Hillary wrote an analysis of Alinsky's methods for her senior thesis at Wellesley College. They remained friends until Alinsky's death in 1972.
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.
This is open for discusssion, as I'd like to know how you all feel....Saul Alinsky's technique has been filtered into politics for years....years....
I stated that the way Hitler took over was one in the same.....
In my opinion both parties have been using this technique, but under the Obama Administration, it sure has been speeded up...
What is your opinion.....?

Reason: off topic
Of course it is. The left has lost the battle of ideas. Their policy failures are sitting there for anyone with a brain to observe. So, the strategy is attack anyone who disagrees with their failed ideology. Textbook Alinsky.

It is going to result in armed conflict between the people who own private property and the people who want to use the government to redistribute it, that's why.

They are not fighting a "battle of ideas". They are fighting a battle for votes, which is not the same thing.
They know their agenda is unwanted by normal Americans. So they lie about it, a lot, and try to fool people into voting for it anyway. And they have been resoundingly successful, even getting Obama re-elected in 2012 despite Obamacare being passed and exposed to scrutiny for two years.
As long as you keep thinking they are fighting a "battle of ideas", YOU will continue to lose.

ok, thank you, anything else you'd like to add? Trying to get a discussion going about this....I believe, it is truly dangerous for many reasons....and unfortunately most Americans are not aware of this or it's effects and how it's been used over the years....

My opinion is that you should actually read Alinsky and get back to me.

I think you are both right, for this reason....
When you fight a battle of ideas....motivation interjects....so, the battle of ideas, has been proposed for years by the liberal media....they interject they're ideas....and people believe it....
So if they're agenda is unwanted by normal Americans, how can they take over?
