In David's view, it's "almost immaterial" whether Gingrich has any idea what Saul Alinsky actually thought and did. The point is, he serves Gingrich's purposeswhich are "to set him up as a sort of Willy Horton/swift boat kind of individual, some boogieman, some scary thing that goes bump in the night, that'll rape your daughter and eat your children."

When Barack Obama was trying to pass a universal health care law, he held town hall meetings that were attended by Second Amendment patriots, toting rifles and holstered pistols to let it be known they did not want their Constitution trifled with. It was bravado theater, and David Alinsky was impressed. "That would have been the kind of thing he would have thought up," he said about his father.
So I asked him if he kind of forgives the right when it pounds his dadbecause some of the stuff they do shows how far Saul Alinsky's legacy has spread.
"Forgiving!" he said. "I think they're a bunch of fucking assholes. Would you like me to put a finer point on it?"
