PLAYBOY: It was also pretty cynical and manipulative.

ALINSKY: It was a simple example of good organizing. And what's wrong with it? ....

Notice the counter-challenge by Alinsky? The interviewer already told him "what's wrong with it".

But the interviewer sheers off and changes topics. What odds this wasn't something Alinsky has done 1000 times before?

Rush Limbaugh is right and we should take the gloves off!

We can't fight as dirty as the Democrats because we don't appreciate wallowing in slime, but we should do something to fight against those neo Communists.

The end certainly doesn't justify the means, but if we're dealing with opponents who practice that then we should have some means that we would not employ in ordinary decent lives.

Life is rife with low down pond scum like Alinsky and Soros. Being like them is not the goal, I hope.

We don’t need to employ the same tactics. We have the truth on our side. And truth will out!

What we must continue to do, over and over again, is get the truth out. We must make sure that we educate the public. We tell the truth. We make sure that kids know what’s in the Constitution and the Declaration. We make sure our countrymen understand the “soul” of man — that he is flawed and will easily fall to the dark side.

People love the story of good and evil. They always root for good. They want to be on the “right” side. It’s up to us to make sure they know we are the right, the truthful side.

,/p> Alinsky's last quote in the interview touched on that location

From the article

ALINSKY:....Let's say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.

PLAYBOY: Why?

ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I've been with the have-nots. Over here, if you're a have-not, you're short of dough. If you're a have-not in hell, you're short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I'll start organizing the have-nots over there.

PLAYBOY: Why them?

ALINSKY: They're my kind of people.

Saul Alinsky died a few months later, on June 12, 1972.

I’m sure his cockiness has since cooled.

Obviously, the guy was a full-blown psychopath, completely incapable of normal empathy with other people.

I rather doubt his cafeteria story; one would think that the waitresses would be smart enough to know that he was handing them the wrong check.

I hope he goes to heaven with the Mormons like Saddam in South Park.

I am sure he didn’t believe in heaven or hell.

Among the stupidest things people say is that hell would be more interesting, or more sociable, than heaven.

In hell, everyone hates everyone else. There’s no “fun.”

[Saul Alinsky died a few months later, on June 12, 1972]

Anyone interested in how he died? According to records he collapsed and died on the street from heart failure.

Convenient reason . . .

Or did the mob get angry with him?

We are discussing tactics here. Good tactics in a given situation are good tactics.

If the link is not set would someone else properly code it?

Alinsky: small-scale grifter

Obama: world-class grifter

Thank you for posting it. I wonder how it would read if you replaced Capone's name with Alinsky and Alinsk's name with Obama? Might just open it in Word and give it a try.

It's all there, isn't it? Anyway - thanks for posting a road map to what is happening before our own eyes, in our own country, in our own time.
