Putting Lipstick on the Community Organizing Pig

Putting Lipstick on the Community Organizing Pig By Kyle-Anne Shiver No matter how much lipstick, finery and linguistic switcheroo Obama employs, his gig as a community organizer is still just a fancy-dancy way of explaining the role of a paid people's agitator.

Lipstick doesn't change a thing.

And it most certainly does not make agitating for taxpayer money, money, money a charitable enterprise.

Since when did training panhandlers to be organized and angry rise to the level of social service?

In the immortal words of Obama's political mentor, Saul Alinsky, an organizer's job is to "rub raw the sores of discontent" and mount a socialist revolution. In the 1930s and 40s, Alinsky called his revolutionary forces "People's Organizations," but once the word "people" became so tainted by the brutalities of communist "people's republics," he changed the code word to "community," hoping to make it sound more American and neighborly.

But make no mistake. From Alinsky's initial Back of the Yards labor movement, to his Industrial Areas Foundation, where Obama first learned his own "community organizing" tactics, the goal was always revolution.

Agitate and aggravate. Those are the responsibilities of the paid "community organizer."

Prepare the people for the trials of the revolution. The people, according to Alinsky, "must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future" of change, change, change.

As Alinsky said quite clearly in his revolutionary manifesto, Reveille for Radicals:

Did someone mention lipstick on a Pig?

You know it really is true, you can put lipstick on a sexist pig, and it is still just a sexist pig.

The people, according to Alinsky, "must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future" of change, change, change.

I have seen this technique referred to as "miserification." The left tries to convince people that they're miserable. In some places, it goes even further and makes the situation worse - in Latin America, the leftists frequently attack local community aid or education programs. The same thing was true when the Communists attempted to take over Spain: they killed priests and religious for being Christians, but focused first on those who ran programs or schools that worked with the poor.

Right now, we have a press that does the work of "community organizers," working overtime to create an environment of negativity and despair and to convince Americans that the end of the world has come and only the great Obama-Oz can save them.

This is an excellent article and provides lots of facts, btw.

My dad has often said that the job of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is to spread “hate and discontent.”

That picture of zerObama, minus the lipstick, looks like a picture I've seen of Mussolini.

It is dripping with arrogance.

Asses and camels are species worthy of consideration for interspecies intercourse according to their cultural values. Contact with pigs sends them to hell minus 72 virgins.

That comparison has been made before of that pic, the original pic was taken during debate with Hillary Clinton, he is actually looking down his nose at Hillary Clinton. Once a sexist pig, always a sexist pig.

This article is so spot on.

I have been trying to get the same message out for month, I just don’t have the eloquence.

Note that Obama is STILL using the same tactics. His campaign is run along the same miserification and rabble rousing activities, complete with the non specific goals of “Hope and Change”.

I think Hillary took one of Saul Alinsky’s Community Organizer courses and Saul offered her a position, but she decided to go to law school instead. They remained friends until his death. She wrote her Wellesly College senior paper on the Alinsky Method. While in law school she did an internship with former Communist Party USA lawyer Robert Treuhaft’s law firm as a reward for hard work trying to derail the prosecution of the murder trial of a Black Panther (also a Marxist organization)
