Product Reviews:
  Rules for Radicals 
Rules for Radicals author, Saul Alinsky, is wiley, intelligent and fairly convincing. It becomes evident that the Clintons were educated with this point of view, and obvious that Barack Obama has lifted the strategy and verbiage of Saul Alinsky.
  Good service on a tough subject 
The item arrived as promised with accurate and quick turnaround. I haven't gotten around to reading it because I'm not sure I can stomach it, but I have only a beef with the author, not with the seller.
  A real eye-opener 
This book is a must read for all to understand radicalism and how their goals are achieved. This book was essentially the blueprint for the Obama campaign. Saul Alinsky and his views are admired by both Obama and Hillary Clinton.
  Are you kidding me? ( ual777contrail )
This is a man who dedicated his book to satan?
a man who was so off base with society.

this book allows for the decline in western civilization, he is or i should say was, the fecies of our species.

If you have a brain in your head you will leave this one alone!
  History of a significant approach to political matters ( dalebrethower )
The book is clearly written and summarized by the title. Alinsky, the doyen of Chicago style community organizers, argues that whether the ends justify the means is to be decided by the immediate circumstances. He provides several examples where he answers "Yes" to the question of whether the ends justify the means, showing how means some might consider "bad" served "good" ends. An interesting read whether or not you believe the tactics of recent and current Chicago style community organizers are consistent with Alinsky's guidance.
