Saul Alinsky Died 40 Years Ago Today

Posted on 06/12/2013 6:21:26 PM PDT by artichokegrower

Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 – June 12, 1972)

From Playboy interview:

ALINSKY: ... 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.

In that Alinsky died in Carmel by the Sea California he didn't exactly hang out with the have-nots.

Alinsky never had any good intentions about helping the poor. He saw them as tools and wanted even more of them and wanted them to suffer for his own goals. Satan laid claim to Alinsky early.

I’m not going to do it tonight but I’ll see if I can dig up some articles that quote him on his true feelings about the poor.

Must read: Saul Alinsky’s 25,000 word interview with Playboy Magazine in 1972

so great is America, and so great her decline, that it seems God has allowed the devil himself, not some mere proxy, to chastise.

Osama Obama will be right next to his hero and mentor someday.Let's hope that it's cancer or a heart attack that takes him out and takes him out *very* soon.

Did ya hear that,Secret Service? I said natural causes...not violence!

Ten bucks says just like Mao and Chavez who followed him to hell his chant was about the poor but he,personally,was worth many millions when he died.

Interesting, I’d guess it’s true as that is the way God seems to do things. At least that’s what I’ve been taught.

Saul Alinsky was a liar.. that believed lies.. was raised on lies, couldn’t tell the truth if he backed over it and tripped..

Much like any democrat.. but a few were more evil than he.. they trained him..
BAd News.. a malefactor.. the gene pool was cleaner after he died..

...but you’ll notice nobody else does the Alinsky stuff ~ just the Chicago crowd.

Yeah, the crowd that now controls the White House and the American news media, has passed communist health care, and is about to finish off America with "immigration reform". That crowd.

Maybe I’m not understanding you evidence of genius.

The success the Democrats have had in destroying America using Alinsky's tactics isn't evidence enough for you? The fact that, thanks to smooth use of Alinsky tactics, an African communist and the Chicago mob now control the White House and the entire executive branch, and can operate lawlessly with impunity isn't evidence enough for you? Yikes. I can't help you then.

Good luck.

Someone actually wanting to go to hell?!!! I have read about many near death experiences regarding hell and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to go there.

I read about this one teenager who went to hell, was given mercy by our Lord and when he came back, he could not stop screaming.

Shudder.

I had one of those near-death experiences too when I was a teneger. Let’s just say I wasn’t going to Disney World. If what I saw really was Hell then what suprised me were 2 things: how many souls were there; and that it will take less than 1 second to regret everything.

and to think it was all out there in black and white 40 years ago...back when his name was much more familiar...we can’t begin to claim ignorance.

Sorry, that doesn’t qualify as genius to me, it’s just plain evil. Taking advantage and using the down trodden has been around forever, and to think barry got here by those methods is a bit much.

Enjoy your own brilliance. Thanks for the reply. Just can’t figure why folks choose to be so darn snarky here, are we not all on the same team?

‘Rules for Radicals’ is a masterpiece of political tactics, and clearly the methods work. You should also read up on the “diamond technique” and other interesting political tactics. Here’s a Free Republic thread about a few.

Or, enjoy your own ignorance and self pity.

My ignorance and self pity?! bwwahahah

This place is crawling with attitude and my God, a simple disagreement on an opinion of genius brings this response, really?

For the record, I didn’t say old saul the freak wasn’t effective, I said that I wouldn’t call him a genius.
