Community Organising, Alinsky, Barack Obama, and Lucifer

[MRT144]

You see nothing at all wrong with those "rules"? Nor with the fact that a man who claims to have cut his teeth feeding on resentment and hate (without accomplishing anything to show for it, mind you), and dangling hope as a carrot to manipulate people, is the President of your state?

(These are not rhetorical questions, by the way; I am genuinely curious in a horrified sort of way.)

EDIT: With respect to your last sentence, are you implicitly saying that the ends justify the means?

STFU Indian.

Also, alisnky wrote the primer on internet trolling, FWIW.

Unbelievable!

So... Gandhi was a community organizer. His goals and tactics were no different. Was he an evil man?

If he ran for office these days I'm sure the smear machine would get him.

No.

QFT, FTW.

I'm guessing people in India have a much greater fear of social disruption than we do. Mind you, I dislike rabble as much as the next elitist, but those rules sound like a dramatic rendering of ordinary political behavior which happens to take place on the local level. Maybe he just accidentally left out the rule about strangling hookers and planting their bodies in opposition headquarters?

I think he's reading this too literally. He's not going to "kill" anyone with their own rules... just use the limitations of their own rules/morals against them. Btw, if you think this is different from anyone in the halls of power from D.C. to Wall Street to Moscow to Calcutta, I have some CDSs I think you'd be interested in buying.

That's nothing - I have a glacier in Florida for anyone who is interested.
