On another front, I'm beginning to wonder if our patriots on the right might be seeking Saul Alinskys baleful influence in the wrong places. These pictures tell a troubling story.
That's George Romney, father of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, shaking hands with the notorious radical.
Here, thanks to Buzz Feed, are more pictures of the rendezvous.

George Romney and and Saul Alinsky were not merely casual acquaintances. Buzz Feed tells us that after the Detroit riots of 1967 Romney, then governor of Michigan, turned to Alinsky for advice. Citing a 1968 book, Romney's Way, Buzz Feed says Romney told his allies, "I think you ought to listen to Alinsky. It seems to me that we are always talking to the same people. Maybe the time has come to hear new voices."
By that time, according to T. George Harris, the author of Romney's Way, Alinsky had known George Romney for years and admired him for his "unique political insight."
