A must view.

Fascinating doco. The late great agitator Saul Alinsky at work on the Rama Indian Reservation in Canada.

A rare glimpse at how the man who inspired Barack Obama actually worked.

Fascinating Video of Alinsky in (frustrated) action with Canadian Indians ("First People" or whatever they're calling themselves these days).

I rather like the man and his take on things, and see no reason, BTW, that his methods cannot be incorporated by us conservatives.

Here’s the video for those interested in viewing it directly:

I hope you forgot the /s on your comments.

I believe they are known as the “First Canuks” ~ something like that, but otherwise Mohawk, Chippewa, etc.

Thanks, humblegunner.

However, I always think it’s a good idea to direct people to Trevor Louden’s site so they can discover the incredible wealth of pertinent info he has to offer there. It is the most extensive gold mine of such info available. The Two-Degrees-of-Obama crowd one could assemble based on his info would fill a stadium with Marxists.

The hypocrisy of it is, CORE RACIST obama gets the plan for all of his ideology from a WHITE MAN...go figure....

His comment is right about you don’t want get down in the dirt cause you might get dirty (something like that). That is what is wrong with the Republicans as a political party, it is why the Dems beat them every time.

The man was evil. Remember he dedicate his books to SATAN.

Funny - maybe the first thing they decided to do was stop calling themselves “INDIANS” as they so freely do in this video. Now, I believe, they are “Native Peoples”

That would be pure Alinsky, wouldn’t it? If you want to change something, first change its name.

Many Alinsky techniques are morally and ethically compatible with conservative values. Hey! Hasn't Rush Limbaugh ( the master of talk radio) been using ridicule for 2 decades now?

Conservatives should study Alinsky and ( where morally and ethically appropriate) use his methods against the Marxist/fascists.

Alinsky: 5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

Palin: "Obama has no cajones."

Yes, but I think Palin’s observation also fulfills the Left’s constant admonition to “Speak truth to power.” :)

His method, as he demonstrated when the "idealist" among the band challenged him, is to have a tantrum. I think the jerk never grew up.
