Stop it, Rush!

Have you been hearing Rush Limbaugh, the foremost practitioner in today's world of Saul Alinsky's tactics, badmouth Alinsky day after day? You can tell Rush has read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, because he quotes from it almost daily. Today he quoted from Alinsky's "rule" that a good organizer always uses words and phrases that are within the experience of those whom he is trying to organize. He says that is what the Obamaites are trying to do, but then, once they get us to swallow the healthcare bill, the Obamaites will sock it to us big time.

Alinsky never talked or wrote about organizing people and then socking it to them. If he organized people, it was to enable them to gain a measure of power, individually and politically. Please don't blame Alinsky, Rush, for what these schemers are trying to do to us.
