"Bill Moyers explains what we need to know about community activist Saul Alinsky, and why New Gingrich might be so afraid of him."

Bill Moyers Makes Newt Gingrich Look Like an Idiot

Bill Moyers, Moyers and Company

�

Truthdig writes: "The PBS headliner rises to the defense of Saul Alinsky, '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.'"

"Newt Gingrich has been slandering (Moyers' word) the late community organizer in his campaign appearances, although his crowd 'knows nothing about the target except that they are supposed to hate him,' says Moyers. By explaining who Alinsky was and even how Gingrich himself has adopted at least one of Alinsky's talking points, Moyers shows that the candidate, who claims to be a historian, is either ignorant of Alinsky, or is deliberately misleading people. - PZS"

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Reports from the G-20 summit in Japan have it that President Trump is particularly bothered by a Democratic ticket of Sanders and Warren or Sanders and Harris. He would much prefer to run against Joe Biden whom he considers a distant clone of himself and , like Sir Donald, an ardent champion of the super rich.

Yes, there are additional reports of Trump complaining to Putin, looking super cool whenever he has Trump lapping around. Vladimir apparently said, "Deal with it." and "Stop, kibitching." [sarcasm]

This is really good. Putin could help the democrats in exactly the same way he helped Trump.

Biden is Trump's dream opponent. But what Trump does not see is that democrats would vote for anyone just to defeat him.

Trump is a lame duck and a failure. He's sanctions wars and his tariff wars are hurting Americans and the whole world. He should be easy to defeat in 2020. But once again, Democrats are working overtime to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Biden is their snatcher man.

My wife has long said that Trump has been promoting Biden's candidacy.

The question to ask is, "What would Sheldon Adelson do?"

I wish Adelson would just die. He's old enough. What's he waiting for?

We have never needed Russia to have democraticly truncated, unfair elections, and corporate-contr oled representives. And we never have. Unfair elections is the American way.
