Saul Alinskys son: Obama learned his lesson well »
Posted By RedRiverJ 1 year, 1 month ago in Political NewsIn Artful Dodger style, Barack Obama, plays down his mentorship with Communist author Saul Alinsky. But Alinsky’s son, L. David Alinsky, credits Obama for “learning his lesson well” from the Communist guru.
Says Alinsky’s son L. David Alinsky of his father’s influence at the Dem Convention: “ALL the elements were present: the individual stories told by real people of their situation and hardships, the packed-to-the rafters crowd, the crowd’s chanting of key phrases and names, the action on the spot of texting and phoning to show instant support and commitment to jump into the political battle, the rallying selections of music, the setting of the agenda by the power people.”

People need to know that "The Messiah" is a true-life socialist, marxist. Mainstreet Americans would turn against him in droves if they really knew. Thanks to the liberal media, Nancy Pelosi and others they have instead made Obama a rock star so cool it's in to be OBAMA, no matter what he is in reality.

FTA-It is a fact that activist-*** senator Barack Hussein Obama started off his career as an activist with a position as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious conference (CCRC) in Chicago. Both the CCRC and the DCP were built on the Alinsky model of community agitation, wherein paid organizers learned, in Alinsky’s own words, how to “rub raw the sores of discontent”.

That is exactly what Obama and the Democrats do “rub raw the sores of discontent”. Class warfare, take from the rich give to the poor, political correctness to the point it is insane. You can't misspeak, you can't dislike anyone without being negatively labeled by the PC police. -

But, Red...The thing is, after 8 years in which Bush gave out all manner of freebies and welfare to corporations (and even continues to do it this very moment) we're ALL suspicious of that word "socialism" coming from cons. When wingnuts react with stony silence when Bushco gives away billions in no-bid contracts and gives away six figure Justice Department jobs to extremely poorly educated cons from low-rated right wing religious zealot law schools, we REALLY do not give a CRAP what you think of "the Messiah." You nutjobs allowed Bush to destroy the world's economy and you STILL think he's a god so you really need to think these things through when you post your lame fear and smear CRAP articles about Obama. The term "socialism" coming from low IQ cons means ZERO. ZILCH. ;-(

The Artful Dodger may be less than pleased that he has been pegged as a Saul Alinsky Poster Boy by the guru’s own son.
“Barack Obama’s training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness,” Alinsky Jr. wrote to the Globe. “It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well.
“I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.” -

“Alinsky considered himself a realist above all, the ultimate pragmatist.” (American Thinker, Aug. 30, 2008). “As a confirmed atheist, Alinsky believed that the here and now is all there is, and therefore had no qualms about assorted versions of morality in the pursuit of worldly power. He didn’t coddle his radical acolytes or encourage their bourgeois distinctions between good and evil when it came to transferring power from the Haves to the Have Nots. Alinsky saw the already formed church communities as being the perfect springboards for agitation and creating bonds for demanding goods and services.”
Obama followed the same path.
It is a fact that activist-*** senator Barack Hussein Obama started off his career as an activist with a position as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious conference (CCRC) in Chicago.

When Michael Moore endorsed Obama back in the spring, he said he was endorsing "Obama the movement" more than "Obama the man." Obama "the movement" scares me to death. I wonder what Moore will think when Obama's "truth squads" turn their attention to his semi-documentaries? Or maybe free speech should only apply to SOME of us?

"Well ya ain't been doin' nothin

if ya ain't been called a red.
If you've marched or agitated
then you're bound to hear it said.
So you might as well ignore it
or love the word instead,
Cause ya ain't been doin' nothing
If you ain't been called a red."

Used to read Mr. Alinsky too. Never saw anything in his writing that suggested he was a Marxist-Leninist. Went to Wikipedia and some other sources. Didn't see anything there suggesting that he was Marxist-Leninist. I guess this is just another right wing, "Everybody who doesn't agree with us is a communist," fest. You guys are laughable.
