"Advocates of victim disarmament in today's American politics owe their tactics and techniques to a man whose name is becoming more and more familiar: Saul Alinsky."
Thus begins one of Kirby Ferris' articles from 2009, dealing with an analysis of Alinsky's thirteen rules and how they are used by the victim disarmament crowd. The old saw, "know thine enemy", is ably served if you first understand what your enemy has been taught.
Not only is this article still totally apposite for our times and makes for enlightening reading, but it is also a salute to Kirby and his memory following his untimely passing on June 13th. You can find the page here.
