Editorial Reviews
Taped on December 11, 1967. The common aim of all Mr. Alinsky's organizations is to mobilize the poor--mobilize them by whatever means comes to hand (marches, sit-ins)--to demand decent housing conditions or whatever the local need may be. This one is a knock-down, drag-out from start to finish. Alinsky: "I refuse to debate with him [David Riesman], which only came up recently...I made the remark that any time I see any of his stuff, it sort of makes me feel like a grizzled, battle-scarred dog going down the street while way back, say, six blocks back or so, this little whining Pekingese comes out sniffing, yipping, and licking and growling at my leavings. And I'm not going to waste my time turning around." Summary by Firing Line staff.

Both the topic and the audio were difficult for me. As to be expected, the interviewer and ee go round and round with very little middle ground. There are vague allusions to being in the trenches being more Christ-like that the Christians who refuse to go there. I guess that's nothing new. Saul is so quiet at times as to be inaudible. Worth watching if you have an immediate stake in the poor and are willing to do something. Otherwise, quite painful.

It was a good recording of Alinsky and his views. It does not get into the nitty gritty but it does give the viewer an idea of his thoughts. He does try to slip past Buckley but is not quite able to. You can note his marxist aethiest views.

These episodes of Firing Line are a pleasure to watch. Interesting discussions and well debated! Highly recommend watching them, most of the topics are still relevant.

He sounded reasonable
Rules for Radicals author Alinsky actually conversed with Buckley and didn't sound like a demon, but more thoughtful and reasonable. Read more

Alinsky kept his intentions veiled
The video was intriguing. However, Alinsky managed to generally keep his intentions veiled, though Buckley tries to extract admissions and disclosures from Alinsky. Read more

Saul Alinsky before Barack OBama became his starry-eyed supplicant
Mr. Alinsky would be proud of his student, Barack Obama.....he learned the master's approach to redistritution as you gain power over the supposedly "served" electorate.
