Kabar:
“The only part I found interesting was her comparison of Alinsky to Debs, Whitman, and MLK.”

Everyone will have their own take on this which is why it belongs on the internet.

My favorite line is on pgs 7-8

“The key word for an Alinsky-type organizing effort is ‘power.’ The question is how one acquires power, and Alinsky’s answer is through organization… For Alinsky, power is the ‘very essence of life, the dynamic of life’ and is found in ‘…active citizen participation pulsing upward providing a unified strength for a common purpose of organization….’”

If material like this (pulsing upward providing a unified strength) gets before the general public, we will finally be able to see Hillary as the passionate, sexual creature she really is. (sarc)

What is significant is what Hillary says or opines, not the quotes she takes from Alinsky. I don't see what the fuss is about. As I said, her thesis will be fawned over by the MSM who will portray her as an articulate, intellectual with a surprising grasp of American social movements and political philosophy at such an early age.

I think the GOP would be making a mistake making this into some sort of cause celebre imputing Alinksi's views as Hillary's. George Allen's campaign tried something similar by taking excerpts out of Webb's novels to portray him as some sort of pervert. It doesn't work and just burnishes the image of the person you are attacking.

I don't understand the "out" part. Care to elaborate? I just found your comments to lack specificity in terms of how this thesis will hurt Hillary. I read all of it and could not come up with anything specific in that regard, save the comparison I mentioned. And I tried very hard to find a hook to hang her on. Hillary's election would be a disaster for this country no matter what is in her thesis.
