  • Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, was one of the 20th Century's most iconic provocateurs. "Alinskyite" has become a banal epithet on the Right. Many conservative politicians routinely link Barack Obama with Alinsky.

  • (Dallas Morning Views Blog)
  • In the 1930s John Dewey, the leftist, was infiltrating colleges. Thirty years later, in the 1960s, college students were idolizing another Marxist named Saul Alinsky. The first community organizer Alinsky has: a famous understudy, Barack Obama.
