Reply #10: First time I heard Palin reference Alinsky

I was thinking that was proof that somebody else writes her stuff. Even if she'd ever heard the name it's doubtful that she knows or understands anything about the man or his work. It's as though the meme-makers on the right through any log they can find onto the fear fire to keep it going.

Around here I've run into a couple of people upset that our local college offers a degree program in socialism. It does no good to point out that the subject matter is sociology, not socialism; for them, they are the same thing. Rather than wasting my time trying to change their minds I offer to instruct their kids in appropriate social behavior, that really freaks them out. Beyond weird that anything with the word 'social' in it is now patently un-Murkin.
