This is pretty wild. Didn't Saul Alinsky die in the '70s? I don't know much about him. As for the rest of this charge, I really need something more specific. Sorry.

Oh the sad state of a liberal (and a Liberal's) education these days. Saul Alinsky was, among other things, Hillary Rodham's mentor. She (and most of the other current hard left radicals who have siezed the reigns of power in the Democrat party) lives by his teachings and principles. His "Rules For Radicals" spells out most of the techniques used by leftists (and unconciously aped by unprincipled and unknowing right wingers, as well), including yourself.

Read it sometime. You might find it familiar.

As to specifics, I've responded with far more specific than you have provided to date. I will respond to specific questions with specific answers. Unfounded accusations notwithstanding.

Mr. Perlstein's apparent unwillingness to follow up on Alinsky tells me volumes. I remember the 1960s East Village Other, Berkeley Barb, Ramparts, etc. and all kinds of radical groups and individuals.

I think Mr. Perlstein's reply suggests you touched a nerve with your post, #78 I believe.

How anyone could claim to understand today's liberals without knowing that era and Alinsky's influence (Rules for Radicals for example) is -- well, lacking important facts.

There I go again. Bringing up facts vis-a-vis a discourse with today's liberals, sorry. Liberalism is all about feeeeeeeeeeeeelings. (Hee, hee. A little Alinksky there, "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." Oh, how the left has ridiculed the conservatives for decades. Now conservatives are fighting back and left feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels it's not fa-a-a-a-air. Hee. Hee.)
