When This Blows Over

Obama’s Republican legislative rivals at their homes.
Given the latest videos, it’s hard not to wonder how much
of this sort of thing is going on today, and perhaps with
some of the same players as in Obama’s Illinois years. If
the upshot of these new videos holds up to scrutiny, it
would show that Saul Alinsky is alive, well and living
inside the beating heart of the Democratic Party.
Obama inaugurated the era of Alinskyite hardball at the
presidential level, and Hillary’s campaign organization
would at least appear to be carrying on. If anything, our
community organizers have gotten bolder. Nor is the
media any more interested in scrutinizing the questionable
tactics of the Democrats’ Alinskyite strategists or ground
troops than it’s been for the past eight years. The deeper
problem is the ideology behind all of this, which goes far
beyond the few operatives featured in the videos.
Alinskyite leftists quite simply do not believe in liberal
democracy, which is why they’re so willing to violate its
norms.

How Progressives Can Win, a tactical handbook for the
left that he wrote while serving a prison term for tax
evasion and bank fraud.
