Holy crap! I just followed that link; I knew a bit about Alinsky, but never expected this;Originally posted by Bosh
Sheesh, I don't see what's very cult-like at all about Obama using pretty standard run of the mill community organizing tactics in electoral politics.
See:
Obama knows this stuff, he did it for years and it's his model for organizing his Presidential campaign. And it seems pretty clear that its working damn well so far...
So, basically, Hillary's run at the nomination has turned into a $100 million test of the hypothesis her senior thesis. If she loses, I sure hope she reams out her thesis advisor.Alinsky was the subject of Hillary Rodham's senior honors thesis at Wellesley College, "There Is Only The Fight...": An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.[8] Rodham commented on Alinsky's "charm," but rejected grassroots community organizing as outdated. Once Hillary Rodham Clinton became First Lady of the United States, the thesis was suppressed by the White House for fear of being associated too closely with Alinsky's ideas.[9]
Alinsky also had a significant influence on Barack Obama, who is a United States Senator and candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.[8] Obama particularly used Alinsky's techniques while participating in Chicago community organizations in the 1980s.

And who is helping to delivering them? Sounds a bit like that Jesus guy... helping the masses see the light and realize the change they can bring.Originally posted by Cyclotron
I didn't read it that way. Mass messianism would seem to be about the self-deliverance of the masses.
You realize that Gandhi may be the most clear cut cult of personality of any non-dictator... ever (ok, ok, that Jesus and Mohammed guy beat him).What? Why? It's just like Ghandi saying "be the change you wish to see in the world." It's a message of self-empowerment - don't wait for someone to help you, stand up and help yourselves. That doesn't seem scary to me at all.
It's self-empowerment... with a leader showing the way, which isn't very 'self', but whatever.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Out of curiosity if Clinton manages the hat trick of PN, OH, and TX as she's hoping for, does that seal the deal for her or would it still go to convention?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
