I'm too lazy to read anything but the post, so apologies if someone else has pointed this out.
Over and over the howler monkeys screech that Alinsky dedicated his book to Satan, and I had never thought much about it until blogging about this very issue today. (Wonkette will be relieved that we came to the same conclusions.)
But as I scanned the online version, it came to my retired librarian brain that the Alinsky passage is not a dedication. It is, as Vox points out, an epigraph, that is, a quote that encapsulates or underscores the main ideas of the text. Alinsky dedicated his book to his wife and some of his literary/publishing team on the dedication page, before the epigraph page.
So, Alinsky also mic-checked Thomas Paine? The same Thomas Paine whose works were, IIRC, recently re-"written" by Glenn Beck? So, is Old Nick wiping the ubiquitous tears from Beck's eyes?
I think it's high time we all started to give a fuck about this Alinsky fellow.
I have my suitcase under the bed, as they say. Must renew passport.....

If it were at all possible to vote for Hillary harder than I already plan to do, the idea that she was a closet Satanist would make me do so.
Only an old-fashioned fiddling contest can fix this.
