Alinsky Rules Return For Obama

Politics: The hippie horde attempting to mob and "occupy" Wall Street this week has a method to its madness. It's all about getting President Obama re-elected by employing classic Alinskyite tactics.

At first glance, the latest protests staged by left-wing rent-a-mobs in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and elsewhere don't look terribly different from the World Trade Organization and global debt-amnesty spectaculars of a decade ago. Radicals swarm against some hated totem, chant, break a few Starbucks windows and leave scads of garbage for someone else to clean up.

But the "Occupy Wall Street" mob that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge last weekend and drew 700 arrests bears all the earmarks of a professional political machine effort to keep Obama in the White House.

This time, banks were the target, as mobs bore down on Wall Street and posted demands on their Twitter feed to tax and arrest bankers. They knew a soft spot when they saw one.

Polls show the public continues to blame banks instead of administration policies for the economic downturn and widespread joblessness. Singling out banks is a tactic torn right from the playbook of Obama's political mentor, Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky.

"The goal," wrote David Horowitz's DiscoverTheNetworks.com of Alinsky, "is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels and Lenin predicted — a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and unworthy of salvation."

"The key to radical social change," wrote Stanley Kurtz in his Alinsky biography "Radical-in-Chief," "was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations."

Alinsky’s tactics were developed to level the playing field between the totally powerless and the very powerful. If he was here today he’d be fighting George Soros... and the ‘establishment’ which in our time is a bunch of leftists...

This whole thing was the work of Wade Rethke, founder of ACORN, and Stephen Lerner of the SEIU...

"The key to radical social change," wrote Stanley Kurtz in his Alinsky biography "Radical-in-Chief," "was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations."

That explains why the middle class had to be impoverished first.

Which is why Obama is the biggest prick on earth

Why Alinsky, like Lucifer himself, is bound to fail:

There is no “American Middle Class”. There is only America and Americans.

Alinsky, like Lucifer, didn’t understand that words are not labels, words are real. Neither did Bertrand Russell, but that’s another story.

No he wouldn't! Are you nuts?

There is no "The Establishment" when it is our Establishment.

This is exactly what Alinsky dreamed.

Sounds like FINALLY one of You Lie Obama’s “jobs” plans is finally working out for the future leaders of Amerika.

BTW, “shovel-ready” is code for garbage, and it looks like a lot of shovels will be needed.

Thanks for the ping!

Let us see how these clowns hold up in the streets they choose to live in, once the cold late fall and winter set in. If their socialist organizers had any brains....they would have chosen the spring or early summer when it is warmer out...to have their stupid useless followers take to the streets and pitch their tents. Dopes. Most of them probably outside of the one shot deal to vote for the illegal usurper into the presidency, never voted in their lives. I sense if they continue this protest, it will end up costing the State of New York a lot of bucks as their sorry asses are sent to hospitals where these clowns don’t have health insurance and cost the NY tax payers in the end run. Have a great upcoming day. I have to hit the rack.

Huge NYC Union March Set to Spotlight Occupy Wall Street Protest

This is no “grassroots-grown protest”.

This is a centrally planned program.

I live in Longview, WA, and the ILWU has been directed from outside the local region to wreck havoc at the Port of Longview.

The union here is losing popular support.

I would say Obama’s book of Alinsky was never shelved long enough to collect any dust...yaaaaaaawn...

excerpt from article above ...

“The key to radical social change,” wrote Stanley Kurtz in his Alinsky biography “Radical-in-Chief,” “was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give this idea consideration. When the acts occurring before our eyes are indeed the very things Alinsky wrote to do.

BEWARE!

Watch!

Get involved/stirred up ...

or

WEEP! ... for the loss of FREEDOM!

What say Ye?
