In Artful Dodger style, Barack Obama, plays down his mentorship with Communist author Saul Alinsky. But Alinskys son, L. David Alinsky, credits Obama for learning his lesson well from the Communist guru.
Indeed, Alinsky Jr. who credits his late father for the success of last weeks Democratic National Convention, may have done something that Obamas detractors couldnt: blown the cover on the presidential hopefuls communist leanings.
No one can blame Alinsky for the pretentiousness of the Ancient Greek Temple from which Obama addressed plebes, or for the tacky neon colours on display at the Pepsi Centre, but it was Alinsky who wrote Rules for Radicals, the bible of the far left.
Says Alinskys son L. David Alinsky of his fathers influence at the Dem Convention: ALL the elements were present: the individual stories told by real people of their situation and hardships, the packed-to-the rafters crowd, the crowds chanting of key phrases and names, the action on the spot of texting and phoning to show instant support and commitment to jump into the political battle, the rallying selections of music, the setting of the agenda by the power people.
The Democratic National Convention had all the elements of the perfectly organized event, Saul Alinsky style,

I can’t wait to hear B. Hussein’s dodge/weave/twist/spin of THIS.
“L. David Alinsky, meet bus. Bus, Mr. Alinsky.”
Now if OTHER media outlets would do their job and report this.....
It goes well with the endorsement from Ayers, Jeremia Wright, Fr. Pfleger, Bernardine Dohrn, et als.
Probably won’t have to. Even the so called conservative media is mostly afraid to expose this radical.

“That’s not the L. David Alinsky I knew...”
You make a good point.
It’s almost enough to drive me to become a conspiracist and make myself a tin-foil hat.
Outstanding article by Judi McLeod. Thanks for posting.
Is it any wonder why these leftists praise Obama? Is it any wonder that his helpers and mentors were all left-wing radicals?
He’s a left-winger himself, folks. A left winger trying to fly in under the radar. The Manchurian Candidate.
I’ll waste a lot of time holding my breath until this article appears in the Chicago Tribune.....
Wow...thanks for posting this!!

It was a cardboard play-bill poster with a picture of Saul Alinsky on it done in the usual clenched-fist, Soviet poster-art style (think of the "Che" portraiture on tee-shirts, etc.).
The poster advertised a coming political-theater play, "The Love of Saul Alinsky", at the Blue Rider Theater on Halsted St., Chicago, located in the run-down general area of Obama's prowling and preying grounds as a "community organizer". The run of the play was Sept. 4 to Oct. 3 - 1998.
The poster announced a "panel discussion" after the play.....with a list of about a dozen Chicago far-left and radical participants. Included were Dr. Quentin Young, Chicago physician and noted anti-war activist and "social justice" warrior, Studs Terkel, long time Chicago radio personality, noted author and noted communist.....plus, Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama, former noted south-side Chicago "community organizer", street hustler, and supporter of radical Black Liberation theology and other leftist "isms".
I urged the owner of the poster to join FR and see if he could get some help to get a reproduction of the poster onto a thread in this forum. I'll see what's happening on this front.
The point of this is to highlight the fact that Obama is well-known to be an acolyte and student of the Alinsky school of revolution and radicalism. He's employing so many of Alinsky's tactics in his campaign for the presidency as to be breathtaking.
As a sidebar, Hillary Clinton was also a Saul Alinsky devotee. She differs from Obama in that early on she chose to put his silent-revolution ideas to work through the profession of law, while Barack chose the path of street organizing to further revolution.
All the while, the American public majority is uneducated and unaware of the stealth campaign to take over this country's institutions and basic structure bit by bit as well as politician by politician. Most Americans wouldn't know Saul Alinsky from Saul of Tarsus. But they are observing his rules for revolution every day without realizing it.

HUH ?................
Quoting from the Canada Free Press Article - a paragraph of note (in case it got lost in the read)....
” ...Alinsky considered himself a realist above all, the ultimate pragmatist. (American Thinker, Aug. 30, 2008). As a confirmed atheist, Alinsky believed that the here and now is all there is, and therefore had no qualms about assorted versions of morality in the pursuit of worldly power. He didnt coddle his radical acolytes or encourage their bourgeois distinctions between good and evil when it came to transferring power from the Haves to the Have Nots. Alinsky saw the already formed church communities as being the perfect springboards for agitation and creating bonds for demanding goods and services.
Obama followed the same path”
Again:
..... “church communities as being the perfect springboards for agitation and creating bonds for demandng goods and services.”
That explains all this devotion we see in Obama’s choice of messengers....it isn’t devotion it is extortion being preached.
PING!
I emailed this to several “people” earlier in the week- but not a whiff has been reported yet..am trying a couple of other ideas..
THANK YOU for posting as a separate thread!
