Saul Alinsky who?
Right wing conspiracy nuts are like little boys on a treasure hunt. They don’t even find fool’s gold; they find candy wrappers that are color-coded gold. Eureka! I found the secret plan that the left utilizes! This is like the secret files of the KGB! Not really! The medical explanation might be they suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder. ADD might be useful for deer hunting but I wouldn’t want one doing brain surgery on me. People with ADD cannot be analytical or engage in logical deduction; they only emotionally react to incomprehensible stimuli. What’s that! I don’t know! Let’s hit it with a stick! Their mantra of, "Common sense" is a call to the masses not to be abstract but to submit to the oblivious. It other words, be smart but not intellectual! Intelligence is elitist! Actually if you think about it, the IQ of this nation would go up a few notches then we would live in a democratic utopia if Joe six-pack read 10 minutes a day from a objective source. Sitting on your skinny butt watching Glen Beck telling about you Saul Alinsky and Acorn does not constitute an informed electric but a usufructuary being manipulated by an ADD addled huckster.
So who is this Saul Alinsky? He is one of the thousands of professors of the left wing intelligentsia. He wrote books NOT manuals how to conduct guerilla warfare. His material was mostly theoretical which a lot of academe does. I never heard of him until the right uttered his name of late. Maybe if they invoked the name of Che Guevara that would more acceptable but Saul Alinsky?
What is disturbing is, every time the right demonizes a left wing bogeyman they just happen to be Jewish. Saul like George Soros is Jewish. Is it just coincidental? Why is that? Passive/aggressive anti-Semitism? You can’t engage in the subject of anti-Semitism with out incurring a torrid of passions. My whole point is, Saul Alinsky means nothing to me and I have been a lefty going 42 years! When the left employs a tacit or strategy it is a long drawn out process of voting and debating. We do not read manuals.
