Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago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.

Clinton’s 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 Clinton’s early political views than previously known.

This is a quote from another article about Clinton’s relationship with Saul Alinsky…

“In the book, Alinsky encouraged community organizers to “fan the latent hostilities” of low-income, inner city residents and “search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them.” His 1971 book, “Rules for Radicals,” published a year before his death, expanded on that theme. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it,” Alinsky wrote.”

So what we see from the Obama Administration flows from the same political influence of Alinsky. Every day we see them try to “fan the latent hostilities” of low-income, inner city residents” so that they might continue to organize groups to support their agenda. They seek to destroy what was once a shining city on the hill.
