In August, David Horowitz began NewsReal’s first series exploring Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. He explained how the modern Left had put Alinsky’s ideas into practice. Here’s the entire series for those who might not have been with us when it first ran:

Part 1: Alinsky, Beck, Satan, and Me

Part 2: Hell on Earth

Part 3: Boring From Within

Part 4: To Have and Have Not

Part 5: Postmodern Leftism

Part 6: Means and Ends

Part 7: Means and Ends, Continued

Part 8: The Nazi Option

Those who enjoy the series should make a donation to the Freedom Center and receive Horowitz’s new pamphlet expanding on Alinsky.

    In the first article it states: “This is why ACORN activists, for example, have such contempt for the election process, why they are so willing to commit election fraud.”

    Where have ACORN convicted of either election fraud or voter fraud? I think this a bogus issue. A few have turned in bogus registrations, but I have never heard that Mickey Mouse got to vote on election day. Have you? Or the Dallas Cowboys in New Mexico.

    Make this ACCESSIBLE, please! This series is undoubtedly the best and most perceptive primer I’ve found on what is at the heart of today’s issues. But just TRY getting through this series by following the links. You have to go back and forth and back again. Every link list is different. You have such ASTOUNDING content —- but you’ve got to make it much easier for people to get to. Thanks.

    I read a few blogs I’ve stumbled upon that David Axelrod is the great grandson of Trosky; anyone have any verification of that.

    This is a great series! However part 8 “The Nazi Option” seems to end abruptly without conclusion…is there some sort of summary that is missing?

    Its not everyday that you see a man with female breasts, a goats head, and chicken feet. I guess Satan spotting should be left to scientists known as Cryptozoologists, of course, I’m still waiting to see a Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster.

    How interesting that our current Great Horned Demon should be Saul Alinski. When in fact if you look at the operating principles he has laid down for community activism are manifested today in just one national group (I won't say organization because they have yet to become organized): the Tea Party.

    Is it really so bad that a group of people desirous of change should try to systematically find and wield the levers of power? Why does Horowitz demonize the method, when the exemplars of the art are on his own side of the fence?

    Isolate, polarize, ridicule….now come on….check any left web site versus any with a majority fom the tea party mold, and there's no argument about who's following allinsky rules. NO ONE has taken it on the chin like Sarah Palin — and it's not the right doing it.

    It's one thing to hate the tea party…tho' I don't know why — How are they personally bothering you? (Unless youve such a crush on BO that you can't stand to see his policies protested against) — but why shove off the Acorn and Organizing for America tactics off on the Tea Party? It doesn't work as a logical argument.

    “A few have turned in bogus registrations, but I have never heard that Mickey Mouse got to vote on election day. Have you? Or the Dallas Cowboys in New Mexico.”

    Try turning off the state controlled media and watching credible sources, if you dare.

    Thank you for your response Kacey, I appreciate it. However, in the documentation you provided, there no cases where votes have been tampered with (election fraud) or people have illegally voted (voter fraud). I note that WSJ opinion writer, John Fund, uses the term ‘Voter Fraud’ in the title of his opinion piece, but doesn’t offer up any examples of it. Bogus registration forms is neither voter nor election fraud.

    If voter or election fraud was so prevalent, it would not be hard to document, would it?

    I’ve added links at the bottom of each part so it should flow better. Thanks for letting me know.

    That is correct. If you have a better pic of Satan in particular to suggest I’m open to changing it.

  16. October 30, 2009

    all depends on which portrayal one would prefer, there is the common image that people associate with satan, red with horns etc, and IMO satan from the movie legend is very fitting http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f226/photoprint/darkness.jpg or http://media.photobucket.com/image/legend%20movie/smstevenms/Forum%20Uploads/legend.jpg or if you would want to go with satan as lucifer this would be fitting http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Lucifer_Liege_Luc_Viatour.jpg
    but the image of baphomet people also tend to accociate with satan, but I’m just nitpicking all in all :)

    No Axelrod is NOT Trotsky’s great grandson. This is a lie being spread by anti-Semites based on this 1990 NYT article about ANOTHER person named David Axelrod:

    http://www.nytimes.com/1990/11/10/world/mideast-tensions-israeli-police-move-to-pre-empt-strife-on-both-sides.html

    Rundown on the Israeli Axelrod who is NOT Obama’s advisor:

    Now for the reality….Here is a great mind-blowing look at the leftist affiliations of Obama Advisor Axelrod’s REAL ancestors:

    It never ceases to amaze me how worthless conspiracy theories abound when the truth is so damning. But then, if one wanted to obscure the truth, obvioulsy one would then promulgate as many conspiracy theories as possible in order to form a smokescreen. The best example of this is “birtherism.”

    Here! Here!

    The Birther question that they think is so brilliant: “Well, if he’s got nothing to hide then why doesn’t he just release his birth certificate and end all this?”

    Simple answer: “Because it benefits him for you to be wasting your time and making the Right look stupid and crazy. Why would he want you to stop?”
