I'd like to know how these letters were obtained.

She will be much more effective than Obama at implementing the left's agenda. She isn't lazy like Obama and she is a true believer. She would have been a great Soviet Premier.

Alinsky once boasted, "I feel confident that I could persuade a millionaire on a Friday to subsidize a revolution for Saturday out of which he would make a huge profit on Sunday even though he was certain to be executed on Monday."


How apropo. Makes me think of all the rich elite that support these scumbags.

She idolized the guy so far as their correspondence. He was a radical and he indoctrinated her.

Do you know how ridiculous this thread is?

Imagine if you were running for office and someone dug up a book report you wrote in college in which you used a communist scholar as a reference.

Then, 40 years later, political opponents were calling you a commie.

Hitlery Clinton is a center right pro-business crook. She is not a radical leftist. If she was, she would never be the odds on favorite to win a national election. The people who really rule this country would never allow it.

The letters obtained by the Fee Beacon are part of the archives for the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training center for community organizers founded by Alinsky, which are housed at the University of Texas at Austin.


It's in the OP link.

Interesting how many people are tied to the Industrial Areas Foundation. What an innocent, unassuming sounding name.

A thesis is a bit more than a book report, and that is a fraction of what these letters reveal.

Should have stopped reading right there.

I believe the "radical left" agenda is all about creating a mass of serfs who serve a self-appointed elite class, very similar to China. We'll all be good little communists, but they won't. Equality and "social justice" is just the sales pitch.

If what you say is true
Obama wouldn't have ever been elected
Would he?

Most really progressive people see Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as moderate to right wing.

You have to remember that the political spectrum doesn't just exist in the US. It's a global concept, and the US is one of the more, if not the most, conservative country on earth.

Tack on this that she would get at least a couple of SCOTUS picks and we would lose the chance to dump Obamacare ... what has she actually accomplished by the way (except for being married to slick Willie?)

Yeah, substance doesn't matter anymore, especially when the radicalized media is ignoring all of one candidate's flaws while hyper-inflating the flaws of the other candidate, one they had a big hand in choosing.

I'm just glad I'm finally vindicated after years of telling people that she was Alinsky's protege.

Obama is also a center right pro-business crook.

I don't know where you guys get that the Clintons and Obama are leftists.

I am a leftist, and I see nothing they've done that I would consider left-leaning in the slightest.

So you're saying two letters written 40 years ago and what may or may not have been her political beliefs are still relevant today?

You do know Ronald Reagan was a Roosevelt Democrat and Bill Cassidy was a Dukakis/tsongas a democrat.

Most people are more liberal in their early years. Why is it when a Democrat is more liberal, his stripes never change but when a Republican was more liberal, no problem.

And as for this Alinsky meme repeated often here and in the echo chamber, politics of personal destruction knows no party. All are equal of using Alinsky tactics.

LOL that "Saul Alinksy" is still a talking point.

Keep dredging up this old shite that didn't work 7 years ago. If the "Saul Alinsky" nonsense didn't work against A BLACK MAN NAMED BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WITH UNCLEAR RELIGIOUS AND PERSONAL BACKGROUND ISSUES, I'm pretty fricking sure it's not going to work against Hillary Clinton, a liberal white elitist who has increased her personal net worth astronomically through vulture capitalism, aggressive/shady real estate deals, and Wall Street pandering, who has already lived in the Arkansas Governors mansion for like 6 years, the fricking WHITE HOUSE for 8 years, the US Senate for like 6 years, and was the mother fricking Secretary of State for 4 years.

Seriously? SAUL fricking Alinksky? Seriously? Attack her on her idiotic support of the Iraq war, her dud of a personality, her hypocrisy and potential sham of a marriage while her husband is banging Canadian socialites on the reg.

Why would you try to tie her to Saul Alinsky though - NOBODY CARES.
