Barack Obama is not the only one giving a shout out. On Monday’s edition of MSNBC's The Ed Show Nation magazine editor Katrina vanden Heuvel hailed the godfather of community organizers:

The great community organizer Saul Alinsky talked about organized people vs. organized money. We are seeing the mugging of the common good everyday.

How can the Left continue to claim anyone- seeking to understand its motives or modus by reading Alinsky’s writings is paranoid?

The show also represented the continuation of Katrina's self-contradiction tour on the issue of the filibuster. Now that Republicans are filibustering socialism, she is in favor of its abolition -- but that was not the case lo, many, many (well, four) years ago. She said Monday:

Watch out for this one~! She’s a S&m dominatrix for the Communist Left. She’s one of their “enforcers”. The Left usually only call her out when they’ve really screwed up, and there needs to be “troubleshooting” and “party discipline” restored.

Vander HeaveUppal is a really twisted sister. Like Right out of some KGB training acamy run out of a Soviet orphanage for girls.

It was on the Ed Show. Maybe 25 people watched this.

That’s their script.

They have no original thoughts; no clear ideas; no plans; just a script.

Pardon me, but its correctly spelled Katrina van den Hateful.

She is a deceitful liar and a menace to society.

Hence there weakness.

Cheers!

Someone should tell this commie bee-otch that disco is dead and so is the Soviet Union.

Saul Alinsky - a man who dedicated his book to Satan (no joke).

That should tell you everything you need to know about Liberals.

Hey Saul, how is the over-the-shoulder time in Hell working out for you?

Here, we have a Community Organizer teaching the actual garbage of Alinsky.

Obama Teaches Alinsky

The classic moment back in August 2001 when Chris Matthews asked her a simple question.

WSJ Opinion Archives: Best of the Web Today by James Taranto

Who Represents Katrina?

MATTHEWS:  Who represents you in Congress right now?

VANDEN HEUVEL:  I don't--but I don't know who represents this bill. That's the key thing. Who is sponsoring . . .

MATTHEWS:  No, who represents you? Who represents you in New York?

DORNAN:  Pop quiz. You better have an answer.

MATTHEWS:  Who is your congressman who will introduce this bill?

VANDEN HEUVEL:  But that's not--but that's not . . .

MATTHEWS:  I'm just asking. I'm curious.

VANDEN HEUVEL:  I mean, maybe--maybe it could come up in the Senate, as well, with Hillary Clinton and Schumer
taking the lead, or Rangel taking the lead. But I think . . .

MATTHEWS:  Do you live in Harlem?

VANDEN HEUVEL:  . . . it should--but I think it should come out of--or Nadler, but it should come out of those who
have cared about these issues, and maybe Condit could redeem himself.
