    I forgot how obsessed they got about Saul Alinsky. If there were a college major called “Being a Leftist,” his Rules for Radicals would be on the syllabus for the class on pre-internet organizing. But I’m pretty sure Fox News hosts said “Alinsky” more times during the Obama administration than all the DSA members combined.

    It’s like if they were discussing Boston Celtics history and just kept mentioning Antoine Walker. (No disrespect to Toine. Or Alinsky.)

      Remember when they got pissed at that Reverend guy that Obama may have saw once or twice for saying that 9/11 was “chickens coming home to roost” (by the way, he was 100% correct of course)?

      Like, I wish Obama could have (publicly at least) stated that and still had a chance to win…
