Listen to the speech he made about the difference between black and white youth to glean this. If you want to create divisions within American society then you couldn't do better than have someone like him in a position of power.<br />So what is the administration doing? Let's look at the philosophy behind this, one of the guiding principles:<br /><br />Alinsky™s Rules for Radicals<br />RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut <br />off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people <br />and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but <br />very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294294294975883770.post-8733194000602239272009-09-05T12:00:56.667-04:002009-09-05T12:00:56.667-04:00Why is it no major media outlets outside of FOX ha...Why is it no major media outlets outside of FOX have mentioned Mr Jones?
