Saul alinsky

  • Republicans in general, and Newt Gingrich in specific, pepper their rhetoric with mentions of Saul Alinsky.
  • (Huffington Post)
  • There has been a great deal of recent controversy surrounding the alleged presence of a portrait of Saul Alinsky (left) at the White House, an accusation put forward by GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich.
  • (New American)
  • Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has been talking about Saul Alinsky a lot lately. Youd almost think hes obsessed with the man. But all this Alinsky name-dropping has a lot of Americans scratching their noggins and Googling his name.
  • (The Stir)
  • Barack Obama weathered the guilt-by-association storm in 2008, withstanding criticism of his ties to Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
  • (ABC News)
  • 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.
  • (Forbes)
  • Newt Gingrich calls Barack Obama a Saul Alinsky radical and sneering at the presidents tenure as a community organizer. If youre curious who Alinsky was, Richard Adams at The Guardian has an informative short post up on his blog.
  • (TheStranger.com)
  • This article was originally published in Portuguese. Most Americans, let alone Brazilians, have never heard of Saul Alinsky. But with Newt Gingrich now, if perhaps briefly the Republican party frontrunner, its a good idea to learn.
