Saul Alinsky? They Have to be Kidding

How to introduce something so absurd?

Smear du jour: The McCain forces are attempting to link Barack Obama with Saul Alinsky. Never heard of him or just haven't heard of him for, oh, 35 years or so: Democratic Promise - Saul Alinsky


GOP hits Obama on Ayers, ACORN and ... Alinsky? Chicago Sun-Times, United States

Alinsky died in 1972 when Obama was 10. The irony is that it is McCain's campaign that is running Alinsky's playbook: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it."

They would prefer to distract voters from this bit of news: Powell backs Obama for President Financial Times, UK. Colin Powell endorsed Obama today not 40 years ago.
