On Principles & Values: 1971: Rules for Radicals dedicated to first radical, Lucifer

One morning I heard a local radio talk-show host make an amazing claim: that Alinsky's 1971 classic 'Rules for Radicals' began with a dedication to Satan. Oh, I can't believe that, I said. I was angry at the host. This kind of hyperbole gives conservative talk-radio a bad name!

I quickly emailed one of the staffers at our library at Grove City College. Did we have a copy of 'Rules for Radicals' on our shelves? We sure did. Please pull it, I said. I'll be right there.

I opened the book and couldn't believe my eyes. Alinsky offered this acknowledgment: "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history, the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom--Lucifer."

Just because Hillary admires greatly Saul Alinsky, who dedicated his seminal work to Lucifer, doesn't mean, of course, she lights votive candles to Satan.
