The organizing philosophy of the Left
Just finished Glenn Beck TV this evening and am still doing tons of radio interviews for Culture of Corruption .
On a quick break here and wanted to post a quote by SEIU president and Friend of Obama Andy Stern for you to contemplate as the White House bully boys try to salvage Dear Leader’s legislative agenda.
From p. 220 of the book:
Asked about his organizing philosophy, Andy Stern summed it up this way: “[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.”

Clever phrase. Unfortunatley true.
Great show with Beck. He set up your interview very well. You guys need to collaborate on a book!
Saw you on Glenn Beck, Michelle. You done good!!!
And the title of Nancy Pelosi’s book is…Know Your Power
Liberals crave power…over you!
…bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.
Translated does that mean….
Fo shizzle yo, thugzizzle your tizzle?
First time, (the royal) we ask nicely. Next time – not so nice.
How much power will they have after they get booted from office?
Well, it’s certainly not about good ideas and the country’s well-being.
That’s what this “healthcare” debate is all about. “You don’t want gov’t run healthcare? Too bad, you’re getting it anyway. We know what’s best for you simply because it’s in OUR best interests.” What the ignorant masses don’t understand is that “OUR” only refers to the governing class and only if you’re a Dem.
Thug is as thug does. These people are traitorous scum.
great job Michelle!! agree with post #2…a dynamic duo and the book would be another best seller….keep the sunlight on this disease infecting our nation….
I wonder if Andy would feel the same way if he were stareing down a tube of about .45 diameter. I somehow believe that would bring out the coward in him. You just cannot intimidate a 45.
Michelle,
PLEASE be careful. Your book has gobs of stuff against bho and most important mo. Me thinks, this gal is not a nice person and will do all she needs to do to see you and everyone who dares to tell American’s who they are needs to be silenced. I love you on Beck and Hannity.

Tea Party Protesters are getting on ACORN’s and other radical groups lists and are showing up too.
This is the most fantastic thing ever.
People are told to bring their video cameras, signs and be polite.
True dat.
MM, you were stunning and smart on Beck’s show. Deadly combination.
I can’t see good writers wanting to collaborate on books because they each have their own message and way of laying it out.
Said Stern: “Refer to Alinsky.”
Is Andy Stern related to Fritz Stern.
Fritz Stern wrote the book “The Failure of Illiberalism”
Also read the Ralph Nader article on Andy Stern
There are 4 different kinds of birth certificates Hawaii statutes could use -issue? This is confusing there are 4 different ways to report a birth, and have it recorded and certified in Hawaii?
http://logisticsmonster.com/2009/07/28/obamas-birth-certificate-which-one-is-it/
That is the very scary part…will there be another honest election? Honest within the boundaries of past U.S. elections that is. Dead people can only die and vote so many times…can’t they?
Be prepared folks.
I dare say that clever little liberal marxists are as dangerous as radical islam. Both want America destroyed.
*Typical thought process from a typical union thug; These Progressives will bring “Death to America”, but only if we let them; We outnumber them by a wide margin, so we simply must out “activist” them; And we need only properly influence 535 people in D.C. to do the right thing now or we will fire them.
*Viva La FairTax!
This is no surprise.
Any dope will do.
Case in point: see our leader?
MM,
I am beginning to wonder if Beck knows how much you know, and have posted, about ACORN over the last couple of years…
He’s a little late to the party but we sure do need him, heck…we need everyone and their help exposing the organizer in chief, acorn head thug ObamAcorn.
This is chapter and verse from Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. No surprise there.
Probably a good idea for us to read it. It is the instruction manual by which Obama and his minions will attempt to overtake and perpetually rule this nation.
He was talking about labor/management relations! That’s how labor unions should work — try to negotiate but maintain the threat of a strike. MM, this was beneath you. You are smart enough to know this already.
“[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.”That sword cuts two ways.
He was talking about power. You are smart enough to know that. Yes, even you.
Listening to Michelle on Beck for the second time tonight.Only two problems–her segment was too short and Glen talks too much.
I am one of those people who often thinks we are doomed, although I always advise others that you “eat an elephant one bite at a time”,maybe I should take my own advice.
Thank you,Michelle for pointing that out to me by mentioning Rattner.That is the first bite.
Don’cha just love the post-partisan hopenchange?
Sounds like he’s trying to use some Jedi mind-sh!t. Whatever, dude. You’d be better off with a really stinky fart.
Only as much as they can “buy” from their prison cells. They could buy extra privileges for candy and cigarettes, but Big Bertha and Bad Bart will probably have the power over everything else, if you know what I mean.
That sounds like the quote of the day to me! Ha!
Hey, all you pikers!
We’re doing a marathon on the thread for “Don’t Taze Me Bro’” on previous entry page.
Trying to hit 3,000 messages in a thread.
You have nothing better to do, right? LOL
Indeed! Free citizens prefer also the power persuasion and the ballot; but if those fail we can roll to the 2nd Amendment.
LtCol P said (#37):
Wingnuts on Democrats: “If you can’t beat `em, shoot `em.”
lgm posts, then scuttles & hides behind the panthers with batons standing near the ballot box…
riiiight.
By definition, the government has access to the entire military might our country can bring to bear.
I would question exactly what “power” this clown thinks he can bring about? I’m sure none of them are pleasant.
I love that! Thanks for the slogan, lgm. Bumper sticker, anyone?
Keep these Urls handy and use them often.
