Breitbart's Vetting of Obama starts... Today

When he appeared at CPAC last month, Andrew Breitbart pledged that he would vet Barack Obama this election year. That vetting process is going to include the political version of Chinese water torture. The first drip was penned by Andrew before his death and it includes a poster from 1998 that promoted a play about Saul Alinsky. Guess whose name appeared on that poster.

You guessed it.

Via Big Government:

In 1998, a small Chicago theater company staged a play titled The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to the life and politics of the radical community organizer whose methods Obama had practiced and taught on Chicago’s South Side.

Obama was not only in the audience, but also took the stage after one performance, participating in a panel discussion that was advertised in the poster for the play.

Aside from having an image of the press release promoting the play, BG has also provided a copy of the flyer.

Here is some of what Breitbart wrote about the play:

So, what’s in the play? It truly is a love song to Alinsky. In the first few minutes of the play, Alinsky plays Moses – yes, the Biblical Moses – talking to God. The play glorifies Alinsky stealing food from restaurants and organizing others to do the same, explaining, “I saw it as a practical use of social ecology: you had members of the intellectual community, the hope of the future, eating regularly for six months, staying alive till they could make their contributions to society.”

Interestingly, although the play began with Alinsky playing Moses, it ended with Obama's ideological mentor explaining that he preferred going to hell than to heaven:

The play finishes with Alinsky announcing he’d rather go to Hell than Heaven. Why? “More comfortable there. You see, all my life I’ve been with the Have-Nots: here you’re a Have-Not if you’re short of money, there you’re a Have-Not if you’re short of virtue. I’d be asking more questions, organizing them. They’re my kind of people – Hell would be Heaven for me.”

That’s The Love Song of Saul Alinsky. It’s radical leftist stuff, and it revels in its radical leftism.

Fits right in line with Alinsky's dedication in his book, Rules for Radicals:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

If this is merely the opening salvo in an all-out offensive against Obama, it's a big one.
