The reason I gave it the two stars is because it is just ok. It is a collection of essays and other materials. Unfortunately, the people who should be reading, i.e. those who actually need to get a clue about how bad the Republicans have been for the country, those people probably would never pick up this book. So the book becomes an example of preaching to the choir. For me, I had already read a number of the pieces in their original places, or I knew the information already. However, for some readers, this book may prove very informative. It probably should be mandatory reading for more people during this election. ( ) Now, I’m decently liberal, but I tend not to like a lot of what passes for liberal media these days. A lot of it is all about how conservatives and Republicans are evil: how they lie, what kinds of dirty tricks they pull, etc. I don’t disagree with that assessment, but I’d really rather read substantive media. In other words, give me arguments why the policies of the conservatives are wrong and liberals are right. Don’t give me the liberal talking points. I figured this book would be much the kind of liberal stuff that I don’t like. But for less than a buck, it’s fun reading. And one or two of the articles included do touch on substantive issues.

Few have the time or constitution to be able to remember the details of every horror story about how the Republican Party has repeatedly attempted to hijack the American dream for its own selfish reasons. For those who want to be sure they're not left sputtering in an argument they know they should win hands-down, The I Hate Republicans Reader--via a wide range of lively and entertaining essays, articles, speeches, and rants--will be the place to go for the many compelling reasons to detest the GOP. From era-defining scandals such as Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Enron to coldhearted policies on health care, welfare, and race, to their outrageous theft of the 2000 election and tearing down of the liberal democratic ideals for which the Founding Fathers fought, to the isolationist arrogance of George W. Bush, this book has it all. Divided into such easy-reference sections as Greed, Corruption, Malicious Stupidity, and Big Lies, this collection includes appropriate excerpts from the likes of Eric Schlosser, Michael Moore, Joan Didion, Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose, and David Brock, as well as Ralph Nader, Paul Krugman, Hunter S. Thompson, Barbara Ehrenreich, I.F. Stone, Jimmy Carter, James Carville, Christopher Hitchens, Al Franken, and Bill Moyers. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
