most people it goes right over their head. why does he keep doing it? because i think he s correct and he wants us all to begin to think about how this president became president and how the american people really never knew where this president was on anything before we elected him. not to any real degree. i think now we do. okay. your thoughts on that, congressman davis. if it s not food stamps it s saul alinsky with that interest interesting trotsky-like sounding name. he was no comie. i know why the name is used to confuse the voter. this guy must be some far left dangerous alien that the president has been associated with. why would the speaker keep using this name? saul alinsky. it s part your interpretation of it because as the congressman just said from arizona, nobody actually knows who this guy saul alinsky is. he doesn t say he was a community organizer who has been instructive in his methods to people like dick armey and the tea party who use his tactics. he s a tac
he s not some far crazy left winger. but the president is being charged with hanging around with radicals is what s going on here again. which is a pretty easy to prove charge. i agree with i agree with representative franks. folks don t know who this fellow is. i didn t know much either. and it s simply an attempt to paint the president as a radical which he s not. and newt gingrich who is fighting for his life down here in florida is railing against anybody who represents the establishment. president obama, mitt romney, the republican establishment. here today, chris, it looks like the general election. you ve got every major republican surrogate in the country down here railing on newt gingrich. and he s fighting back against the establishment, including the president. what would the radical proposals of saul alinsky congressman franks? what were the radical proposals? it was some of the tactics that he espoused where, you know, you move into the community and you pump peo
