FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (February 17, 2010) – The Coral Ridge Hour reports Sun. Feb. 21, that the methods of Leftist agitator Saul Alinsky are being used by the current White House administration.

Alinsky, a community organizer from Chicago, set down his principles of social persuasion in his book, Rules For Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, which he dedicated to Lucifer, "the first radical."
"President Barack Hussein Obama studied Saul Alinsky and taught about him for several years at the Saul Alinsky Institute," said Brannon Howse, an author and expert on Alinsky.
"Change," the word used in President Obama's election campaign slogan, is found frequently in the Alinsky book.
"By change, Saul Alinsky means a revolution," Howse said. "Alinsky said we need to have a Socialist, Communist revolution. We need to do away with private property, free enterprise, free market, capitalism. But we do it over time, by penetrating every institution and changing their worldview."
And, if opposition arises, the eleventh rule in Alinsky's primer for radicals calls on them to "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it . . .," a common practice of the current administration.
"You see that happening today where the [Obama] administration is going after people that disagree with them," Howse said. "You have the former Transportation Security Administration nominee . . . saying that the big threat to America is people who are anti-abortion and anti-government." In other words, "people who are pro-life and who are conservative and are not for big government" pose the greatest threat to America.
Alinsky also calls for radicals to defend their agenda by ridiculing the opposition.
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule," Alinsky writes. "Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"Who did they use this tactic against? Well, Sarah Palin," author and national speaker William J. Federer said on the broadcast. "Here she is immensely popular, probably one of the most popular modern political figures, and they have taken this attitude of singling out and trying to ridicule her."
In his book, Radical Rulers: The White House Elites Who are Pushing America Toward Socialism, Robert Knight, Coral Ridge Ministries' Washington, D.C., correspondent, writes that Alinsky's primer "is all about using deception, manipulation, and raw power to bring about a communist future."
"It is amazing to think that such an influential book as Rules for Radicals has gone on to shape the thinking and values of some of the key players in our government today," Knight said.
Knight's explosive new book, Radical Rulers, is available at www.radicalrulers.org.

Kudos - just wish you were going to bring your seminar to the Detroit area. I think people would have a greater understanding on why they should stand up to the politics that are being forced on the American people - it is quite troubling on what is happening to our wonderful country - this coming from an ex-Veteran, post Korea.

Tyranny of the masses

All this (especially ridicule rather than debate) reminds me of many significant references; not the least of which is in John 3:20 where we are told that those who do evil fear the light because it will expose the true, and evil, nature of their deeds. There is also a reference in the concluding pages of the Alcoholics Anonymous Basic Text about contempt prior to investigation and how it cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. This from AA who came about when medical people tried psychiatry on alcoholics with very limited success until AA brought God into recovery and stressed the need for the alcoholic to do his/her share of the work and succeeded in so many cases which medical professionals had deemed hopeless.
So, we have a government inspired by an "activist" who advises not dispute another's logic but, to ridicule it, as if they fear the facts. As if they fear the light. Ridicule is not only powerful - it is easy; too easy too quick. As if I could go into an art gallery with a knife and prove that I am a more talented painter than the grand masters by slashing their paintings in a fraction of the time it took these masters to create them. God gave us healthy rules on how to accept His Holy Spirit and, by following his rules (such as the Ten Commandmentments and to live in the light rather than the darkness) to grow to be healthy not just in body and in mind, but also in spirit. And then comes along the answer of those who fear the light; ridicule rather than dispute. To claim that something is stupid rather than admit that they don't understand it.

I am an old person and will not live to see the worst if the Lord taries, but I wonder why people are so easily deceived. Is this a part of God's end time plans or can we change anything just talking about it. The news media is not reporting the truth about Obama and people tend to believe what the main stream media report. We have raised up a generation that I do not recognize and although I put my trust and faith in the Lord I don't think many do. Maybe they do not know Him. If they did Obama would not be in the White House. The Church has more of the world in it than the world has of the church in it. Obama plays to the poor and middle class because there are more of them and they have blinders on. What can we do? All the talking some of you are doing does not seem to be working.You sell lots of books but that does not stoping Obama and the radicals around him. By the time his 4 years is up there will not be an America we recognize. May God have mercy on your children and grandchildren. No one seems to be concerned past what is happening to their own lives. Life is short at best and I hope someone has a plan to right the wrong being done before it can't be righted. Not physically but leagally. I have been reading report after report for a year now about Obama and his agenda. Why did no one report his radical agenda as much before the election as now? Is the horse already out of the barn? I agree with the statements in your article and I knew before the election that there was something rotten in Denmark. He made remarks in his speeches that clearly gave him away and any Christian should have know that some of his positions were not ones they should have endorsed and yet many voted for him anyway. Why?

Aren't the ones calling for a "revolution" now standing in contempt of the United States Constitution and the "spirit" of the Delcaration of Independence? It appears we presently have domestic enemies. Please don't let them shred our Constitution! Our Founders surely did not fight in vain to establish this great country!

I hope Coral Ridge exposes "Organize for America" or at least mentions its methods, its agenda, and its promotion of Rules for Radicals. Even the Nea now has it on their Recommended reading list.
Come on folks, start finding out who is on your local school board and what their world views are. We have to care more about them than Duncan and Jennings.
Pray for Christian teachers and administrators in the public education arena. They need to know we are encouraging them to fight the good fight. Check into Tony Evans' ministry called Adopt a Public School.
