This thread has gone just about the way I figured it would. I didn’t create the post; I just shared it for open discussion.
Rather than look at it on the merits of what it implies or ask, the thread went straight on to discredit the person who wrote it because the original author stated it was Saul Alinsky who said it. Of course it wasn't Saul Alinsky. But that's all that was focused on to discredit it (except AwdGSX13, he got it).
And that seems to be the way of left vs right, liberal vs conservative, black vs white, Christian vs Atheist, etc. as a way to not talk about what it really says. It's really is a sad state of affairs for everybody.
Ok, so let’s remove the "Saul Alinsky didn't write it" part out of it and say he did write it, or Mickey Mouse wrote it, doesn't really matter. Tell yourself somebody wrote it and now discuss it for the merits of what it says and not who wrote it or why.

I have to completely disagree with you. The majority of us know that opening discussing topics such as this on a car forum is basically an exercise in futility.

Basically its a waste of time.

I disagree. What difference does it make if its a car forum, a guitar forum, or a house painting forum? It's in the Political section. So if you can't seperate the two it's not our fault.

NABR went on this same path just before it went extinct. No car talk, just political bickering.

Yep, nothing good ever really comes of it, people just get fed up with the other sides viewpoint, because its always wrong and they post meaningless gifs and images instead. :)

Waste of time indeed.

Sheesh. So literal. Let me correct my statement.

Why even waste your time and ours if you have nothing to add to the discussion?

The post says that Saul Alinsky wrote the "How to create a social state". He didn't. The point of the rumor thread was to create a link between Obama and Hillary since they had written about Alinsky and imply they are following the 8 levels of control - which Alinsky didn't write.

Since Alinsky didn't write How to create a social state, what is the point of discussing it?
