The Hill Street Blahg

It’s no small wonder the  easily offended Obama camp took offense to Sarah Palin’s mockery of Barack Obama’s experience as a Community Organizer during her recent convention speech. I thought it was a fair swipe at Obama’s claim this experience gave him the necessary credentials to become the next President of the United States. However, the Obama camp apparently didn’t see it that way at all. They knew where Sarah Palin was going with her remark and it struck a nerve deep in their liberal bleeding hearts.

Community Organizers aren’t what the left would have us think they are. Community Organizers are  the platoon leaders for the late American Communist Saul Alinsky’s revolutionary guard. Liberals worship Saul Alinsky and consider him to be the father of their veiled agenda of a collective society. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are admirers and published students of Comrade Alinsky’s creed and each of their political convictions wreak of his offensive scent. According to noted author Melanie Phillips, Barack Obama was nothing more than one of Saul Alinsky’s field commanders in Chicago.

The Obamunists apparently received a 3:00AM phone call informing them that Melanie Phillips would soon be publishing her expose titled Revolution You Can Believe In explaining just what a Community Organizer really is and where that irritating Obama slogan “change” came from. They were prepared and more than willing to attack Sarah Palin because of her acerbic, yet enchanting remark. Here’s an excerpt form Melanie Phillips very informative article.

In her game-changing convention speech, Sarah Palin took a swipe at Obama for having been nothing more in his life than a ‘community organiser’.

This prompted the Obama campaign to issue a pained defence of community organisation as a way of promoting social change ‘from the bottom up’. The impression is that community organising is a worthy if woolly and ultimately ineffectual grassroots activity. This is to miss something of the greatest importance: that in the world of Barack Obama, community organisers are a key strategy in a different game altogether; and the name of that game is revolutionary Marxism.

The seditious role of the community organiser was developed by an extreme left intellectual called Saul Alinsky. He was a radical Chicago activist who, by the time he died in 1972, had had a profound influence on the highest levels of the Democratic party. Alinsky was a ‘transformational Marxist’ in the mould of Antonio Gramsci, who promoted the strategy of a ‘long march through the institutions’ by capturing the culture and turning it inside out as the most effective means of overturning western society. In similar vein, Alinsky condemned the New Left for alienating the general public by its demonstrations and outlandish appearance. The revolution had to be carried out through stealth and deception. Its proponents had to cultivate an image of centrism and pragmatism. A master of infiltration, Alinsky wooed Chicago mobsters and Wall Street financiers alike. And successive Democratic politicians fell under his spell.

His creed was set out in his book ‘Rules for Radicals’ – a book he dedicated to Lucifer, whom he called the ‘first radical’. It was Alinsky for whom ‘change’ was his mantra. And by ‘change’, he meant a Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means which turned society inside out. This had to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it. And the way to do this, he said, was through ‘people’s organisati

ons’.
