During a White House press briefing on Monday, Fox News’ Ed Henry asked Press Secretary Jay Carney if the White House displays a portrait of Saul Alinsky for its staff to look up to. Carney’s answer was less than direct, and would seem to hint that there just might be something to the Alinsky portrait rumors.

“I wonder if you could clear something up,” Henry began.

“Newt Gingrich keeps saying on the campaign trail that the President’s vision comes from Saul Alinsky, the community organizer. I haven’t heard you asked about him but… Is there some kind of portrait of him hanging up in the White House that people look up to or is this BS?”

“Look,” Carney said. “The President’s background as a community organizer is well documented in his own books. His experience in that field contributed to who he is today. But his experiences abroad also included alot of other areas in his life. So I’ll just leave it at that.”

The Obama Christmas tree in 2009 had Chairman Mao on an ornament.

FACT: Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals," the organizing guide Obama taught out of in Chicago, is dedicated to Satan.

Look it up. I HAVE THE BOOK.

There's a new Churchill coming to town.

Look familiar?

"Alinsky's book is dedicated to "The original rebel, Lucifer".

Which is so interesting. Whether or not one believes in a literal Devil, in Western culture, "Lucifer" is the one who disguises himself as an angel of light, promising hope and change, while leading his followers into the mouth of Hell as a great cosmic joke.

Doesn’t matter. Carney could have said:

“Hell yes! There’s a life size portrait of Alinsky that we all pray to to start each day!”

The news media would remain silent, it would go unreported, except for Fox. Any moderate you told of this would say... sure “Faux News made it up”. And any Democrat would just smile.

We are in deep doo doo, and Obama is the symptom, not the problem.

I WILL WALK ON GLASS TO VOTE FOR GINGRICH IF HE MENTIONS THIS LUCIFER DEDICATION Of OBAMA's Hero Saul Alinsky. IN TONIGHTS DEBATE (JournOlists can back it up by looking in the book)

They probably have taken the portrait down, and have replaced it with...hmmm...let's see...who might it be?

Bill Ayers?

Mao?

Holy crap the portrait is probably where the Churchill statue was that Obama ordered gone.

I am pretty sure it's been replaced by a picture of MLK...right above an incorrect quote (not!) from MLK embedded in the new Oval Office carpet.

Alinsky’s picture hangs right between Marx and Trotsky.

According to Alinsky, the organizer — especially a paid organizer from outside — must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community life where people have simply come to accept a bad situation. Alinsky would say, “The first step in community organization is community disorganization.” http://www.vcn.bc.ca/citizens-handbook/rules.html

Tonight Newt should say, “one of the first things I will do in the WH is make sure there are no left over Alisky rules for radicals books or pictures,or worshiping statues.”

I wonder if Obama’s thugs will remove all the N and G keys from WH office keyboards.

Obama has his lips and ears.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Bad angle I don’t see the prayer kneeler in front of it.Or the Alinsky water fonts Obama splashes on himself before the teleprompter is fired up.Or his prayer rug to radical terrorists.

[Grizzled Bear]

His campaign workers displayed pictures of “Che” at their offices so nothing would surprise me.

“Obama has his lips and ears.”

Actually, I think Obama has Malcolm X’s lips and ears!

Someone call Mark Levin’s show: 1-877-381-3811 and read him the first few paragraphs of this thread.

Aren't those the eyes and expression of cold-blooded murderer? I mean the kind that could sign an execution order for millions without losing a moment of sleep.
