O.K. I missed the first quote marks and thought the second started the quoting. Let's re-edit:
****** [Alinsky] So whenever a community comes to me and asks me for help and says, "We're.... ******
So, it still looks to me as though you letting Alinsky speak for you. That this is from an Alinsky interview may be relevant to a biographer of Alinsky (or to St. Peter at the Gates if there is a St. Peter at the Gates), but how is it relevant to discussion of what "the left" should do in 2006?
All my earlier comments still hold.
