No, actually, we have Glenn Beck & co. to thank
for re-introducing us to Alinsky.
I said this already though apparently need to reiterate. We have Democrats to thank for the importance of Alinsky, and the hiding thereof. Then when some writer long before Glenn Beck made the connection, as usual we ended up in a situation with conservative voices on radio, television and elsewhere reporting the hushed-up story of our world and correcting the deceit of the media elite and their demonic worker bees in the Democratic Party.
Who actually was a good guy, he worked to help poor people
He taught people to lie in order to win political fights, even to the extent of attacking decent. Mobsters and tyrants have typically given things to the poor in order to build a base of support. Nothing special there.
and fight against racism.
1. Democrats were THE PARTY of slavery.
2. They went on to found the KKK.
3. A hundred years later there they were again defending segregation.
But as noted already, they are liars. Pretending these days to oppose racism has been working for them. But we know they have hateful dark hearts even today by way of laboring with their masters in the media to trick young kids into blaming Republicans for racism.
And he published his activist techniques so obviously it can't be such a deep dark secret as all that with all the books and stuff
Truth is rarely a dark secret. Combine intellectual laziness, a coercive thieving welfare state with an organized effort by the largest media operations on the planet to demonize their opponents and cover-up reality, and you get widespread ignorance among the masses despite truth being readily available.
It was you deploying the idea of a dark secret, that in a transparent effort to make me look like a conspiracy kook, your 4th or 5th in that vein thus far.
You've done a decent job at convincing each other of some crazy stuff, I guess.
You are either an earnest and highly misinformed individual (the most difficult to de-program) who believes what the liars tell, that this type of stuff is crazy, or an apologist for the left. If the former, know that millions join you in the mental prison of a fabricated world in which conservatives run around speaking craziness to each other.
Not that I particularly can tell what you're talking about there,
I know better. You are quite able to tell what I am talking about.
but I have to keep sending most of my right-wing friends to fact check sites to correct what they've been "taught" by other right-wing sources.
I have myself been to some of those leftist "fact-check" sites. Nothing more than covering the bases. Marxist propaganda fills wikipedia, the youtube comment area and videos, obviously the mainstream media, the schools, the music and movie industries.
Now humans DO make mistakes. That's where Saul Alinsky's 4th Rule for Radicals comes into play, demand perfection from an opponent so that he gets lost defending an impossibility, being perfect, rather than sticking to the overall idea.
...which didn't impress Clinton, even back in the 1960s.
We already drove around the block once on this question. Liars lie. Hillary and the Democrats ARE the embodiment of Saul Alinsky. That is easily concluded by witnessing them over a period of time. Of course she would deny that, however, because the majority are willing to believe anything spoken so long as it falls into alignment with the other planets, meaning the professional liars at ABC, NBC, NPR and CBS, the movie and music industries and the schools, plus Jon Stewart.
We only get one of these lives. Do you want to spend it either believing or, perhaps, maliciously defending a lie?
