I knew about that thesis. I didn't know that Alinsky knew her.
She's not the only disciple:
Daley, Jackson, and Sharpton appear to be following the revolutionary tactics advocated by yet another Chicago militant: the late Saul Alinsky.
Alinsky, a life-long Marxist, was a Chicago organizer who was dedicated to winning at all cost. He once wrote, "The most unethical of all means, is the non-use of any means." In simple terms, "Do whatever it takes to win." If that means lying, cheating, and stealing--so be it. Win at any cost.
Alinsky dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals, to Lucifer, who, notes Alinsky, "is the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom."
Saul Alinsky's strategies are clearly at work in Florida. One of his teachings is that "Truth is relative and changing." We are seeing this in the behavior of Gore operatives who change election rules after the fact and redefine "dimpled chads" as votes for Al Gore. Another Alinsky dictim teaches that "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." The vicious attack against Katherine Harris is a prime example of this tactic. One of Alinsky's more memorable comments is this: "To hell with charity. The only thing you get is what you're strong enough to get--so you had better organize."
The spirit of Saul Alinsky is alive and well in Florida's election battle. His spirit is also alive and well in the heart of Senator-elect Hillary Clinton. Alinsky was a friend and mentor to Hillary. In fact, she adored this Marxist so much that she wrote her senior college thesis on Alinsky's organizing tactics and strategies.
