Alinsky in the family

Instapundit asks:

But I think that Alinsky was an influence on Hillary, too, wasn't he?

Perhaps he should read this psychological blogger named Dr. Helen who illustrates how Sen. Clinton uses Saul Alinsky's principles in scoring political points.

Her responses to questions about gun control indicate that perhaps she has just fallen back on the old tired techniques of Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, on whom she wrote her senior thesis.

In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky opens with a Prologue in which he describes some elementary techniques for those who want to change the world. Communication is key, and one should communicate with the experiences of the audience, and "give full respect to the others value." By telling a story about herself hunting, Clinton has aligned herself with the nearly two-thirds of Americans who say they believe the Constitution guarantees each person the right to own a gun.

They're both from Knoxville, do you figure he knows her or even reads her blog?
