Now that they have the power, they are trying to bait the citizens to attack them. Don’t fall for it. They are setting traps everywhere and have no problem in using the full force of the fedgov against us.
Excellent find.

Finally I got an audience with Kelly and I started my spiel. "Look, Mayor," I said, "I know I can't deliver you any more votes than you've already got" -- in those days they didn't even bother to count the ballots, they weighed 'em, and every cemetery in town voted; there was a real afterlife in Chicago -- "but I'm going to make a deal with you." Kelly just looked bored; he was probably asking himself why he'd even bothered to see this little pip-squeak radical. "What've you got to deal with, kid?" he asked me. I told him, "Right now you've got a reputation as the number-one enemy of organized labor in the country. But I'll make you a liberal overnight. I'll deliver the national C.I.O. endorsement for you and the public support of every union in Chicago. I've arranged for two of the guys who were wounded in the Memorial Day Massacre to go on the radio and applaud you as a true friend of the workingman. Within forty-eight hours I'll have turned you into a champion of liberalism" -- Kelly still looked bored -- "and that'll make you completely acceptable to F.D.R. on all occasions, social and political."
Suddenly he sat bolt upright in his chair and his eyes bored into mine. "How do I know you can deliver?" he asked. I handed him a slip of paper. "That's the unlisted number of John L. Lewis in Alexandria, Virginia. Call him, tell him I'm here in your office, tell him what I said, and then ask him if I can deliver." Kelly leaned back in his chair and said, "What do you want?" I said, "I want you to put the screws on the meat packers to sign a contract with the union." He said, "It's a deal. You'll get your contract tomorrow." We did, and from that time on victory for Back of the Yards was ensured. And I came out of that fight convinced that the organizational techniques we used in Back of the Yards could be employed successfully anywhere across the nation.
Tea Party folks need to take a long hard look at this tactic... it's a winner.
And that is why Republicans suck.
Rush needs to talk about this.
“We were the first victims of automation.... “
Wow. This statement is unbelievable.
And also Bill Ayers.
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.
Exactly. Study their tactics, improve upon them, then use them. It's time to put the country club niceties aside. Politics is a blood sport, as Kennedy said. Play it to win - for a change.
He really is the godfather of the entitlement mentality. Levin needs to get a copy of this.
“What a low life piece of crap the liberals selected as a hero. No wonder liberals are pantie waist punks. “
Fits Obama to a T.
Christ said after the parable of the “fired steward” who knew to reduce the debts of everyone that owed something to the master...”the children of this world are often wiser than the children of light; there-fore make friends for yourselves by the mammon of unrighteousness so when ye fail ye may be received in the everlasting habitations.”
The point of this parable was that often spiritual minded people don’t deal as wisely with each other and with the world as do earthly minded folks do with each other and the world. If they want to use Alinsky and Clove Pliven on Americans...perhaps we should give back to them, and in spades!
The Tea Party could start demanding their free health care now...why wait until 2014. We want our welfare stash now and we aren’t going to work anymore...we want our free money. One giant colossal work stoppage with no tax revenues coming in and few doing their jobs anywhere for say one month will get the point across in a hurry! No more free rides or everyone free rides. They want to ban fishing everyone goes fishing.
The point is they expect folks to start shooting and then the Libs think they could do the martial law thingy...but what would they do if a good chunk of 50 percent of the US decides..”heck no...we ain’t working anymore either...we want our free stuff now Obama!” and they sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing...no work, no spend, no tax collections!

After reading Rules for Radicals and now this interview, I concur.
