It's all tied into mythology about Obama's birth, his education, his community organizing, and on and on. It's extensive, bizarre, and a conspiracy theory to rival the 911-truthers' complicated schemes.
In an op-ed for WND, Norris explained that the two people Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were academics who came up with a plan to introduce permanent socialism in the United States.
Norris said that "the Cloward-Piven strategy is a political plan created in 1966 by two Columbia University sociologists to overload the U.S. public welfare system, the goal being to replace it with a national system of 'a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty.'
"I echo again that i's neither a coincidence that Obama graduated from Columbia University nor that others who espoused the Cloward-Piven strategy were a group of radicals who have been a part of his life and education: Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky, Bernardine Dohrn, George Wiley, Frank Marshall Davis, Wade Rathke and George Soros, among others," Norris continued.
"What's also not a coincidence is how close Hillary ran in the same circles."

Carson's speech at the convention has got the FReaks in a tizzy about satanism.
ACTUALLY CLINTON INSIDERS SAY SHE IS ENGAGED IN WITCHCRAFT....
WITH A GROUP BASED IN LA.......
Back when Hillary was first lady, she would go home on the weekends to California with Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and some ... women, and they went to a church for witches. Witches,witches, witches . You know that lady that was tryin to run for the Senate and sometimes shed gone to some place where they did witch stuff? Hillary went to a church and worshiped Satan.

(49,007 posts)3. Alinsky was the subject of Hillary Clinton's Wellesley thesis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Rodham_senior_thesis
In 1969, Hillary Rodham wrote a 92-page senior thesis for Wellesley College about famed community organizer Saul Alinsky entitled There Is Only the Fight . . . : An Analysis of the Alinsky Model. While the work by Rodham as a college student was the subject of much speculation in articles and biographies of Hillary Rodham Clinton, access to the thesis was limited by the college, at the request of the Clinton White House, during her time as first lady.

Conservative author William F. Buckley, Jr. said in 1966 that Alinsky was "very close to being an organizational genius".
