Sorry, but I’m sure you get it

So what ?

Money is no comparison to an ideology handed down from generations thats

George Washington is dead too
Koch brothers are not an idealogy

Bottom line is this.
You have to be the worlds dumbest liberal if you never heard of Alinsky until you heard republicans mentioned him.
over the years has raked up more money than the Koch brothers ever .
In the 60s he was practically God to any far left loon and is still one the lefts major forces.

And no, the Koch brothers did not organize/founded The Tea Party and their contributions are nothing compared to Soros

Except the Koch brothers are alive, they actually DO spend millions of dollars on conservative groups, and are influential widely in right wing culture.

Alinsky is dead for decades, largely unknown to liberals, and from what I understand would have opposed the tactics adopted by the Occupy movement as being pointless and ineffective but would have approved of those used by the Tea Party (the tactics, not the agenda) as being much more organized, disciplined, and intertwined with the established power centers to affect change.

If anyone is using Alinksy tactics, it seems, it’s the tea party.

The fact that Obama cited him is like, yeah- I’m sure he has a lot of quotes from people. And if he’s influenced by this guy’s theories on community organizing, great. But he sure hasn’t left any kind of major imprint on the left overall. However, I’m sure Glenn Beck has focused a lot of attention on bringing his ideas back. Cuz everyone’s like “who? I should check this guy out.” So maybe it will be a self-fulfilling conspiracy theory.

Blow it out your ass !
Do you even know what the fck you’re talking about ?

“Rules for Radicals” Read it !

” Alinsky’s tactics were based, not on Stalin’s revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci’s transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.”

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:

“Known as the ‘father of modern American radicalism,’ Saul D. Alinsky (1909-1972) developed strategies and tactics that take the enormous, unfocused emotional energy of grassroots groups and transform it into effective anti-government and anti-corporate activism. … Some of these rules are ruthless, but they work.”

“Alinsky’s second chapter, called Of Means and Ends, craftily poses many difficult moral dilemmas, and his ‘tenth rule of the ethics of means and ends’ is: ‘you do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral arguments.’ He doesn’t ignore traditional moral standards or dismiss them as unnecessary. He is much more devious; he teaches his followers that ‘Moral rationalization is indispensable at all times of action whether to justify the selection or the use of ends or means.’…
“The qualities Alinsky looked for in a good organizer were:
ego (“reaching for the highest level for which man can reach — to create, to be a ‘great creator,’ to play God”),
curiosity (raising “questions that agitate, that break through the accepted pattern”),
irreverence (“nothing is sacred”; the organizer “detests dogma, defies any finite definition of morality”),
imagination (“the fuel for the force that keeps an organizer organizing”),
a sense of humor (“the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule”), and an
organized personality with confidence in presenting the right reason for his actions only “as a moral rationalization after the right end has been achieved.’…
“‘The organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems,’ and ‘organizations must be based on many issues.’ The organizer ‘must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.’”
