In 1969, Hillary Rodham wrote a 92-page senior thesis for Wellesley College entitled "There Is Only The Fight...": An Analysis of the Alinsky Model. The subject was famed radical community organizer Saul Alinsky. Rodham, an honors student at Wellesley, received an A grade on the thesis.[1] The work then went unnoticed until Hillary Rodham Clinton entered the White House as First Lady. Clinton researchers and political opponents sought out the thesis, thinking it contained evidence that Rodham had held strong radical or socialist views.In early 1993, the White House requested that Wellesley not release the thesis to anyone.[1] Wellesley complied, instituting a new rule that closed access to the thesis of any sitting U.S. president or First Lady, a rule that in practice applied only to Rodham.[2] Clinton critics and several biographers seized upon this action as a sure sign that the thesis held politically explosive contents that would reveal her radicalism or extremism.[3] Hostile Clinton biographer Barbara Olson wrote in 1999 that Clinton "does not want the American people to know the extent to which she internalized and assimilated the beliefs and methods of Saul Alinsky."[3] In her 2003 memoirs, Clinton mentioned the thesis only briefly, saying she had agreed with some of Alinsky's ideas, but hadn't agreed with his belief that it was impossible to "change the system" from inside.[4]"The Fight" sounds terribly close to Hitler's My Strugle.

You just answered the question for why she wouldn't want those papers to be exposed. Her enemies would use it against her. It's smart politics! But also understand that after so many years many people's political views change significantly. I know mine have and perhaps even yours. If she still holds that strong of communist or socialist ideals I think she should let the American people know that so that they won't think she has anything to hide and people would be more likely to trust her. I personally think that there are many good ideals in communism and socialism that would be good for our country. It's a matter of taking the best of democracy, capitalism, communism, and socialism and make it work well for our country where everyone is treated fair and has all of their needs taken care of but as well allow opportunity for people to get rich if they desire but without screwing over other people in the process because that's exactly what socialism tries to prevent but yet is perfectly acceptable in the money-hungry capitalistic economy we live under!

as a community Organizer, I attend many of Alinsky's seminars on community non-violence tactics in community organization. His tactics were widely used during the non-violence Civil Rights, Human rights and Employment rights struggle in this country.Dose that make me a communist, No., No ways more than living in Bush's America during his unjust wars, Make me a Fascist.

I don't know why her opponents aren't going to publish it and use it to get her.I am beginning to think with the Government we have that they aren't going after her because they are subscribing to the same beliefs as her.

Honestly I do not know what is worse. Seriously not letting us know what it is she wrote or the extreme measures she is willing to take in hiding it. If she is going to go to that much trouble to hide it - imagine what she'll do with information the people deserve to know as a president? I can only imagine...her national security adviser better have some big pants they can stuff documents into.

Maybe you should read about Alinsky yourself rather than cutting pasting the blog of some right-wing lunatic. Are you aware that you have no clue whatsoever what you are talking about?So anyone who writes about Hitler loves Hitler? Every graduate student believes 100% the subject matter of any subject they research? If I say that Genghis Khan was a great administrator, does that mean I want America to invade Europe and rape the women?Do you even know one shred of one fact about Alinsky?Jesus H. Christ, don't you knuckle-draggers ever give up with your silly arguments?Don't you realize how ridiculous conclusions like this make you look?Stop embarrassing yourself. Get an education before you post things about which you know nothing.

Can't bring it out too soon. They will wait until she is the nominee and then they will harpoon her with it. If she tanks in the primaries, then there is no need.

The thesis had been unlocked after the Clinton's left the White House in 2001 and is available for reading at the Wellesley college archives.

My views have changed drastically in the last 30 years. For instance, I used to be a republican, but I've grown a lot since then. I'll bet like most people, she has too. Have you remained stagnant?

You have clearly cut and paste this (including footnote references for footnotes you have omitted) but decided to keep your source a secret. Why are you plagiarizing something rather than giving it the credibility it might gain were you to properly reference it? Why are you ashamed of the source for this latest attack on the Clintons?

She was a Republican in College. President of the group. How does that sit with communism?

I read it. There's not really much there other than her idolization of a confirmed liberal socialist named Alinsky.As a note, I hate Hiltlery, but this thesis has no teeth... It's juvenial drivel... Hitlery doesn't really give her own ideas or draw any conclusions in it either.
