The parallels existed in the preceding Administration as well but I highly doubt you'd call it Bush's bible.
But, but, but Booooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I now have to defend Bush when I was not defending him before and certainly did not bring up anything about parallels with Bush and Alinsky??... but I indeed would be curious to see if you do try and make those parallels.. knock yourself out
I'm pointing out that your sinister parallels are common political tactics (like Machievelli's writings). If you feel the need to defend anyone, that's not my problem.
Consider Alinksy's manufactured "politics of personal destruction" - the tactic of demonizing the opposition through hyper-partisan personal attacks. Recall the last 3 election cycles?
Or Alinsky's Rule 12: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions". Pretty much exactly what the right has been doing to Obama's appointees.
It's dishonest to act as if Obama is using Alinksky as his "bible" or "playbook" when much of Alinsky's material is in common use throughout the political theatre.
But the 'right' is also going after the stances of the institutions and not the individuals... but that is a disagreement with your conclusion and not calling you a liar or what you said a lie...
Notice the difference, sparky?
