This book is scarier than anything Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Richard Matheson combined could come up with.
I'm downright horrified. When I started this, I worried that, during the Bush administration, I became a bit of a Wingnut. I shuddered to think I was anything like the people (both liberal and conservative) showcased in these pages.
I'm 98.5% certain I was NEVER this bad.
I believe in freedom of speech. I believe people should express their political beliefs often and loudly. But I don't believe you should be abusive, and I don't believe you should attack people without having strong facts to back you up. So I'm pretty sure I'm not a Wingnut. Pretty sure. ::shifty::
This is a very well written book. Political books tend to confuse me quiet a bit, as I'm slow on the uptake when it comes to hardcore politics. This spoke in a way that kept me from going, "Hunh?" over and over again.
I'm liberal. Maybe if I was conservative, I wouldn't care for this book. And I wish there was a review from a GR conservative, so I could see their opinion on it. This book doesn't strike me as being too one-sided, but what do I know? I think Sarah Palin is a moose-killing dumbass.

It's too bad these aren't the lunatic fringe anymore. They are paid big money to stir up the pot and spread hate. Excellent book.

Fairly readable. As a self-declared moderate I wanted to see more. But it would certainly seem hard to be current on extremism as well as historical. I doubt that very many people I know would believe the majority of the stuff in this book. But then again I consider what I believed possible in the George W. Bush administration and it explains a lot of the 'not sure'. As an agnostic it is hard for me not to find it somewhat reasonable for someone to say not proven to just about anything. Hopefully there are better books than this out there, but I definitely would think it a good thing if more people read this one.

Really good book on how both ends of the political spectrum are paralyzing our ability to govern this nation. Unfortunately, those that get caught up on the emotinal rhetoric do not realize that they are being manipulated by the talking heads for financial gain. Quick read.
