Mitt Romney’s Dad Was an Alinsky Follower

Quote:
The mere mention of the name Saul Alinsky has become an epithet on the 2012 GOP presidential campaign trail.

In a 1968 biography of the governor [George Romney], he tells his political allies: “I think we ought to listen to Alinsky.”

The Library of Congress preserved these photographs of what appears to be a meeting between the two men on September 13, 1967 in Rochester, New York - Photos

Interesting.

Well we know Mitt doesn't follow his dads lead. He wont even follow his dads lead in releasing several years of tax returns to assure the voters that this one year wasn't staged. What we do know is that Cayman Romney is slimy.

The whole Alinsky thing is getting old.

No one knew who the guy was a week ago, now folks can't stop saying his name.

Lol. Let me know when you find a picture of George Romney participating in a sit-in sitting next to Abbie Hoffman. THEN I'll believe he was a follower of Saul Alinsky.

Romney was about as radical as white paint on a car.

Where do people come up with this stuff?
