But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” – A Pillar of Iron by Taylor Caldwell

Alinsky’s radical rhetoric and tactics are published in his Reveille for Radicals and his Rules for Radicals. Examples of Alinsky’s radical rhetoric include ……
