (and that’s why it is longer than the original 75 pages) in order to make the Rodham rodent more attractive and brilliant in foresight … when in actuality hindsight and strategic rewrite addressing decades of critique aims to create a new image for Hillary. But for all the creative lies and fabrications and substitutions, she remains the power crazed socialist she was in 1969.

From Dedman’s article:

In the end, she judged that Alinsky's “power/conflict model is rendered inapplicable by existing social conflicts” — overriding national issues such as racial tension and segregation. Alinsky had no success in forming an effective national movement, she said, referring dismissively to “the anachronistic nature of small autonomous conflict.” … Putting Alinsky's Rochester symphony threat (the fart-in) into academic language, Rodham found that the conflict approach to power is limited. “Alinsky's conclusion that the ‘ventilation’ of hostilities is healthy in certain situations is valid, but across-the-board ‘social catharsis’ cannot be prescribed,” she wrote.

Dedman goes on to write of this miraculous exhibit:

“In spite of his being featured in the Sunday New York Times," she wrote of Alinsky, "and living a comfortable, expenses-paid life, he considers himself a revolutionary. In a very important way he is. If the ideals Alinsky espouses were actualized, the result would be social revolution. Ironically, this is not a disjunctive projection if considered in the tradition of Western democratic theory. In the first chapter it was pointed out that Alinsky is regarded by many as the proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy. As such, he has been feared — just as Eugene Debs or Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared, because each embraced the most radical of political faiths — democracy.”

Folks, this sanitized, updated, transformed, then exhibited Thesis doesn’t sound at all like the same Thesis Barbara Olsen read for her writing of Hell To Pay. I do extensive research for writing books. I understand the process of digging and assimilating, then synthesis and exposition. I trust our precious BKO to have synthesized the truth of Hillary Rodent-rodham over this Clinton servant posting at MSNBC.

Does the following Dedman opine sound like honesty, or sycophancy? …

That doesn't mean, said the professor of political science (Alan H. Schschter of Wellesley College), that we won't see an Alinsky-Clinton attack ad. One can envision black-and-white photos of Hillary Clinton and Saul Alinsky, wearing remarkably similar Coke-bottle glasses, while the words scroll by: "radical ... socialist? ... exceptional charm ... sealed in the archives." … But at its heart, her mentor (Schechter) says, the Alinsky-socialist-Rodham connection is a falsehood. "My conclusion, she was already thinking in terms of practical politics, what works, what doesn't, more than on ideology," Schechter said. "She wouldn't have paid any attention to whether Alinsky was a Marxist.”

What would be enlightening is the copy Barbara Olsen had when she wrote Hell To Pay, for comparison to the exhibited and perhaps rewritten manuscript.

Rush evidently read the original. He should weigh in.

Also, the original should have had the signatures of those in position on her committee at that time. Are all those still alive? Are their signatures the same?

Something fishy in KLINTOON land. Long Dead fishy.

Shoot, couldn't we do this sort of thing in a cartoon format with software available? Flashing some archival photos and clips between the cartoon sequences? Could be as or more powerful than with actors. Lots cheaper. Put it up on UTube . . . done well enough--would shred her chances into confetti.

This is doable, folks.

A friend claimed that cute used to mean cross-eyed and bowlegged.

Here it simply means ugly and treasonous.

I'd rather even thay repented and didn't go there but they seem hell-bent for that direction.

Thx.
