Lots of valuable background info here.

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.

Then the bastards brought in those serial machines at the door where you pull out a ticket that's only good for that particular cafeteria. That was a low blow. We were the first victims of automation.

What a low life piece of crap the liberals selected as a hero. No wonder liberals are pantie waist punks.

>> 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.

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.

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.

PLAYBOY: It was also pretty cynical and manipulative.

ALINSKY: It was a simple example of good organizing. And what's wrong with it? ....

Notice the counter-challenge by Alinsky? The interviewer already told him "what's wrong with it".

But the interviewer sheers off and changes topics. What odds this wasn't something Alinsky has done 1000 times before?

Rush Limbaugh is right and we should take the gloves off!

We can't fight as dirty as the Democrats because we don't appreciate wallowing in slime, but we should do something to fight against those neo Communists.

The end certainly doesn't justify the means, but if we're dealing with opponents who practice that then we should have some means that we would not employ in ordinary decent lives.

Life is rife with low down pond scum like Alinsky and Soros. Being like them is not the goal, I hope.

We don’t need to employ the same tactics. We have the truth on our side. And truth will out!

What we must continue to do, over and over again, is get the truth out. We must make sure that we educate the public. We tell the truth. We make sure that kids know what’s in the Constitution and the Declaration. We make sure our countrymen understand the “soul” of man — that he is flawed and will easily fall to the dark side.

People love the story of good and evil. They always root for good. They want to be on the “right” side. It’s up to us to make sure they know we are the right, the truthful side.

Obviously, the guy was a full-blown psychopath, completely incapable of normal empathy with other people.

I rather doubt his cafeteria story; one would think that the waitresses would be smart enough to know that he was handing them the wrong check.

Alinsky: small-scale grifter

Obama: world-class grifter

Thank you for posting it. I wonder how it would read if you replaced Capone's name with Alinsky and Alinsk's name with Obama? Might just open it in Word and give it a try.

It's all there, isn't it? Anyway - thanks for posting a road map to what is happening before our own eyes, in our own country, in our own time.
