Oh, how I miss William Buckley. He was the first great spokesman of the modern conservative movement. His Firing Line programs were always as entertaining as they were enlightening. I watched his show in the 70s and early 80s. This show from the late 60s showed him in his intellectual and physical prime. Saul Alinsky is quite the slime-ball, but we should heed his words because they reveal the playbook of our political enemies. Thanks for posting. Since, I am Amazon.com prime member, I will check out the other videos as well.
About 23 minutes in, Buckley really challenges Alinsky on the notion of charity in America.
Buckley insists America is a charitable nation. Then Buckley takes Alinsky to task for going into black neighborhoods and stoking the “victimization” of the people there. Buckley reminds Alinsky that there are people in Russia who currently believe they are “free”, and if a person is told he is a “victim”, he will believe it whether it is true or not.
Excellent stuff.
