And who is the communist?
my guess Democrat=Mccain , Communist=Obama
Ayers’ buddy.Alinsky’s acolyte.
Did they mention if Bruce has any children, cousins or nephews attending USC???
sorry, I don’t know what else to call somebody to the left of Bernie Saunders.
CNN doesn’t even have a pretense of objectivity any more...
Not that I am defending either one, they are both total barfers. It is just that I can see the difference.

ALINSKY: Conservative? That’s a crock of crap. Right now they’re nowhere. But they can and will go either of two ways in the coming years — to a native American fascism or toward radical social change. Right now they’re frozen, festering in apathy, leading what Thoreau called “lives of quiet desperation:” They’re oppressed by taxation and inflation, poisoned by pollution, terrorized by urban crime, frightened by the new youth culture, baffled by the computerized world around them. They’ve worked all their lives to get their own little house in the suburbs, their color TV, their two cars, and now the good life seems to have turned to ashes in their mouths. Their personal lives are generally unfulfilling, their jobs unsatisfying, they’ve succumbed to tranquilizers and pep pills, they drown their anxieties in alcohol, they feel trapped in longterm endurance marriages or escape into guilt-ridden divorces. They’re losing their kids and they’re losing their dreams. They’re alienated, depersonalized, without any feeling of participation in the political process, and they feel rejected and hopeless. Their utopia of status and security has become a tacky-tacky suburb, their split-levels have sprouted prison bars and their disillusionment is becoming terminal.
They’re the first to live in a total mass-media-oriented world, and every night when they turn on the TV and the news comes on, they see the almost unbelievable hypocrisy and deceit and even outright idiocy of our national leaders and the corruption and disintegration of all our institutions, from the police and courts to the White House itself. Their society appears to be crumbling and they see themselves as no more than small failures within the larger failure. All their old values seem to have deserted them, leaving them rudderless in a sea of social chaos. Believe me, this is good organizational material.
The despair is there; now it’s up to us to go in and rub raw the sores of discontent, galvanize them for radical social change. We’ll give them a way to participate in the democratic process, a way to exercise their rights as citizens and strike back at the establishment that oppresses them, instead of giving in to apathy. We’ll start with specific issues — taxes, jobs, consumer problems, pollution — and from there move on to the larger issues: pollution in the Pentagon and the Congress and the board rooms of the megacorporations. Once you organize people, they’ll keep advancing from issue to issue toward the ultimate objective: people power. We’ll not only give them a cause, we’ll make life goddamn exciting for them again — life instead of existence. We’ll turn them on.
Good luck. Saul’s idea of the current (then as well as now) condition of the “white middle class” is nothing short of delusional.

Sounds really great, on a daytime soap opera. Reality? Only through the gloom of a liberal dem’s mentally ill view of the world.
Real Americans do not buy off on such nonsense. And it also lends itself to the very thing about current Republicans that drive me absolutely batty. The RNC can not seem to get it through their thick sculls that “moderate republicans” loose elections. Hard azz right wing Republicans win elections. Damn it, why does anyone think republicans are Republicans for reasons other than the are hard-azzes?
Anyway, if obamanation Hussein thinks he is going to “win one for `ol Saul his bus is about to have a bunch of flat tires. It must be from all those folks he threw under it.
The MSM seems to do things like this often. Inadvertently, of course. (sarc)
CNN knew what it was doing all along. Their lame “apology” was offered with backroom laughter. The damage they wanted to inflict was done. This tactic is nothing new, and you can expect a whole lot more of it in the months to come from Democrat propaganda machines like CNN and the New York Times, etc..
Might be anecdotal, too, but I have talked to hundreds of people this election cycle and I am not seeing the hatred for McCain that I see in FR. Most of the people I have talked to, in different states, too, actually like McCain. One thing I have encountered, they all hate Obama. I talked to one Obama supporter in Milwaukee, Ws. I am seeing a lot of democrats who are voting McCain this year.
liberal media caught in another lie....
I do think the Alinsky quote is Obama’s world view, I do agree it is delusional, and I do fear enough people will buy into it to elect him .
ouch, Ouch and YEEEOOOOUCH!
