There are a couple of things said about Saul Alinsky in the first chapter that are not quite right: The book claims Alinksy was a Marxist. This is stated factually in the first chapter and later repeated as an opinion towards the end of the book, which I suppose the author believes is acceptable because of the disclaimer.

12 Ways To Use Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals Against Liberals

The fact is Saul Alinsky never subscribed to any political party or ideology at all. He was not a Marxist or a Democrat or a Republican.

The book claims that Saul Alinsky's goal was to destroy capitalism and replace it with a Marxist utopia. This one is ridiculous. Saul Alinsky was a community organizer and his life's ambition was to help small communities of people who were oppressed gain some control power over their situations to make their lives better.

He never had any ambitions at the national level at all. In the first two chapters the author paints a picture of Alinsky and all liberals as morally bankrupt. This is a thesis throughout the book, which is important because he also connects Hillary Clinton and President Obama to Alinsky, therefore showing that they, too, have no moral code. It seem strange to me that he chooses as evidence a particular example from the Alinsky book.

In that, Alinsky describes a time when a company produced evidence of Alinsky sleeping with a young woman and threatened to make it public if he didn't stop his protests. Alinsky wasn't married at the time and the woman was also a single adult, so he told them to go ahead. As a result of that, an insider in the company brought Alinsky proof of a senior executive in the company involved in a homosexual affair.

Alinsky chose not to use the information, and explained in his book that it was too far. He would not stoop to that unless there was absolutely no other way, thus proving that Alynski had moral boundaries. Well, the author in this book ignores Alinsky's explanation and tries unsuccessfully to state that the incident does not in any way show Alinsky had any morals at all, because the author says he didn't.

What I find strange about this is it disproves the entire second chapter of this book, yet the author chose to include it, anyway. Maybe he didn't expect anyone to have read the Alinsky book.

The third chapter of this book describes each of Alinsky's tactics and then attempts to provide examples of how President Obama used each of them, either during the presidential campaign, or during his first term as President. Well, Alinsky wrote his book "Rules for Radicals" as a guidebook for community organizers. Few of his tactics actually would work for a politician, although some do. Some of the examples presented here seem to fit an Alynski tactic, but the majority just don't quite work the way the author presents them. Also, if these examples given about President Obama do prove he used or uses Saul Alynski's tactics, then I would say all or most politicians do, as well, because similar examples can be given for many of them.

In the fourth chapter, the author provides his own "rules" to defeat Alynski tactics. I suppose he chose to call them rules because calling them tactics might confuse the readers. I believe the rules he provides would be very effective. In fact I see them in action all the time.
