The Chicago Way Goes Nationwide
The Chicago Daily Observer ^ | May 21, 2010 | Daniel J. Kelley

Posted on 05/21/2010 7:59:53 AM PDT by PBRCat

“Obama learned his lesson well.” -- quote attributed to L. David Alinsky, son of Saul Alinsky.

From time to time, media reports have referred to a unique brand of systemic corruption and political hardball tactics as being “the Chicago Way. “ The term is taken from the motion picture adaptation of “The Untouchables.” The screenplay was written by David Mamet. Although the exploits of Eliot Ness were exaggerated in the film, much like the original television series which often dispensed fiction for fact, the drama nonetheless struck a responsive chord.

On a political level, this brand of thuggish behavior has even influenced members of the President’s inner circle. Obama’s power mad Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, has established a reputation for speaking in a non-stop string of obscenities, repeatedly stabbing a steak knife into a table top to emphasize his points, and allegedly sending a dead fish to a political opponent. One can almost imagine the nebbish David Axelrod as the successor to Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik, while the late and, in some quarters, unlamented Congressman Jack Murtha of Pennsylvania seemed quite capable of going full Nikita and pounding his shoe on the table like Kruschev as he damned the American military and accused his own constituents of being racists for preferring McCain over Obama in 2008. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton famously wrote her undergraduate thesis paper on Saul Alinsky’s community organizing techniques.

Community Organizer is a euphemism for Communist and UNION man/woman.

Obama and his cronies are as fundamentally Radicalized and Thuggish as any Islamic extremest. When our Forefathers spoke and wrote about "...enemies without and within..." they knew exactly what they were trying to warn the new nation about.

Obama, his Czars, his cronies, and his Unions are truly a threat to the freedom of this nation. Isn't he impeachable for his unconstitutional actions? November 2010 should be a referendum on Obama and ALL those elected who followed this fraud.....Vote them out of office.

Community Organizing is an insidious cancer in the United States.

It won't be easily eradicated. But for the sake of the future of this Nation, it must be excised.

And a lot of people are going to find the surgery very very painful. Recovery will take a lot of time if people do not accept rehabilitation.

Deporting Illegal Aliens to free up jobs for those in rehab needs serious consideration to shorten the time for full recovery.

And that is why YOU must stay on top of your Local, City, Town, County, District, State Politicians and insure that ONLY the best and most informed and "unowned" men and women serve in public office. We don't need more politicians, we need Statesmen and Stateswomen. People of a higher calling, more ethical, more accountable. We cannot expect to have a Congress which responds to the needs of this Country if we don't first have State and Local public officials who respond to the needs of their constituents.

Can I get an Amen?

The screenplay (The Untouchables) was written by David Mamet.

Anecdotal aside: Famous playwright David Mamet came out as conservative two years ago in a column in the Village Voice entitled "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal"

From the third article:

AN INTERVIEW WITH TREVOR LOUDON by John Charlton

Mr. Trevor Loudon (Sept. 14, 2009) — Revelations that Obama was not just chummy with Marxists and Socialists throughout his life, but even may have been recruited by the KGB, first surfaced with Tom Fife, the physicist’s testimony (see www.rense.com for audio file).

More recently, a New Zealand researcher has obtained documents which connect the dots, and seemingly confirm the Fife testimony.

“The Chicago Way”

The thugs really don’t want that.

The “Chicago Way” is when they do something, the good guys respond 10 fold.

I reject the notion of Zer0’s tactics being called the “Chicago way”. This commie is born out of the eitist radicals which came to Chicago to plant their radical ideas.
This is the Hyde Park U of C. cabal.

The traditional Democrat machine is nowhere likened to these people. Daly is by far our most liberal Mayor but he is not “radical” except for gun control.
Zer0, Axlerod, Immanuel and Sunstein are
disconnected to Chicago. They are radicals with no vested interest in this city or it’s ethnic traditions.

The average Chicagoan detests these people

We cannot underestimate the important service done for America by Andrew Breitbart, Glenn Beck, and those two youngsters with the video camera. They have at least thrown a kink in the plans of ACORN to ramp-up Community Organizing to a Greek-like scale. They may have bought us some very important time.

What do you think of John Kass’ assertion that a lot of the shots for the Obama regime are being called by Chicago City Hall?

The “Chicago Way” does not refer to political ideology or being a socialist radical. It refers to the ruthless, strong-arm Mafia/Union Mob tactics Obama and his minions employ.

The worst thing is that these so called “community organizers” receive taxpayer dollars and charitable trust funds to be used to destroy our society!

Amen.

I hate to tell you this, but Daley has a working relationship with these people. He put Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett on the payroll and Rahm Emanuel is his former fundraiser.

Richard J. Daley would have supported police surveillance of these people. Richard M. Daley is an opponent of the police and a cheerleader and enabler for Obama.
