Saul Alinsky Died 40 Years Ago Today

Posted on 06/12/2013 6:21:26 PM PDT by artichokegrower

Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 – June 12, 1972)

From Playboy interview:

ALINSKY: ... 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.

In that Alinsky died in Carmel by the Sea California he didn't exactly hang out with the have-nots.

I only had to read a few word before it was clear he was a liar.

If he died with that viewpoint, guaranteed he’s not enjoying himself right now. Nor will he be tomorrow, nor the day after, nor the day after, nor the....

My bad. At least he is still dead other than in the honor given to him by the President of the United States of America.

Alinsky was yet another of those people afflicted with good intentions and bad (or a lack of) moral principles.

But the R party does need to study him, alas, if only to learn what to expect from the new Left-of-the-Kremlin version of the D party.

(”Be Prepared — is a pretty darned good motto....

The people in the Chicago region are exceptionally stupid. Alinsky’s cr*p was easily accepted by them ~ but you’ll notice nobody else does the Alinsky stuff ~ just the Chicago crowd.
