Ayers and Alinsky, Theory and Practice
Obama has dumped his pastor, dissed his grandmother, ignored the material want of his extended family, and his wife has trashed her country. But the Obama’s have not dumped William Ayers, the Weather Underground terrorist, nor have they given up the tactics of Saul Alinsky, the original Community Organizer.
Ayers long ago decided, after having narrowly avoided prison for terrorist bombings, that education is the new revolution. He is in famous company, given the number of dictators and revolutionaries who have focused on indoctrination of the youth as the easiest means of consolidating their future power.
As for Alinsky, Obama has clearly adopted his ground game tactics on the grand scale. It is now revealed that his primary wins over Hillary Clinton in caucus states were assisted, if not made possible, by bussed-in Chicago ACORN workers exploiting the weak residency & identification requirements of those states. The same manpower is being used in Ohio with the connivance of corrupt state officials.
As for the Fannie/Freddie disaster, again the policy of spreading the wealth (Ayers’ socialism/communism) was executed with the help of the (Alinsky approved) ACORN ground game, including the harassment of bankers at their homes.
Meantime, critics of Obama, such as Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber, are threatened by dirt diggers working for the candidate of light. Again the ground game, using large numbers of activists.
The consistency is striking: at the beginning of his career, Obama succeeded in removing his opponents in the State Senate race, including his erstwhile mentor, by invalidating the signatures on their applications of candidacy. Obama’s innovation is to always game the system, and do it better than anyone else ever has.
