Republicans in general, and Newt Gingrich, in particular, and pepper their speech, mentioning Saul Alinsky.
"I think that if we have a great choice with a historic decision really great, we are able to overcome Barack Obama's large margin ... that an American campaign is open to all Americans who prefer to check on food stamps, and preferably the Declaration of Independence of the Alinsky Saul and prefer the security and strong national appease enemies, "said Newt Gingrich in the debate Thursday night.
"The focus of this campaign, I think, is the exception of the U.S. against extremism, Saul Alinsky," said Gingrich Saturday after winning the South Carolina primary.
Rudy Giuliani recently rejected the tables in the Alinsky Gingrich's speech. "What you are doing hell, Newt?" He said the former mayor of New York recently on Fox News. "I hope that this Saul Alinsky! This is what Barack Obama Saul Alinsky teaches, and what you say is part of the reason we're in big trouble right now."
"What follows is for those who want to change the world than it is to believe that it should be," he wrote in the introduction to Alinsky. "The Machiavelli wrote The Prince to that of how to maintain power. It is written, the rules for those radicals who do not have a way to continue."
Alinsky influenced his writings, many politicians across the political spectrum.
And to the writings of Alinsky was the subject of a senior thesis of 1969 at Wellesley College - Hillary Clinton. It was fodder for critics of his paintings as a Marxist or radical. (Alinsky, however, he did not join the Communist Party).
He added, "As far as what he says Alinsky does not seem" radical, "he wrote." His words are used in our schools, churches, parents and friends, by our peers, the difference is Alinsky really believes in, and aware of the need to change the existing structures of our lives in order to carry out " .
Alinsky offered Clinton a job at his school after graduation, but she refused to go to law school at Yale University.
Saul Alinsky also drew the attention of George Romney, governor of the state of Michigan (R) - and the father of the Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. "I think we should listen to the Alinsky", said Romney "to white friends," according to his biography by George T. Harris. "I think we always talk with the same people, perhaps it is time to hear new voices."
Became Dick Armey, former Majority Leader in the House of Representatives President of the group FreedomWorks Tea Party, and the delivery of copies of a list of active radicals. The organization said it has examined closely, "What the left."
Conservative activist and prankster James O'Keefe also said he was inspired by the rules of the extremists.
Also influenced other Alinsky organizer from Chicago - Barack Obama. Ryan Lizza wrote, one of the most prolific historians Obama now in the New Yorker magazine, in 2007 in the New Republic:
But who was Saul Alinsky?
Born in 1909 to parents of Russian Jewish immigrants, and graduated from the University of Chicago. Leaving high school should be organized in the poor suburbs of the city. He organized against the harsh conditions that operate in the area of the back yard in Chicago, made infamous by Upton Sinclair in the bush. The organization expanded its efforts in later to other cities.
He has published a practical guide for realistic radicals and, in 1971, before his death in 1972: the main work, and the rules of the extremists.
Obama was also critical of it. "It is true that the concept of self-interest is necessary," Obama said Lizza. "But Alinsky less the degree to which the hopes and dreams and ideals and values are very important in the organization of the people in their own interest."
Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner and made a point of difference is that Gingrich was used many methods of Saul Alinsky, Alinsky said: "The work of the organizers is to maneuver and bait the establishment so publicly that a serious attack" the enemy. "
This tactic, in part, which led to the success of Gingrich in the presidential campaign.
