Alinsky Rules Return For Obama

Opinion • October 2011 • Views: 1,027

Politics: The hippie horde attempting to mob and “occupy” Wall Street this week has a method to its madness. It’s all about getting President Obama re-elected by employing classic Alinskyite tactics.

At first glance, the latest protests staged by left-wing rent-a-mobs in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and elsewhere don’t look terribly different from the World Trade Organization and global debt-amnesty spectaculars of a decade ago. Radicals swarm against some hated totem, chant, break a few Starbucks windows and leave scads of garbage for someone else to clean up.

But the “Occupy Wall Street” mob that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge last weekend and drew 700 arrests bears all the earmarks of a professional political machine effort to keep Obama in the White House.

Automatic downding for linking undifferentiated IBD blather. Not even worth reading and responding.

Oh no! It’s the big mean “hippie horde”. They are a’ occupying and a’ mobbing!
Manhattanites, hide all your raw food!
Why they’re liable to start referring to God as “she” and handing out free shots of wheat grass juice!

I guess protests are only legitimate if they’re from a right wing point of view and directed against Democrats. What a load of shit htis article is. Alinksy tactics, hippie horde, what a waste of space.

What unmitigated crap. When the right does it (teabaggers), it’s patriotic. When the left does it, it’s a mob. The right is looking like fools using this argument.

“Rent-a-mobs”? What the fuck does that mean?

As someone who has actually read Alinsky’s books, I can say this is all baloney.

Hey, it’s a job. If you tax the rent-a-mobs, you’re killing American job creation.

Alinksy?!

Seriously?
Alinsky?!

I see that they’re rolling out the ol’ Alinsky crap again. Let’s see - what can come next? Probably going back to calling Obama a Muslim/Marxist/Socialist/Communist/Fascist, bitching about Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. Anyone care to place a bet?

Pretty much yeah. They did the same thing with anti war protesters in the Bush years.

I think that this dictator-loving birth defect, A.M. Mora y Leon, needs to be seriously put in its place.
