Saul Alinsky’s   left-wing power manifesto “Rules for Radicals” is often credited for Barack Obama’s successful 2008 presidential bid.  Now author, investigative journalist and scholar Dr. Jerome Corsi, #1 NY Times Best Selling Author of Obama Nation , looks at Alinsky’s enduring legacy at the self-described mastermind’s influence on the Obama campaign model in this eBook original from Paperless Publishing.

“Saul Alinsky: The Evil Genius Behind Obama,” releasing today, sheds light on the strategies and tactics of the last presidential campaign and turns an eye to the future of the upcoming dogfight for the presidency this Fall.

According to Corsi, a senior correspondent for the conservative website World Net Daily, the Obama campaign lifted techniques right from the Alinsky playbook especially in reference to the manipulation of grass roots and community organization messaging. In fact,William F Buckley once wrote that Alinsky is very close to being an “organizational genius.”

Corsi notes that Alinsky’s methodology teaches the "have nots" how to steal power from the "haves" for material gain through income redistribution. Corsi postulates that theme will be one of the central messages of the Obama re-election campaign.

There are several pundits who have already pointed out during President Obama’s latest State of the Union address, that the president has already planted the seeds of the class warfare-styled division he plans on following during thecampaign. Obama has said as "The rich should pay their fair share of taxes."

“It is pure Alinsky,” Corsi said.  “Alinsky taught ‘community organizers’ how to focus on grievances including hatred of those who succeed in a free enterprise system.  Obama intends to use Alinsky methods to divide the rich and poor, majority whites from minorities, and Latino immigrants from Republican Party candidates in general.”
