Is Obama Following Saul Alinski's Rules For Radicals?

[West]

absolutely, yes:http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/05/how-saul-alinsky-taught-obama-to-say-one-thing-and-do-the-oppositehttp://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/red-pill-blue-bill/2012/aug/19/whole-lotta-shakin-goin/"Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite. Trained by Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation, Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project. Later, he worked with ACORN and its offshoot Project Vote , both creations of the Alinsky network. Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer . That Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama share an Alinskyite background tells us two things. First, they are leftists, dedicated to overthrowing our Constitutional system. Second, they will go to any length to conceal their radicalism from the public. That is the Alinsky method. And that is today's Democratic Party."from http://rense.com/general80/fon.htm   tuppence 17 months ago http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/05/how-saul-alinsky-taught-obama-to-say-one-thing-and-do-the-opposite

That doesn't explain why you keep asking the same questions. In my opinion, all being pounded over the head with the same questions/info does is dull its impact, making it that much more likely to be ignored, so you're really doing yourself a disservice. Your choice, of course. Have a nice day, Rock.   Tundra 17 months ago

Not really, no. But I'd say the Teabaggers are.   gabrielhusseinnova 17 months ago http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/askville/3825981_answers/1345573909398_282295404916969554897273993534n.jpg

Ya know, Republicans have created this completely fictional President. His name is Barack X and he's an Islamo-Socialist revolutionary who's coming for your guns, raising your taxes, slashing the military, apologizing to other countries and taking his cues from Europe --- or worse yet, Saul Alinksy!And this is how politics has changed. You used to have to run against an actual candidate. But now, you just recreate him inside the bubble and run against your new fictional candidate. That's how Bush won in 2004: By running against John Kerry --- a French war criminal.And speaking of Bush, I know conservatives are saying, "Oh, Bill, come on, Democrats did the same thing to him!" No. Say what you will about the Left's hatred of Bush, at least we were hating on the real guy.We didn't invent a bogey-man who tanked the economy, took us to war on false pretenses and tortured prisoners. That was the actual guy!But run down the list of complaints about Fantasy Obama: He wants to raise your taxes, even though he's lowered them; confiscate your guns, even though he's never mentioned it; and read terrorists their rights --- yeah, like he did Tuesday in Somalia......You see the difference is, the Republicans hatred of Obama is based on a paranoid feeling about what he might do, what he's thinking, what he secretly wants to change. Anger with Bush was based on what he actually did. What Bush was thinking didn't matter, because he wasn't.   Max20characters 17 months ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtLEPPgbNyM&feature=player_embedded

No more so than Mitt Romney, a mega-millionaire whose first priority before closing the debt or reinvesting in the county's infrastructure is to reduce taxes on mega millionaires.When you listen to what Beck and Hannity CLAIM to be Obama's agenda, it sounds that way. When you look at what Obama has done, his record appears more conservative than the Republican Presidents prior to Reagan. Even health care reform was to some degree a giveaway to private industry, creating millions of new customers at the cost of a few new rules.   FreelanceMinion 17 months ago

You want an honest answer? From all your questions here. Wasn't sure you meant, Alinski, tho', hence my question. I'm not terribly familiar with him, tho' researched him way back when you asked this question the first time. Why do you keep asking the same questions?   Tundra 17 months ago

So, you don't want to admit you didn't even know Alinsky was dead, and that he didn't hold a fundraiser for Obama. Deflect and deny...   *Lin* 17 months ago

When he gave money to huge corporations without requiring they keep track of it then followed the war plan of the conservative administration before him?No, I'd say he's not following any "radical" rules at all. He's actually acting in ways I would have expected G.H.W Bush to act.   FreelanceMinion 17 months ago
