Ping.
Minor typo correction I noticed I forgot to correct after posting—I meant to flip these two sentences around (Johnson announced his resignation on March 31, a few days before the King assassination): “Racial violence soon ensued around the country following the assassination of Martin Luther King that April. Johnson then announced he would not seek reelection, so he did not appear at the Democratic National Convention.”
I had never heard of Alinsky until Glenn Beck started going on about him back in his Fox days, and for awhile I thought it was much ado about nothing, assuming if I don’t know who he is, no one does.
Then I remember one evening Beck ran a video of big shot after big shot in the DNC going on about how much Alinsky had meant to them. He had a long line of Democrats praising Alinsky to the hilt. That is when I realized that commie crackpot though he might be, he was not a nobody. He was well admired among these people.
She is a radical left wing lunatic who will further damage this country to the point of no return.
After a quarter century in national politics, I have yet to hear anyone in the MSM discuss how Hillary was a disciple of Saul Alinsky. Or how her thesis was surpressed.
In all her years, I can’t think of one good thing that she has accomplished.
Johnson did not announce his resignation. He announced he would not seek or accept the nomination of his party for reelection.
Most of what I know about Alinsky is through Dinesh D’Souza’s films.
What I find funny about radicals is that when they finally have the upper-hand, are winning, and enacting their crazy programs, they continue to wage war on their dwindling opponents as if they are still some colossal force.
Once they’ve fully established their abusive autocracy, you can be sure that there will be plenty of bogus, powerless “enemies” that they will capture, parade before the people, and ultimately liquadate. It won’t be to maintain “order” but to maintain a state of paralyzingly fear among the populace.
Thanks for the heads-up.
We can’t think of anything, but the American people can, or can they?
Thank you for posting this. Do you have a link directly to her thesis? I tried several places, but it hangs each time indefinitely, which I am sure is an accident. /s
I clicked on the link to Frank Marafiote’s piece. What a load of horse hooey, at what I read of it. A complete apologia. I should have expected as much given the website’s name.
There were radical groups back in the 60s who began using the Alinski Rules to attack elected officials by disrupting meetings and accusing them of all sorts of things, no matter how fanciful or false.
Being from S. Texas, I watched the radical Mexican nationalist group Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) and La Raza and some local MA organizationa as they used the Alinkski tactics in S. Texas cities with some success.
In the year leading up to the 2008 election, I had been trying to figure out a way to obtain a copy of Rules for Radicals because it is the bible followed by Obama and his associates. I had been trying to get it without paying for it, and the copies at the library were backordered for months. To my surprise, one finally came in after about a six month delay.
When I was about a third of the way through Rules for Radicals, I concluded that reading it tells volumes about the people who profess to following it as a bible, especially the ones pushing the legislation we have seen in the last eight years, and from 1960's on, generally as the leftist radicals mainstreamed and entered politics.
The book explains a lot about those people (including Obama and Clinton) and none of it is good.
I was going to dictate the entire thing and make an audiobook out of it to give to my close associates, who, like me, dont want a single red cent to go to anyone associated with writing, printing or distributing that hideous work. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I couldnt stomach hearing myself read it in a way that would make it easier on the ears to listen to (To put the inflection in the right places means you have to read it as if you believe it, and I gave up after one chapter.)
It is probably one of the most amoral, twisted works I have ever read. Given that Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer, I shouldnt be surprised. The dedication was taken out of later editions so as not to offend the clergy he was attempting to recruit, but the version I read had it. Apparently, it was a copy from the 1980's, and they figured it was safe to put it back in.
From what I can see, reading that book enables one to understand what makes Obama (and his devoted followers) tick.
The very FIRST paragraph exposes very clearly what they are all about:
"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. 'The Prince' was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."
It is unrestricted class warfare, pure and simple. And it is the bible of Obama, Clinton, and their like-minded followers.

> in her student days, she was a fellow traveler with Communists considered by the Johnson administration to be national security risks because of their role in promoting racial violence
In that connection, she presided over the publication of the “Yale Review of Law and Social Action”. She also attended communist fund-raisers and worked for a communist law firm.
