Title: Alinsky: True in 1972, Even Truer Now
Product review: You want to know why the neo-Stalinist neo-cons are kicking liberal butt nowadays? It's because they read Alinsky and took his lessons to heart.It's all here: Single-issue politics, properly targeting your opponent, means and ends. Writing in 1972, just before his death, Alinsky explains how he used these methods to become America's premier organizer -- and how his worst enemies were, all too often, the very wimpy-ass Ellen-Goodman-style 'liberals' who kept him from doing what needed to be done. (Meanwhile, neo-conservative and conservative people like David Horowitz and Ralph Reed were -- just as Alinsky feared -- memorizing everything he said so they could use it to keep us all down.)Want to know how to win? Read this book. (Joe Trippi has. He's Howard Dean's campaign manager, and his stratagems mark him as a true Son of Saul. That's why he's going to kick Bush's butt next year.)
