Dummy. You heard he dedicated Rules for Radicals to Lucifer and being a Satanist you decided to buy the book. But you screwed up and bought the wrong book, Reveille for Radicals, instead. I'll bet you got disgusted when you didn't find the Lucifer dedication. Thumbed threw it looking for something dirty and put it down.

Michelle Obama quoting from the introduction of Rules for Radicals: "What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away." Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals "Barack stood up that day," talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, "and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about "The world as it is" and "The world as it should be..." Michelle Obama speaking to the Democratic National Convention ------------------------------- "'The organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems,' and 'organizations must be based on many issues.' The organizer 'must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.'" Saul Alinsky. Clearly Obama was a student. --------------------------------------- Here is the dedication you liked when you first heard it. Again, it's from Rules for Radicals, not Reveille for Radicals: “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.” -------------------------------------------------------- More stuff on Alinsky: crossroad.to Alinsky is a Gramscian, as is Obama: Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes. Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalins's wrath by suggesting that Lenin's revolutionary plan wouldn't work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish.
