Newt & Saul Alinsky - Further

Bill Moyers decided Friday evening to defend community activist figure Saul Alinsky from Newt Gingrich’s constant attacks on him on the campaign trail.

Going a little more in depth than Bill Maher’s colorful portrayal last weekend, Moyers expressed how Republicans such as former House Majority Leader Dick Armey and even Gingrich himself have used some of Alinsky’s ideas.

“Maybe that’s why Newt Gingrich has been slandering Alinsky’s name,” Moyers said. “Maybe he’s afraid. Afraid the very white folks he’s been rousing to a frenzy will discover who Saul Alinsky really was. A patriot, in a long line of patriots, who scorned the malignant narcissism of duplicitous politicians and taught everyday Americans to think for themselves and to fight together for a better life. That’s the American way, and any good historian would know it.”

  Raw Story
To be fair, Newt has never claimed to be a good historian.

If I vote at all, I’m going to vote for Bill Moyers for president.

And don’t bother trying to shame me for not voting. You can’t. Because, shame on you for voting for the Republican or the Democratic nominee.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Hey, you may have another option on the ticket.  I'll stick to Bill Moyers.
