If Alinsky ain’t burnin’ in hell right now just color me shocked.:(

,/p> Alinsky's last quote in the interview touched on that location

From the article

ALINSKY:....Let's say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.

PLAYBOY: Why?

ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I've been with the have-nots. Over here, if you're a have-not, you're short of dough. If you're a have-not in hell, you're short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I'll start organizing the have-nots over there.

PLAYBOY: Why them?

ALINSKY: They're my kind of people.

Saul Alinsky died a few months later, on June 12, 1972.

I’m sure his cockiness has since cooled.

I hope he goes to heaven with the Mormons like Saddam in South Park.

I am sure he didn’t believe in heaven or hell.

Among the stupidest things people say is that hell would be more interesting, or more sociable, than heaven.

In hell, everyone hates everyone else. There’s no “fun.”

Anyone interested in how he died? According to records he collapsed and died on the street from heart failure.

Convenient reason . . .

Or did the mob get angry with him?

Wonder if he’s so cavalier about those comments now? Some people are just born rotten.....:(
