Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed [View all]
NOTE: READ THE HILLARY CLINTON-SAUL ALINSKY LETTERS HERE http://www.scribd.com/doc/240077031/The-Hillary-Letters.Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveals new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her early ideological development.
Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing.
Clintons relationship with Alinsky, and her support for his philosophy, continued for several years after she entered Yale law school in 1969, two letters obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
The letters obtained by the Free Beacon are part of the archives for the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training center for community organizers founded by Alinsky, which are housed at the University of Texas at Austin.
The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clintons early political views than previously known.

Her senior thesis wasn't a hit job on Alinsky, smug or otherwise. Only the most paranoid

Your zeal to smooth over Hillary's story seems to have tripped you up a bit.

Your opinion is NOT a fact. You've already acknowledged that. And Alinsky's own opinion --
