This one page 6 quote from the link was worth the read:
“In 1969, the year that publishers reissued
Alinsky’s first book, Reveille for Radicals, a Wellesley
undergraduate named Hillary Rodham submitted
her 92-page senior thesis on Alinsky’s theories (she
interviewed him personally for the project). In her
conclusion Hillary compared Alinsky to Eugene
Debs, Walt Whitman and Martin Luther King.
The title of Hillary’s thesis was “There Is Only
the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this
title she had singled out the single most important
Alinsky contribution to the radical cause - his
embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once
wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is
always the revolution.”
Excellent anti-Hitlery campaign material.
“Hillary concludes her thesis with
these words: “Alinsky is regarded by many as the
proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy.
As such, he has been feared - just as Eugene Debs or
Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared,
because each embraced the most radical of political
faiths - democracy.” But democracy as understood
by the American founders is not “the most radical
of all political faiths” or, if it is, they regarded it as
dangerous enough to put checks and balances in its
way to restrain it.
When Hillary graduated from Wellesley in 1969,
she was offered a job with Alinsky’s new training
institute in Chicago. She opted instead to enroll at
Yale Law School, where she met her husband, and
future president, Bill Clinton.
In March 2007, the Washington Post reported that she had kept her connections even in the White House and gave
Alinsky’s army support: “As first lady, Clinton
occasionally lent her name to projects endorsed by
the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), the Alinsky
group that had offered her a job in 1968. She raised
money and attended two events organized by the
Washington Interfaith Network, an IAF affiliate.”
