WOW! A Real Troll Talking About #@&* He knows NOTHING Abo

"I'm still confused by the fact that people seem to think I should be offended by the idea of a fart-in."

I think what was most offensive about it was that Alinsky insisted that the "farters" be black people for some reason. Also, it is important to understand that the "farters" (black people) had no idea they were being used in this fashion. They were all supposed to be under the impression they had won some contest for a free dinner and a free night out. It's exploitive .

Mikey, is the Idiot Calling ANYONE WHO DISAGREES with him, Dumb!

ANYONE who disagrees with Mikey, who is not gay (wink wink) is dumb. Yes, Mikey, you have not given any facts just your right wing editorials. NOTHING MORE!

Saul Alinsky = Traitor/Communist/Socialist/Community Organizer

Pat Robertson,Bryan Fischer, Tony Perkins=Tolerant good decent Christians who live their lives by the teachings of Jesus Christ and has shown warmth and compassion as the Lord Savior has.

Why are you so driven by hate and OBSESSED With Saul Alinsky and Bill Maher? Why is Saul so bad but these extreme Christian nut jobs okay in your book, and I am assuming you have nothing bad to say about them since you failed to answer the question asked of you.


Mikey, you LIED about Obama saying he had never heard of Alinsky. No where in the video I posted to Maher say it or Obama yet you have claimed he said it. You can't back it up. You ignore me asking you to back it up and can't. Start taking your meds!

Mikey, I'm sure you know more about Alinsky than I do, but none of the accounts of the proposed fart-in that I've read indicate that it was something he was foisting on black people.

As I understand it, sometime in the 1960s, some African-American leaders in Rochester, NY, asked Alinsky for help in organizing their community and securing concessions from the town's leading employer, Eastman-Kodak.

And that's when he floated (hah!) the idea of the fart-in.

Oh dear GOD!! OK, I'll bite!!

"NYONE who disagrees with Mikey, who is not gay (wink wink) is dumb."

Why do you hate gay people? What do you have against gay people? Why are you such a homophobe?

"Mikey, you LIED about Obama saying he had never heard of Alinsky."

Where and when did I say this?? Please do not paraphrase. Ask someone to show you how to use the COPY and PASTE functions on your special keyboard and quote the post where I said anything about OBAMA saying he had never heard of Alinsky.

Direct quote Sweetie!

"Alinsky is considered the king of community organizers and the idea that Obama has never heard of him or never read his book is asinine."

Your first post.Maher never said Obama has never heard of him and like you said, Maher never even mentioned Alinsky's book. So, if he never mentioned the book in New Rules, where are you getting this BS that Obama is some how denying he ever A)heard of Alinsky and B) read his book?

Funny how, according to you, I am stupid as sh*t yet you keep going on and on and on and on and on. Why would someone so smart like you engage in a dialogue with 'my kind'? Its like you have this man crush on me. (I'm flattered,but dude you are way too dumb for me)

Oh, and where did I call you a homophobe? I never called you that. Hilarious how I am answering your questions but you CAN NOT answer the ones I have been asking you.

WOW! A Real Troll Talking About #@&* He knows NOTHING Abo

"Maher never said Obama has never heard of him"

Direct quote from the video YOU linked at the top of this thread:
MAHER: "Why would you invite my outrage by suggesting such a specious link between OUR PRESIDENT and Saul Alinsky? I tried skipping to the part where he (Alinksy) and Obama became BFFs, but that never happened since Alinsky died when he (Obama) was ten. "

Again, you need to have a comprehension level above third grade in able to INFER, but what Maher is inferring here is that there is no link between former COMMUNITY ORGANIZER Barack Obama and the KING OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS Saul Alinsky. This is the "idea" that Maher is inferring in his rant. There is a great deal of evidence supporting Obama's link to Alinsky, yet Maher is underplaying it, making it sound ridiculous. And his seal-clapping audience eat it up.

"Mikey, you LIED about Obama saying he had never heard of Alinsky."

You STILL have not shown me where I said OBAMA SAID HE had never heard of Alinsky. In the quote you used I was saying that BILL MAHER said Obama had never heard of Alinsky. I know it is hard for you to follow things that involve more than one step, but TRY to keep up!!

"Oh, and where did I call you a homophobe? I never called you that."

Holy crap. This is another example of your poor reading comprehension skills. I did not say you called me a homophobe. I am calling YOU a homophobe!! I am asking YOU why you hate gay people.

In all seriousness though, about how old are you? (You don't need to give your actual age, just a ball park, like "In my 20s".) From your posts I would assume that you are about 13 or 14 years old. Is this true? Cuz it SURE would explain a lot!

"Why would someone so smart like you engage in a dialogue with 'my kind'? "

LMFAO!! Believe me, I've asked myself that question.
#58

WOW! A Real Troll Talking About #@&* He knows NOTHING Abo

To be fair, Mikey, there's a big difference between Maher saying that Alinsky and Obama aren't "BFFs" because Alinsky died when Obama was ten and that Obama has never heard of Alinsky.

You can say that Maher was implying that, but it's just as true that you were inferring it.

But I still don't see the problem with having read Alinsky. As I've pointed out, activists on both ends of the political spectrum have made use of his ideas.
#59

WOW! A Real Troll Talking About #@&* He knows NOTHING Abo

Um Mikey, that is not the same thing. Maher never said there is no link between Alinsky and Obama. So, even though you admit Maher never said it you seem to think because you are so smart that Maher thought it or was inferring it? LOL! No way. You are mixing in your own opinion into what Maher actually said.

So, you are now angry with Maher's audience as well. Oh right. He relies on an ignorant uninformed audience. Yeah, you keep repeating that. Unlike you and FOx News viewers who are fair and balanced and actually know what the fu&k you are talking about.

Mikey, you lied. Maher never said it. Video speaks for itself. You are playing this game now where you are saying, "Well he did not say it but clearly he meant it. Obviously he was inferring it." No. Thats what most people call LYING! Never happened. You are proving Bill's point. You are making up this shi# based on a fictional person. You've created this fictional President Obama and you can't prove a damn word you say and it pisses you off that I am calling you out on it and you just can't get away with it.

LOL! Oh, I am the one who is anti gay? I see. Have you read any posts of mine besides this one? Ask anyone here.90 percent of my posts are about homophobes and gay rights. Once again, you are wrong. Oh, I am gay by the way Sherlock! Anyone who says I am gay, clearly is not only misinformed but they are a moron.So, Mikey thinks I am anti gay. Yeah, you have a ton of credibility around here.(LOL!)

Well, if you want to play guessing games I am guessing you are 42 years old.

You still have not answered the other questions I asked. Wonder why.

Mikey,why is it okay for Dick Armey to read Saul Alinsky? Why are you not giving the Tea Party nuts jobs a hard time about them reading Alinsky? Do you attack only liberals who quote,read,or follow Saul Alinsky or do you you also attack the Idiotic Tea Party Terrorist and Christan nut jobs and Republicans who read his book as well. Sounds like you pick and chose who you attack. First, you have to know what political party they are in, then you make your "fair and balanced" decision. Oh, and why is his book such a big deal? Hate much?

WOW! A Real Troll Talking About #@&* He knows NOTHING Abo

Mikey, you say you disagree with Newt Gingrich and Glen Beck yet all three of you have Saul Alinsky in common. As a matter of fact, the video I posted of Glen Beck is almost word for word what you said about him in your first post. I think you are probably a conservative man with strong religious values. I think you HATE Bill Maher because he is an atheist and has been known to mock people of faith and this offends you deeply. You also hate the liberals and what they stand for. Even though you won't admit it, I bet you agree with Newt and Glen Beck more than you are man enough to admit. I think this explains your rage towards Maher and Alinsky.

My question, and I am not gonna stop asking you this, is why Alinsky, who is dead,is more of a threat than some of the right wing nut jobs out there today. Bryan Fisher.Tony Perkins, Maggie Gallagher, Pat Robertson and so on. All these nut jobs use God to preach hate. They know nothing of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Instead, they cause pain and do serious damage to those they are suppose to be tolerant of and show compassion to. These monsters are evil. They are fake. They are preaching hate in the name of God. Why aren't you as angry about them as you are Alinsky? Did he tell someone that they deserve AIDS? Did Saul Alinsky deny rights to any minority or group? We have gay teens killing themselves and these so called 'men of God' mock them or say they deserve it or say something hateful and hurtful. This causes even more pain to the victims families but these Evil Christians who pass judgment on others just mock them and don't care. These con men are so foolish they actually think God is on their side.

Mikey, why are you so silent when I mention these hatemongers who pose as "men of God" yet you are so vocal and angry about a man who's only crime is that you and the right wing hate what he stood for? These so called Christians are evil trolls. They are not servants of God and anyone who defends them are no better than they are.

So, here you are. The guy who keeps reminding us here on BWW how smart he is. Disagree with Mikey and you are a moron. Mikey is so smart. He can wipe the floor with anyone who disagrees with him. However, you are to big of a pu$$y to answer a simple question. You are not the first right winger to come troll the boards,been asked a simple question, then run away like a coward and ignore the question. Your silence speaks for itself. We all know who and what you are.You have sworn you are calm and not angry while talking at great lengths about how you HATE Bill Maher and Saul Alisnky. You have reminded us that you know more about Alinsky than Maher does and that if anyone who listens to Maher is a moron.

You've shown your true colors. You are a liar and a fool.Saul Alinsky is a FU#@*NG Saint compared to these thugs!

"To be fair, Mikey, there's a big difference between Maher saying that Alinsky and Obama aren't "BFFs" because Alinsky died when Obama was ten and that Obama has never heard of Alinsky.
You can say that Maher was implying that, but it's just as true that you were inferring it."

Yes, I am inferring that. If you watch the video, the "main idea" of Maher's rant is basically, "Who the F&CK is Saul Alinsky?". He acts as if Alinsky is some obscure character that no one has ever heard of. Yet, this is not true. As I have pointed out before, his book RULES FOR RADICALS has never been out of print in over 40 years, there are over 150 reviews of it on Amazon and it is, if I remember correctly, ranked somewhere around number 52 or 62 on the Amazon list of "bestsellers". There are also numerous "affiliations" between Obama and Alinsky. So, I think it is reasonable to "infer" (and some may disagree) that Maher is trying to minimize Alinsky in this video clip. Are you saying you disagree? You do NOT thing Maher is trying to minimize him? How do you reach this conclusion? I pulled two references from the clip wherein Maher tried to diminish Alinsky's influence on Obama; he suggested outrage at the "specious" (misleading, deceptive, fallacious) link between the two, and the "BFF" comment. Are you suggesting that Maher is NOT inferring there is no connection between the two?

"But I still don't see the problem with having read Alinsky. As I've pointed out, activists on both ends of the political spectrum have made use of his ideas."

I have no problem whatsoever with people reading Alinsky. I have read him myself, though it was a long time ago and I did not find it very interesting. I agree with you that activists on both ends of the political spectrum have made use of his ideas. In fact, that is precisely my point. Many people who are politically astute and well read have at least HEARD of Alinsky, so why is Maher acting as if the guy is some obscure nobody? And, did Maher REALLY fill people in on who Alinsky was?
THAT was my point.
#63

WOW! A Real Troll Talking About #@&* He knows NOTHING Abo

You keep asking people on this board what Maher meant, why he said what he said and didn't say things you think he should have said.

None of us can answer that. And none of us seem to be as invested in Maher as you are. All I can suggest at this point is that you write and ask him.

But as legitimate a question, to my mind, is why Newt Gingrich is at such pains to connect Alinsky and Obama. But I can't answer that either. It seems a straw man.

Mikey is OBSESSED WITH MAHER/ALINSKY! GET SOME HELP!

Saul Alinsky is not a common everyday name we all have heard of. AM Hate radio has talked about him for years, but a lot of people have never heard of him.

You failed at trying to diminish Obama and Alinsky. You speculated. Nothing more. Show me a picture of Obama reading RULES FOR RADICALS. You seem to think you can read Bill Maher's mind. You are inferring, guessing, or in other words, LYING.

Mikey wrote this:

"I have no problem whatsoever with people reading Alinsky. I have read him myself, though it was a long time ago and I did not find it very interesting."

You are joking, right? You have no problem with people reading Alisky? LOL! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Its not Bill Maher's job to fill them in. He is there to entertain, and he did! Get over your hatred and obsession with all things Bill Maher and Saul Alinsky!

Still not man enough to answer the questions about these nut job Christians. You HATE Alinsky but have no opinions on these others who are far worse.

Um Mikey, that is not the same thing. Maher never said there is no link between Alinsky and Obama."

Yeah, he did. "Specious link" --maybe you need to look up the word "specious" (for that matter, maybe you should look up the word "link" as well).

"it pisses you off that I am calling you out on it"

PLEASE trust me, you are not pissing me off and you are not calling me out on anything. I don't consider myself a genius by any stretch, but GOOD GOD, for YOU to "call me out" on anything......I don't even know how to finish that sentence, the premise is so asinine.

"LOL! Oh, I am the one who is anti gay? "

Yes. From your posts in this thread, I believe you are indeed anti-gay and a homophobe.

"Oh, I am gay by the way Sherlock! Anyone who says I am gay, clearly is not only misinformed but they are a moron."

You do realize that, in the above quote from your post, you just called yourself a moron???

"Mikey, you say you disagree with Newt Gingrich and Glen Beck yet all three of you have Saul Alinsky in common."

When did I say I disagree with Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck?? Jesus, participating in a thread with you is like riding in car driven by an 8 year old with ADHD who hasn't been medicated in weeks. How the HELL do you come to these conclusions you keep making???

"I think you HATE Bill Maher"

I don't HATE Bill Maher. I don't think he is very smart and I think his audience is stupider than he is. But I don't HATE stupid people; I feel sorry for them. And right now my pity for you is overwhelming.
I also don't HATE people I disagree with. In fact, there are very few people I really HATE. I HATE people who are evil and who harm people. Not people who are ignorant or who I disagree with. Sorry to disappoint you.

"My question, and I am not gonna stop asking you this, is why Alinsky, who is dead,is more of a threat than some of the right wing nut jobs out there today."

Who the hell said that he was?? Again, I honestly don't understand where you keep coming up with these conclusions of yours. They truly make you sound delusional.

"Disagree with Mikey and you are a moron."

No. I do not think people who disagree with me are morons. Particularly people who are able to articulate and support their beliefs using logical thought; something which you are CLEARLY incapable of. MORONS are MORONS. Adult men who do not know the difference between a FACT and an OPINION are morons. Which is why I am hoping you are just some kid who hasn't mastered that skill yet.

"You have sworn you are calm and not angry while talking at great lengths about how you HATE Bill Maher and Saul Alisnky."

Again, what the HELL are you talking about. I do not HATE Bill Maher and I don't HATE Saul Alinsky, nor have I ever SAID that I hated them. You are really spiraling out of control here. I seriously don't think you are in full control of all of your faculties. I almost feel bad responding to your posts.
Seriously! Get a grip on yourself and reel yourself in. You are LOSING IT, man!!

Mikey is OBSESSED WITH MAHER/ALINSKY! GET SOME HELP!

Not pissing you off? You called me a stupid shi# and here you are, many many posts later still rambling on in this obsession of yours of Saul Alinsky and you haven't even answered the questions I have asked you.

Say what you will, but you are not fooling anyone. You are pissed off. WHy else would you keep going and going? Me? Well, I'm the dumb one. Whats your excuse? LOL! Reason you keep coming back is because you know you are full of it and it drives you crazy. You lied. I called you out on it. You tried not answering the question. You ignored it several times. I pressed. You then came back with this BS excuse that Bill Maher was 'inferring' something. You see,you LIED and said he said something. Then you back peddled and said he inferred it. You keep doing it.

I'd ask you to explain how I, a gay man who is a strong advocate for gay rights and has zero tolerance for any kind of homophobia is anti gay. However, you have been lying non stop and posters here who know me know that what you are accusing me of is a lie. Seriously, did you pull this wild tale out of your a$$?

Yeah, I called myself a moron. I also called myself a Stupid shi#, as you called me. Am I really? Hell no, but you have called yourself well informed and educated. Clearly, you think mighty high of yourself.

In the Mitt Romey thread, I was under the impression you were not a fan of Newt Gingrich.

Mikey said this:

"I think if Gingrich were President (God forbid) he would want to be the "Paycheck President".
Nothing wrong with that."

https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?page=6&thread=1041323&boardname=off&boardid=2

God forbid? AM I wrong here? Do you like Newt or not? (not that I expect you to have the balls to actually answer a question, just thought I would ask)

Then I said this:

"My guess is Mikey is a Glen Beck fan"

Mikey replied:

"You'd be dead wrong there. Never watched his show."

https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?page=2&thread=1041471&boardname=off&boardid=2

Mikey, this is like the third time you have said something, denied saying it, and I have posted your exact quotes. Most liars have trouble keeping up with all their lies, but I have provided your exact quotes and links where you said it. That is a hell of a lot more than you have backed up. Either start keep track of the shi* you say or don't deny saying them!

I say the same about you. How t $#@! do you come up with this fantasy world of crap you spew? I actually think you were surprised someone challenged you on your first post. It appears as if you were insulted that people would just not take your opinion as a fact.

You hate Saul Alinsky.Why lie about it? You are obsessed. You went of because Bill Maher did not mention a radical book he wrote. You want anyone who mentions the name Saul Alinsky to mention the boo, the title, and give a mini background biography on the man or don't mention his name at all. You actually got the balls to say with a straight face you don't hate this guy? OH PUH-LEASE! You forget saying things and need me to remind you when and where and what you said. Well, you seem to be forgetting about the things you say and the anger and venom you spew while mentioning Maher and Alinsky. You even resorted to insulting Bill's audience and anyone who likes Bill and his show.

Your first post says it all. You say one thing then back peddle. You can't even answer a question I ask you. You are a coward. Admit it.You spew insults when you don't get your way. Jordan was insulted.You took an attitude with Siny. You are a liar and a coward. You have zero credibility here. If you were not angry,you would not spend so much time on Maher and Alinsky. Obsessed and angry. This is why you refuse to let someone like me get the last word in.Say what you want, your actions say more than your asinine posts do.

You've been called out and you then attempt some slippery talk to BS your way out of it. I've already in this post had to link 2 quotes you claim you never said. Since you remain silent on these 'so called' Christians, I am assuming you admire and agree with them. Since you are not man enough to set the record straight, I'll have to do what you do. Pretend I know what you are thinking. You claim you are not angry but you have gone off on Alinsky while giving these other radicals a free pass. Oh, and forget about you dodging the question on why the Tea Party and Republicans who quote Alinsky are okay but not the liberals. You cherry pick your politics. If you really are a teacher, your students must be be morons.

You need to start taking your meds.

Mikey is OBSESSED WITH MAHER/ALINSKY! GET SOME HELP!

The problem is not ME dude, it's YOU.
You have no idea what it is that you are reading, your ability to comprehend what you are reading is non-existant! And you come to conclusions that are specious at best, and usually just completely false.
EXAMPLES: Me saying I don't watch Glem Beck's show does not mean I disagree with him. It means I don't watch his show. I don't watch SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE either, but it doesn't mean I hate the people involved with it or that I disagree with the people on it or ANYTHING. It means I DON'T WATCH IT!
You said I disagree with Newt Gingrich. Actually, there are a lot of positions that Newt holds that I agree with him. However, I think he is pompous and I think he'd make a horrible president. Do you see how you come to these conclusions that are completely without merit? Perhaps if you became more aware of your bad habits you could FIX them!

"I'd ask you to explain how I, a gay man who is a strong advocate for gay rights and has zero tolerance for any kind of homophobia is anti gay."

In many of your posts you reference my name "Mikey", followed by something like "Who is NOT gay (wink, wink)" , as if somehow, my being gay would be something for me to be ashamed of or embarrassed about; as if there is something WRONG with being gay. I grew up in the theater. I have been performing since I was seven years old. I have known and know TONS of gay people. I don't think being gay is anything to be ashamed of or to be embarrassed by. Yet your posts seem to indicate the opposite. The sad thing is, you are so completely clueless, you have absolutely no idea how you appear in your posts. Those comments could easily be interpreted as anti-gay. You really are out of your league here.
Like I said before, I almost feel guilty responding to your posts.

"You say one thing then back peddle."

Pedal.

"Well, I'm the dumb one."

That is the truest statement you have posted in this entire thread.

Mikey is OBSESSED WITH MAHER/ALINSKY! GET SOME HELP!

Mikey, you denied saying you said any of those things. I even asked when you said Newt as President (God Forbid)if I was wrong in assuming you liked him. Frankly, I am amazed you answered the question. You keep ignoring the others.Me calling you NOT GAY was your knee jerk explanation to make sure I understood YOU WERE NOT GAY. You even had to throw in the old, "I'm divorced, have two teenage kids,and so on". A simple, "I'm not gay" is all you had to say. You came off as sounding nervous and insecure. I never called you a homophobe. You LIED and said I did. You have lied in every post of yours, why stop now?

I assume you agree with Pat Robertson,Tony Perkins, Bryan Fisher, and all the other pretend Christians.You have not corrected me,and lets face it. You seem to get a hard on for correcting people,even when they are not wrong.You are too big of a coward to answer the question and clear things up, so if anyone here is anti gay I would guess it is you.You said you agree with some of the things Newt says. Do you agree with him on marriage equality? Don't worry, only a real man would have the balls to answer that question. You have run away from questions in this post from the start.

None of what you said makes sense. Why keep responding to me? WHy do you care? I think you know you are full of it and it makes you angry to think I am calling you out. You ego and arrogance won't allow you to stop.

You also won't answer why the Tea Party is allowed to use Alinsky but when Bill Maher makes a joke, you go off on an angry rant and become obsessed with him like a rejected girl friend. You have no answer for it. If you did you would have given one by now.

You are an unfair troll. Highlighting flaws with liberals (Bill Maher) while giving the Tea Party, a group you admire, a free pass.

Great article showing how hypocritical people, like the Tea Party and Mikey are.

Mikey,you can BS your way through a post all you want. You have kept this thread alive because of your anger and arrogance and your God size ego. You are a lot like Newt,so why you don't like him ore is a mystery to me.You lie and you run away from questions you can't answer.

Me: the right's attempt to link Obama to Saul Alinsky is yet another part of their smear campaign, full of lies, distortion, paranoia and open bigotry. And that, dear Mikey, is a fact !"

Mikey: Wow. Our public schools are really failing their students! Another person who can't tell the difference between a FACT and an OPINION.
----------------------------------------------------------------

In that case, dear Mikey, could you please explain to me why you and your ilk keep linking Obama to the guy who died when Obama was 10 years old ? That claim alone is an example of the smear campaign that the right has been conducting against Obama for the last 4 years. Care to defend it ?

Sure.

*In the 1980s The Gamaliel Foundation recruited, hired, trained and paid Barack Obama as a community organizer in South Side Chicago. The name “Gamaliel” refers to the Biblical wise man who was a teacher to St. Paul, whom Saul Alinsky considered to be the first great congregation-based organizer. Gamaliel Foundation works in the community organizing tradition of Alinsky.

*In 1988, Obama wrote a chapter for the book “After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois".

*Obama took a break from his Harvard studies to travel to Los Angeles for eight days of intense training at Industrial Areas Foundation, a national community organizing network established in 1940 by Saul Alinsky.

*After his 8 day workshop, Obama himself became a trainer for the IAF.

*Obama also taught Alinsky’s “Power Analysis” methods at the University of Chicago.

*After the election, his other Gamaliel mentor, Jerry Kellman (who hired him and whose identity Obama disguised in his memoir), helped the Obama administration establish Organizing for America, which mobilizes young supporters to agitate for Obama’s legislative agenda using tactics outlined in Alinsky's “Rules for Radicals.”

And don't forget:

Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, wrote her thesis paper on Saul Alinsky, titled There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.

Ironically, the community activist organization ACORN, which practiced the Alinsky method, was brought down by Andrew Breitbart using the Alinsky method.

Hope that helps.

He is a proven liar and everyone here see's him for what he really is. Look how desperate he is. He thinks I am an idiot (pot meet kettle) yet he still defends himself against me. LOL! WHat a MORON!

Mikey, what exactly do you teach? Fingerpainting?

But Obama is as cool as Alinsky was hot, as conservative in his tactics as Alinsky was outrageous.

And again in last night’s State of the Union, Obama followed none of Alinsky’s “ Rules for Radicals .”

That 1971 book, written shortly before Alinsky’s death, begins “What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.”

The president has indeed drawn attention to the Have-Nots. And Michelle Obama, in her remarks at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, did refer to Alinsky when she said her husband had won her heart by speaking of turning the world as it is into the world as it should be.

Yet Alinsky’s blueprint for revolution is the opposite of Obama’s ultra-traditional path to power — via Harvard and elected office.

Newt Gingrich has been reviving an old attack line that was already discredited back in the 2008 campaign. The former Speaker of the House is reaching to find a link between President Obama and Saul Alinsky, a controversial organizer and writer. Gingrich brought it up again at a recent GOP debate in South Carolina, calling the President “a Saul Alinsky radical.”

Maybe Gingrich wasn’t listening four years ago when the allegation’s dishonesty was revealed. The President was only 10 years old when Alinsky died, and Gerald Kellman, the man who hired him in Chicago, has repeatedly made it clear that the President disagreed with Alinsky’s organizing tactics:

In The New York Times: “Mr. Obama shunned Mr. Alinsky's strategy of using confrontation tactics like pressuring public officials and business leaders by picketing their homes. 'I think it was strategic that he would not have fallouts with people he disagreed with because he realized that he had to work with them not just on one particular issue, but on other issues down the road,’ Mr. Kellman said.”

In The Associated Press: “But even though Obama worked with people trained by Saul Alinsky, the father of community organizing, he didn't adopt hard-nose tactics. ‘He did not like personal confrontation,’ Kellman says. ‘He had no trouble challenging power and challenging people on issues. When it came to face-to-face situations, he valued civility a great deal ... When it came to negotiating conflict, he was very good at that.’”

In “The Bridge”: “Obama had read Saul Alinsky, but he did not adopt his confrontational style. He was methodical about his interviews and compiling his reports; polite, even charming, with his contacts; but reluctant to mix it up. Kellman’s steely approach to organizing was not Obama’s.” Kellman himself said, “Every time he had to gather people and bring them to someone’s office, he worried: Am I being too confrontational? He didn’t want to betray a relationship. That’s why he wasn’t Alinsky-like.”

As a young man, President Obama shunned Saul Alinsky’s controversial and confrontational methods—telling The New Republic he often found them “unsettling, even cruel.” Newt Gingrich hopes he can appeal to the far-right Republican fringe by rehashing character attacks that Sarah Palin tried unsuccessfully to use in the last election. It wasn’t true then—and it’s not true now.

Mikey: "Ironically, the community activist organization ACORN, which practiced the Alinsky method, was brought down by Andrew Breitbart using the Alinsky method."

So, does that make Breitbart a COMMUNIST ??? OMG, you have a commie/socialist/marxist in your ranks !

I assume that you and your ilk know that Obama had spent all of 3 years in his mid-20's as a community organizer and yet you keep harping on it as though he has done nothing else in his life after that. So, let me rephrase my question: why do you keep linking Obama to Saul Alinsky even though it's been a good 27 years since Obama (allegedly) used his methods of community organizing (same ones used by Breitbart and other right-wingers)? Do you think that Obama is channelling Saul Alinsky the way Newt thinks he is channelling his Kenyan father ? Do you think that Obama gets his marching orders from the Saul Alinsky's ghost ? What is it about that link that is supposed to make a right-winger clutch his pearls and faint at the sheer horror of it all ? Can you tell us ?
