I am looking forward to the day when the musings of Sarah Palin are not reported by anyone, anywhere.

Adam Brandon, a spokesman for the conservative non-profit organization FreedomWorks, which is one of several groups involved in organizing Tea Party protests, says the group gives Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to its top leadership members. A shortened guide called Rules for Patriots is distributed to its entire network. In a January 2012 story that appeared in The Wall Street Journal, citing the organization's tactic of sending activists to town-hall meetings, Brandon explained, "his tactics when it comes to grass-roots organizing are incredibly effective." Former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey also gives copies of Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals to Tea Party leaders

And I'm almost positive she knows nothing of his writing or activities. And like most of the ignorami who are so fond of bandying his name about, she is unaware that he was strongly opposed to communism and socialism. In fact he was skeptical of any ideology.
