Association with subversive organizations
The Black Panther movement in the 1960s made it hard for Alinsky to organize the black populace; they had a difficult time dealing with white leadership. He finally settled with organizing middle-class white Americans to protest against the deterioration of the suburban markets.

==Association with subversive organizations==
The [[CPUSA]] newspaper, the ''[[Daily Worker]]'' named Alinsky as one of the sponsors of a dinner for Pearl Hart, a notorious [[communist front]]er, arranged by the [[Midwest Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born]]. Alinsky was identified in the ''Daily Worker'' as chairman of the Public Housing Association of Chicago Illinois. The [[American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born]], with which the Midwest Committee was affiliate was cited by the President [[Harry S. Truman]]'s Attorney General [[Thomas Clark]] as [[subversive]] and [[Communist]]. It was also cited by the Special [[Committee on Un-American Activities]] as one of the oldest auxillaries of the [[Communist Party of the United States]].<ref>[http://www.usasurvival.org/docs/Scope_of_Soviet_Activity.pdf Reports of the Commission on Subversive Activities of the Territory of Hawaii], pp.3-4 pdf.</ref>

Many right-wing talk radio hosts, such as [[Rush Limbaugh]], [[Sean Hannity]], and Michael Savage, attribute many of the strategies of the [[Democratic Party]] to Alinsky's ''Rules For Radicals''. [[Hillary Clinton]]'s senior honors thesis was an analysis of the works of Saul Alinsky and the effect that they have on politics today. [[Barack Obama]] can also trace his roots to the teachings of Saul Alinsky.<ref>[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10305695 NPR, ''Democrats and the Legacy of Activist Saul Alinsky'' (audio file)]</ref> Obama had a passion for Alinsky's work. Before he left Harvard, Barack wrote "After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois." Under the tutelage of an Alinsky admirer John L. McKnight, Obama says he got the "best education I ever had, better than anything I got at Harvard Law School." <ref>[http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&PageId=76170 Guess who recommended Obama to enter Harvard] Worldnetdaily, September 24, 2008</ref>
