Michelle O's Alinksky Connection Is Through Barack
Riehl World View —
... Gateway Pundit points out that Michelle Obama quoted concepts from Rules for Radicals in her speech last night and suggests she heard it in church. Funny, but more likely, it was Obama that came up with it due to the individual who started him off in his activist pursuits. I came upon it the other day while researching something else. ...
Gallup & Rasmussen: McCain Up, Obama Down
Ace of Spades HQ —
... Ayers/Obama documents, at least the ones they haven't "lost" or "inadvertently destroyed." It's this kind of thing that really makes me wonder. If the American public has some knowledge of this, and some memory of the Wright fiasco, is it really just enough for Michelle Obama to say "I love this country," which every analyst predicted she'd do, because she needed to do so for political reasons? And Saul Alinksy Too: Obama went to work for an Alinksy protoge; Michelle Obama quoted Alinsky's Rules for Radicals in last night's speech. How dumb is the ...
Michelle Obama Used Lines From Saul Alinsky's Book, 'Rules for Radicals' In Last Night's Speech
Hyscience —
Last night Michelle Obama used lines from a radical Far Left book by Saul Alinsky ("father of community organizing" and a notorious far-left radical) in her DNC Convention speech.
Gateway Pundit nailed her: What to make of Michelle Obama's use the terms, "The world as it is" and "The world as it should be?" From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals.
Dan Reihl writes that although Gateway Pundit points out that ...

Well, it turns out -- great catch by my friend Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit -- that the "world as it is" & "world as it should be" construction comes straight from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." Tells you all you need to know, doesn't it? ...
Sherlock Hoft And The Adventure of the Egg-Splattered Face
Sadly, No! —
... Hoft, who probably hasn’t read a book not published by Regnery since he read the first four pages of Tom Sawyer in high school, has decided that he is a literary sleuth. So Jim recently performed a careful hermeneutic analysis of Michelle Obama’s DNC speech to determine if there were secret clues that would prove that Michelle is a fist-bumping, Allah-worshipping, lesbian-loving, socialist-leaning, terrorist-sympathizing radical anarchist. Not surprisingly, he found such evidence and then started jumping up and down, high-fiving himself in the mirror, and ...

JammieWearingFool caught Jimmy “Peanut Farmer” Carter calling Obama a “black boy”. If he weren’t the most-respected ‘Rat not named Obama or Clinton among ‘Rats, he’d be drummed up on racism charges.
Speaking of intimidation, Pajamas Media has the footage of the assault on Michelle Malkin and friends. I’m shocked, SHOCKED that the police didn’t step in.
Jim Hoft found Michelle Obama quoting from a primer for radicals the other ...
Michelle Obama Convention Speech Borrowed From Saul Alinsky
Moonbattery —
... who wrote this in his pernicious guide to replacing freedom with socialism, Rules for Radicals:
The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.
Or maybe Uhbama was borrowing again, like he did from fellow floundering post turtle Deval Patrick, and like his running mate is wont to do. It's also possible that as Gateway Pundit suggests, Michelle just happened to hear it in church: ...

... and one that needs to be rethought." Before he was done, Obama had rejected the guiding principles of community organizing: the elevation of self-interest over moral vision; the disdain for charismatic leaders and their movements; and the suspicion of politics itself. I've been thinking a lot about some of these issues. After Michelle Obama's speech where she said that, when she met him, Barack was talking about “The world as it should be,” not settling for “The world as it is.” Some have pointed to the source of these phrases: Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. But Alinsky ...

... . Coda:"This guy has a social justice agenda," Glenn Beck told Fox & Friends this morning: He is going to set all of the wrongs of the past right . I have a feeling that the paradigm is about to change. People who have been forced to live in a politically correct world … are just going to say "I'm not living in your politically correct world, and I don't care anymore." You've never seen the media really go after him. He's never really been cornered. How does he react? The people he surrounds himself with, have you heard them with new ears? When you put in ...
