Strategies and tactics for radical activists by Saul AlinskyBy Larry Gilbert
– January 25, 2009
As Rush Limbaugh was just referenced by president Obama I peeled the onion back to find Rush referencing the 12th rule of Saul Alinsky, author, Rules for Radicals, recognized by some as the father of radicalism. Rather than covering Rule #12 I am providing the entire list that may be useful to all of us who are engaged in promoting integrity and transparency in government.

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals

To paraphrase some sage advice, “keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.” If your business or organization ever becomes a target of radical activists, it will be extremely helpful to know what strategies of attack will used against you. Short of having spies infiltrate their organization – a practice that is sure to be found out and exposed to your discredit – it would help to study their methods.
