That guy from Fox is making life for Carney very tough lately.

Well OP, thanks to this obsession of yours, I learned something today. I learned that FOX and The Blaze and all of the other outlets that single-mindedly focus on single issues are the biggest followers of Alinsky out there.

Puts lots of things into perspective for me, not least of which is the likelihood that some are just afraid that the president might start using their playbook.

Did you read the book?

I guess it was just awful when Alinsky forced the city to pick up trash in the poor neighborhoods the same number of times a week they picked up in the rich neighborhoods.

Imagine the nerve of those poor people...wanting their trash picked up!!

I suspect there is "A Portrait of Saul Alinsky" in the WH. It's book, but I can see why the RWers are confused, they don't do books.

Wow, so we know that the first BO Christmas had at least one of their Christmas trees adorned with a Mao ornament, and now we have a picture of Alinsky in the white House?
Boggles the mind to ponder what else is in OUR White House besides those two.

Oh! it has made news when past First ladies redecorated our house. Hmm.....more red to honor Communist China? It's a good guess~

Why did defendant Obama return the Churchill bust and opt for Alinsky?



Here it is in Churchill's own words...

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

-- Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).

Damn! I guess I'm a radical/communist, also!
I live on a dead end street and the trash truck driver gets lazy sometimes and doesn't bother to pick up my trash. I call the township and complain! Sometimes I form a group of like-minded residents and go to township meetings and we all speak our opinions on whatever the township wants to do! Oh, MY, I'm a community organizer!!!

Oh, and BTW, it wasn't my intention to make a 'big list' of items.

So, I guess no one who calls Alinsky a communist read any of his books, right?

How will you know when you can't even tell that's a faked picture? LOL
Gullible...
