defrogSeeing as how Newt Gingrich has taken to name-dropping Saul Alinsky as another of many, many reasons why Presidente Obama is a dangerous man who will destroy America, it’s probably worth mentioning just who Alinsky is.
NPR has what you need here (cheers to isis_lives for the link).
I’ll leave it to you to decide if the Obama/Alinsky connection means anything (though really, it’s about as significant a connection as Mitt Romney reading Atlas Shrugged in college – and I’m not saying he did, I’m just saying if he did, I personally wouldn’t be reading all that much into it).
If yr a Republican, of course, odds are it makes no difference at all who Alinksy is, so long as it means something else negative you can say about Obama.
For the rest of you, at least you can have fun at yr next cocktail party when someone throws in a Newt-style Alinsky reference – and how often Newt tends to use many of the tactics Alinsky came up with. Even Rudy Giuliani says so.
Everybody get together,
This is dF
