It’s as plain as the nose on your face....
Sanford Horwitt prefaces his biography of Alinsky, “Let Them Call Me Rebel”, with an anecdote he felt illuminated Alinskys method. In this anecdote, Alinsky shares his wisdom with students wishing to protest the appearance on their campus of the first George Bush, then Americas representative to the UN during the Vietnam War:
College student activists in the 1960s and 1970s sought out Alinsky for advice about tactics and strategy. On one such occasion in the spring of 1972 at Tulane Universitys annual week-long series of events featuring leading public figures, students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest for a scheduled speech by George Bush, then U. S. representative to the United Nations, a speech likely to be a defense of the Nixon Administrationss Vietnam War policies The students told Alinsky that they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bushs address. Thats the wrong approach, he rejoinednot very relative and besides, causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school. He told them, instead, to go hear the speech dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards, reading The K.K.K. supports Bush. And that is what the students did with very successful, attention-getting results.
Confiscate ALL copies of the book "Gone with the Wind".. burn ALL copies of the movie itself,, and renounce Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh for portraying Southerners who were associated with the idea of slave plantations.
After we cleanse the Civil War from our history then we can start in on Auschwitz and the Nazi era of Jewish extermination. Remove all memory of "Schindler's List."
Far too many LIBERAL Americans are "lost" and wandering in the desert.
The four presidents should be Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Reagan.... Just sayin’
Referenced in the opening sentence.
I hate when things are added after I’ve read them.
It’s like when I sing along with old songs and find out they’ve changed the words.
You went to Stone Mountain GA, and never once looked up? Too much navel gazing going on down there!
All intellectually honest libs (oxymoron right?) should disavow cotton, which after all, was slavery’s fruit. Any leftist wearing cotton clothing, using cotton cleaning pads, washcloths, towels, bandages, tampons, etc. should clearly forego usage and find slavery heritage free alternatives. Oh, and that cotton fiber US currency? They can send it all to me to ensure proper disposal.
I hope not, but nothing they say or do surprises me. Their hatred for us runs deep.
That Georgia sun is blood red and going down....
This reminds me of what the Taliban did to the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
Well maybe, but blacks weren’t the slaves of the Bible.
I’ll donate my Mount Rushmore snow globe.
Let them blow it up instead.
