In his Rules for Radicals, a book that Alinsky ironically dedicated to Lucifer, “the very first radical” [2], Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing,
“There’s another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski [sic] [3] said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They 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 change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don’t encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let’s not let it happen by default..”[4]
The Palin team should HAMMER this...
I'm a visionary, really, really smart and have been rebuffed by people who seem to get their jobs by being networked to the "inside the beltway" crowd. Am I frustrated, yeah, I am. We all should be.
Hopefully, someone who visits this forum knows somebody inside one of the campaigns. I just hope they can get the word to the right person and tell them to exploit this admission by one of our arch-enemies that BHO is following Alinsky's playbook to the letter.
