Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky

MOST AMERICANS

never heard of

Saul Alinsky.

.

.

Yet his shadow darkens

our coming election.

Democrat frontrunners

Hillary Clinton and

Barack Obama both

worship at the altar

of Alinskyism.

.

.

In a 1971 book called

Rules for Radicals,

Alinsky scolded the Sixties Left

for scaring off potential

converts in Middle America.

True revolutionaries do

not flaunt their radicalism,

Alinsky taught.

They cut their hair,

put on suits and infiltrate

the system from within.

Alinsky viewed

revolution as a slow,

patient process.

The trick was to penetrate

existing institutions such

as churches,

unions and political parties.

In his native Chicago,

Alinsky courted power

wherever he found it.

.

.

His alliance with

prominent Catholic clerics,

such as Bishop Bernard Sheil,

gave him respectability.

His friendship with crime

bosses such as Frank Nitti –

Al Capone’s second-in-command –

gave Alinsky clout on the street.

In our book

The Shadow Party:

How George Soros,

Hillary Clinton and Sixties

Radicals Siezed Control of

the Democratic Party,

my co-author David Horowitz

and I trace the rise of Alinsky’s

political influence

since the 1930s.

.

.

He excelled at wooing

wealthy funders.

Start-up money for his

Industrial Areas Foundation –

a training school for

radical organizers –

came from department-store

mogul Marshall Field III,

Sears Roebuck heiress

Adele Rosenwald Levy,

and Gardiner Howland Shaw,

an assistant secretary of state

for Franklin Roosevelt.
