Who Is/Was Saul Alinsky?

Click here for a HuffPo article by Peter Dreier entitled The Right Wing Resurrects Saul Alinsky. By now, many of us know he wrote a book entitled Rules for Radicals, because we have had it drummed into our heads by the likes of Newt Gingrich, Andrew Breitbart, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and especially Glenn Beck. According to them, Alinsky was the Godfather of the Obama administration.

Anyway, Drieier's article is a long one, tracing the career of the Chicago activist "often considered the founder of community organizing" who died in 1972.
