of radical socialism or Marxism."
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force
to take some of the national security burden off the military.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national
security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community
organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday." --Letter from L. DAVID
ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky
"True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.
Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political
parties....
"One Alinsky benefactor was Wall Street investment banker Eugene Meyer, who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1930 to 1933. Meyer
and his wife Agnes co-owned The Washington Post. They used their newspaper to promote Alinsky....Her series, called 'The Orderly Revolution', made
Alinsky famous....
"Alinsky’s crowning achievement was his recruitment of a young high school student named Hillary Rodham. She met Alinsky through a radical
church group. Hillary wrote an analysis of Alinsky’s methods for her senior thesis at Wellesley College. ...
"Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following
Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.
"Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite.... Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a
community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project.... Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style
organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant
churchgoer." "Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky" by Richard Poe, 11-27-07. See also Community Oriented Policing
"His name was Saul Alinsky, the mentor of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the concierge emeritus of modern liberalism.... Alinsky was also the subject of
the previously suppressed 1969 Wellesley Thesis by one Hillary Rodham.... [In it, she wrote that Alinsky's 1971 book] Rules for Radicals provides the
organizer with a tactical style for community organization that assumes an adversarial relationship between groups of people in which one either
dominates or is dominated. ... Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the
opposition, who then react to your advantage.” “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” "Rules for radicals"
Opening page - Dedication
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first
radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
