Yep. Middle America is about to get an education on Alinsky’s “Community Organizers”.
I don’t think you’re being fair to agitators. I doubt that they have ever done the damage Obama did to the community in Chicago. See article linked in #21.
Like most of what Obama says, the term "Community Organizer" can be traced back to Saul Alinsky.
He defines the role. It is the job of the Community Organizer to spread discontent in a community and then play upon their diverse fears and weaknesses to galvanize them into providing the "Community Organizer" with a power base.
In other words, it is the recruiting and manipulation of "useful idiots"
Stories from the two novels he wrote being passed off as autobiographies.
In Cleveland, Ward Captains serve the same purpose and it’s the Dennis Kucinich way.
I don’t think he accidentally married Michelle. She was very well-connected to the Chicago machine. Quite convenient for his Chicago career.
Use the correct term:
Party Organizer.
“Someone on a Hillary website mentioned that Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin were all community organizers.”
Wow, lol
Basically, the civilian equivalent of the political commissar.

THE 10 RULES OF THE ETHICS OF MEANS AND ENDS
Alinsky presents a set of “rules” on the ethics of means and ends.
http://www.answers.com/topic/saul-alinsky
Alinsky was a critic of a passive and ineffective mainstream liberalism. In Rules for Radicals, he argued that the most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired ends, and that an intermediate end for radicals should be democracy because of its relative ease to work within to achieve other ends of social justice.
The left is dominated by the old, Marxist, cum “radical” tactic of “the ends justifies the means” and that morality is simply a set of perceptions of the people, either as a weapon against the socialist, or a tool set for him to utilize. And the goal, mind you, is to control and manipulate the people in order to gain the power they need — in order to (funny part here) empower the people. Worked really well in Asia, last Century.
Strategy: Lie; pretend to be a democrat interested in freedom and the common principles of one’s milieu. Become messianic if you can to get power. Focus on the felt problems of the masses. But gain power however you can.
