Hey, if the guy's an organizational genius, then conservatives should be able to employ the same tactics to our advantage. If it works for the left, why not for us? It's time we beat those clowns at their own game.
What a low life piece of crap the liberals selected as a hero. No wonder liberals are pantie waist punks.
Just an ordinary, low down, two bit swindler crook. And he got a campus group to buy in to it. Back then.
>> ALINSKY: The first and most important thing you can do to win this acceptance is to bait the power structure into publicly attacking you. In Back of the Yards, when I was first establishing my credentials, I deliberately maneuvered to provoke criticism. I made outrageous statements to the press, I attacked every civic and business leader I could think of, and I goaded the establishment to strike back ..... <<
Now you know why the continuous stream of “slip-ups” of Obama’s people referring to him as a Kenyan.
Also sounds like they may have inadvertently aided Palin’s rise to power.
If you play by the Devil's rule book, don't be surprised when you become just like the Devil.
We can employ some of their tactics (isolation, ridicule, aggressiveness).
But the difference is that Leftism is based on lies.
When you are trying to take control based on lies, that requires a strategy that ridicules and demonizes Truth and elevates the Lie.
That won’t work for us. Because Conservatism is based on an objective set of moral principles, on historical evidence, on fact, and, above all, on Truth.
So, like good soldiers, we’ll use whatever we can to our advantage. But some of the tricks this scumbag Alinsky employed simply won’t work.
Good reply. See my post following yours.
True! when the unwritten zeroth rule seems to be “Numb your conscience.”

Typical thief and liar.
the devil you say.
This is very interesting. Alinsky was a punk who made it into a philosophy. And speaking of “Know your enemy,!” Playboy magazine has always been a vehicle for everything radical.
Did he? How many of them walked away from him and went on to lead honest lives? He isn't bragging about that.
No telling how many people marked him down as a lowlife, but don't expect him to tell you about that.
True, he might be exaggerating (though perhaps this was what motivated the cafeteria chain to switch check systems). Today, you pay as you exit the line with your tray of food and there’s very little room for cheating.
Sound familiar? Sound like anyone we know ...... named Hugh Hefner?
Maybe the Playboy interview was pure affinity at work.
He's also lying to some degree in the retelling.
For example, if he told that story exactly as he told it to Playboy, to Ed Stash and his associates, about how he sucked up and got them to talk to him, do you think they might have had a little different take on it?
Different enough to win Alinsky a new position with the Mob .... head down in a barrel of wet cement, maybe?
