WaPo Blogger: Saul Alinsky Inspired Conservatives, Not Obama…
Why doesn’t the left embrace their heritage?
Saul Alinsky would be so disappointed: Obama breaks ‘Rules for Radicals’ — WaPo
Newt Gingrich is only the latest in a long line of conservatives who have accused President Obama of being a “Saul Alinsky radical.” And Alinsky, who died when the president was 11, would delight in all the free PR. But he also would be the first to say Obama does not much resemble that remark.
In fact, if Alinsky were alive today, he’d surely be camped out in front of the White House, using every trick in his book, “Rules for Radicals,” to point out the many ways in which the president is not an infiltrator of the dreaded establishment, but the personification of it.
Oh, Alinsky and Obama do have a few things in common: Both lived in Chicago and were community organizers there, though that is a little like saying both Freud and my old roommate Lisa were psychotherapists.
Both Alinsky and Obama were highly pragmatic self-described change agents, too. And as I have pointed out before, if you think Obama was initially hailed as “The One,” check out the 1940 editorial in the New York Herald Tribune that said if Alinsky’s work bringing people together to improve their own neighborhood in Chicago’s notorious Back of the Yards meat-packing district could be replicated across the country, “it may well mean the salvation of our way of life.’’

More and more reasons why we cant trust the WASHINGTON COMPOST and the rest of the leftists news media reptiles
“Both lived in Chicago and were community organizers there, though that is a little like saying both Freud and my old roommate Lisa were psychotherapists.”

Both are Communists…..
Obummers worships Satan and the book was dedicated to Satan by Alinsky, who is Obama’s hero. They just love to twist things around like the American People cannot think for themselves. Why is Times, WaPo, Newsweek and the New York Slimes still in business because Soros funds them. Why anyone would buy from them is beyond me?
Pass the bong.
Demoralizing and destabilizing the nation is a major, conscious practice of liberalism exercised by the media and politicians, but don’t you dare call them Alinskyites!
OWS is just like the Tea Party, but don’t you dare associate them with those racist, religious homophobes!
American welfare programs have been a liberal’s pride and joy for decades, but don’t you dare call him the Food Stamp President!
America lost her soul in the sixties, if not before. Stick a fork in her, she’s done.
Uhm, WTF?
I would add that the other influence in Dear Leader’s life was one Frank Marshall Davis, whom I believe was also a huge Alinsky follower, acolyte, etc.
You do have to wonder these days, just how many of these so called writers, or reporters are on drugs?
Liberals love to live in the fantastical world of:
“What he/she WOULD have said”
Which is probably an Alinsky tactic itself.
Really? Socialist Shrillary wrote her senior honors thesis on her idol and fellow Satan-lover, Alinsky.
Just wondering if time travel ever happens, what would be the ramifications of traveling back in time to get these mothers to abort this horrid offspring?
But wait…Alinsky died when Obama was only 11 so how can we have pictures of the “professor” teaching Alinsky tactics? That can’t be. Remember when the media tried to tell us Billy Ayers was “just a guy” in the neighborhood? Obama was only 9 when Ayers conspired to blow up things. Same tactics, same game.
Somebody on FNC stated that Obama taught Saul Alinsky at University. Of course, we need his college records to confirm it.
The name CHICAGO is dereived from a indian word meaning BAD SMELL and from the way their sity politics are and former mayor RICHARD DALEY the name suit it
Saul and his cigarette. Love that picture.
In the picture, Alinsky is standing outside Michael’s Tap Room. Too bad he did not go inside and receive a “double tap”.
