Okay, so you didn't read the article. Gotcha.Hillary wrote her senior thesis, and largely agreed with him, but she doesn't "look up to him"? Is this really what you're claiming?
Secondly, "lol he was just trolling bro" isn't an argument. Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer & admired him. He further said he'd rather be in hell & would continue organizing people there.
Fine, I guess I'll cite your own source back at you.
For your claim on her looking up to him (implied):
But there's little evidence that Clinton was particularly close to the man. And indeed, her decision to write a thesis involving Alinsky wasn't her idea, her thesis adviser recently told The Washington Post.
For your claim on her agreeing with him:
He [Alan Schechter] said Clinton approached it pragmatically and not from a pro-Alinsky perspective. "The thesis was entirely pragmatic," Schechter said. "Its conclusions were extremely pragmatic -- 'This doesn't work,' 'that doesn't work,' 'this has the only hope of partial benefit.'"
Probably something stronger:
He recalled her telling him the following spring that Alinsky had offered her a job, but she had concluded, he said, that his method wouldn’t have a major impact on poverty and that it would lose its impact on the political leaders of the community.
She had come to see Alinsky as a well-meaning rabble-rouser, Schechter argued.
For your claim on "lol he was just trolling bro", let me back up the claim:
Alinsky was a self-described radical, and this is indeed a provocative statement. It also appears to be something of a one-off; while Alinsky's book is all about "Rules for Radicals," he does not go on to further discuss this particular radical — Lucifer — and the example he might provide for other radicals.
For the claim on "admiring him" and "he'd rather be in hell":
Alinsky did offer other provocative comments that have led to of accusations of sympathy for the devil, so to speak. In a 1972 Playboy interview, he said that while he identifies as Jewish, he would choose to go to Hell. "Hell would be heaven for me," because it was full of "have-nots," he said. "They're my kind of people."
This is literally "lol im trolling". You have to be dense not to get that.
