...It would explain why HCAN was particularly aggressive at Rep. Schakowsky's own town hall meeting. And Creamer's involvement would also explain his high profile after being released from prison. He worked for the Obama campaign, training volunteers at "Camp Obama." He has continued his work at the Strategic Consulting Group, leading "many of the country's most significant issue campaigns," he claims. He was also at the White House state dinner last month -- together with Stern, Axelrod, and other cronies -- despite the fact that ex-convicts are usually barred from such events.

Creamer's broader aim, as laid out in his book, is the "democratization of wealth" in America and "progressive control of governments around the world." As he recently wrote on his blog at the Huffington Post: "If we succeed in winning health insurance reform we will have breached the gates of the status quo. We will demonstrate that fundamental change is possible. Into that breach will flow a wave of progressive change."

It is a radical agenda, making use of Rep. Schakowsky's public profile, a network of far-left organizations, and Creamer's old friends in the White House. It began in federal prison, and has unfolded exactly as intended, over the protests of thousands of ordinary Americans across the nation. It will not end with health care. It will continue until Mr. Creamer's Alinskyite dream of radical change is realized--or until voters stand up and put a stop to it in 2010.
