Alinsky, a community organizer from Chicago, set down his principles of social persuasion in his book, Rules For Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, which he dedicated to Lucifer, "the first radical."
"President Barack Hussein Obama studied Saul Alinsky and taught about him for several years at the Saul Alinsky Institute," said Brannon Howse, an author and expert on Alinsky.
"Change," the word used in President Obama's election campaign slogan, is found frequently in the Alinsky book.
"By change, Saul Alinsky means a revolution," Howse said. "Alinsky said we need to have a Socialist, Communist revolution. We need to do away with private property, free enterprise, free market, capitalism. But we do it over time, by penetrating every institution and changing their worldview."
And, if opposition arises, the eleventh rule in Alinsky's primer for radicals calls on them to "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it . . .," a common practice of the current administration.
"You see that happening today where the [Obama] administration is going after people that disagree with them," Howse said. "You have the former Transportation Security Administration nominee . . . saying that the big threat to America is people who are anti-abortion and anti-government." In other words, "people who are pro-life and who are conservative and are not for big government" pose the greatest threat to America.
Alinsky also calls for radicals to defend their agenda by ridiculing the opposition.
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule," Alinsky writes. "Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"Who did they use this tactic against? Well, Sarah Palin," author and national speaker William J. Federer said on the broadcast. "Here she is immensely popular, probably one of the most popular modern political figures, and they have taken this attitude of singling out and trying to ridicule her."
In his book, Radical Rulers: The White House Elites Who are Pushing America Toward Socialism, Robert Knight, Coral Ridge Ministries' Washington, D.C., correspondent, writes that Alinsky's primer "is all about using deception, manipulation, and raw power to bring about a communist future."
"It is amazing to think that such an influential book as Rules for Radicals has gone on to shape the thinking and values of some of the key players in our government today," Knight said.
