Liberal Fascism
Anyway, I haven't gotten my copy yet so I can't recommended it unequivocally (and I totally didn't have to browbeat Jonah Goldberg into sending me a free one), but I should mention that it will eligible for the New York Times bestseller list in about two weeks and it would be pretty awesome to have the phrase "Liberal Fascism" at the top of that list. The book is doing pretty well on Amazon right now, so keep your fingers crossed. BTW, NR has a blog just for keeping track of reactions to the book. 16 Responses To "Liberal Fascism"
oohhh, that is prime. can someone put that little mustache on a picture of hillary and replace the smiley face on that cover? that would turn the key for the governmental 7th grader, Obama, to share the ticket with God's oak of justice, Fred. #1 - Posted by: mtb23 on January 14, 2008 12:39 PMFGOTD* That's OK Frank, my copy just arived from Amazon. * (First gloat of the day) I heard him being interviewed this morning, and the concept seemed pretty shakey to me. He seemed to be playing fast and loose with the terminology and their application to fascist and classical and modern liberal movements. I'll have to page through it at B&N before deciding whether it is worth the 20 bucks. The interviewer had no real appreciation of the history of modern political movements, so perhaps that was why the interview was sub-par. #3 - Posted by: cadet on January 14, 2008 01:55 PMThe Liberals should try to get the book banned. That will be a great way to show that they aren't Fascists. #4 - Posted by: SeeBS on January 14, 2008 02:07 PMI think that, as a show of protest, they should keep track of anyone who buys that book. If it's only half as good as Treason by Coulter, then it'll be worth a read. Heck, just the reaction the title is getting makes it worth it. #5 - Posted by: AlanABQ on January 14, 2008 02:17 PMFair enough, Cadet, but (just from the introduction), Goldberg defines how he's going to use the terms that get used. He seems to recognize that one of the chief problems here is the lexicon - which is going to be the cause of a lot of misinterpretation, whether his thesis is valid or not. #6 - Posted by: Bod on January 14, 2008 02:24 PMOh please oh please God, let the Canadian "Human Rights Commission" kangaroo "court" system pick up on this! Liberal fascists trying to ban "Liberal Fascism" would be too too perfect. #7 - Posted by: James on January 14, 2008 02:51 PMIsn't "liberal fascism" rather redundant, Frank? Like "dumb liberal", or "insane liberal", or "monkey-faced liberal", I thought "fascist liberal" was already included in the term "liberal" itself. #8 - Posted by: Basilisk on January 14, 2008 02:59 PMI received my copy over the weekend and started reading- worth the money so far. Goldberg gave a decent overview on Dennis Miiler's radio show recently, which was available as part of Miller's podcast selections in iTunes. Go ahead and buy a copy. Worse comes to worse, if you don't like it, throw it at a hippee (it's a hardcover), or slip it under the door at Starbucks and watch them all jump through the windows to escape... #9 - Posted by: McBain on January 14, 2008 03:00 PMthere is an excerpted article in the latest issue of NR and it is excellent. Enough to convince me to buy the book. He makes some excellent points. #10 - Posted by: DixieKraut on January 14, 2008 04:50 PMThe cover is not really a fair characterization... I know a number of liberals that would make Hitler look sane. (or at least have plenty of excuses for his behavior...) #11 - Posted by: Strnj1 on January 14, 2008 07:01 PMDoesn't the cover just about exemplify Leftism? The politicians keep promising everything under the moon, and all their followers see are super happy-happy saviors, saving them from the ebil non-Leftists. The Leftists make themselves to be the ONLY HOPE FOR MANKIND, living off the fear of people. The illusion of hope is the saddest thing in the world. On a happier note, I WANT that cover as a poster. #12 - Posted by: ochagirl on January 14, 2008 07:45 PM"Instead, they've been lashing out with impotent rage, redirecting their anger of their own fascism at Goldberg's book." I saw Jonah's presentation at the Heritage Foundation on CSPAN this weekend and can say that he really makes his case well. I'm looking forward to reading his book. I don't want to spoil the ending.....but liberals are barking moon bats who will want this book banned to prove that they aren't fascists. #14 - Posted by: Robert on January 14, 2008 08:20 PMJust wait for the ad hominem attacks against Goldberg to begin in earnest, especially when that's the only recourse they'll have. Don't be surprised when Jewish slurs suddenly become free & fair speech amongst the left. #15 - Posted by: AlanABQ on January 14, 2008 09:55 PMEnjoy yourselves, because when Hillary is elected you shall all be sent to a regional "facility" and all such books shall be burned... #16 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on January 15, 2008 08:19 AMPost a comment
