Shouldn’t this “L. DAVID ALINSKY” be receiving some critical coverage by now?...

Is he gay?

A druggie? Pedophile?

Not accusing, just asking. Who is this “L. David Alinsky”. Can he be embarrassed and taken down a peg. For what his father has done - and for which he seems to be just fine about.

Fair’s fair.

What makes you think that any of this (personal stuff, if not criminal), even when true, would embarrass him, or any of them? It would only be taken and publicized as "a personal attack by members of vast right-wing conspiracy" and accomplish nothing at best, be counterproductive and sidetracked at worst.

If we can't make a good case against them on basis that they are, at the core, socialist / Marxist, communist or fascist (commune, communal, community and communism have the same root word commun - to share), then we are hopelessly lost in the fight of ideas and ideological war.

Let's point out, mock and ridicule the fact that what they are trying to peddle to the masses has already been tried and miserably failed every time, everywhere, on every level, in every aspect. Let them defend the already discredited societies and ideologies instead of hiding behind various differently painted but well recycled slogans of Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité type.

On the other hand Alinsky did NOT write for the powerful - he wrote for the powerless. Liberals are the Establishment - the Powerful - the Thugs - they have no call on Alinsky...

I will make sure that I am “properly” hydrated in order to complete the mission.

Or a meal of asparagus beforehand?
