White House Attacks, Publisher Counters. (The Roots of Obama’s Rage by author Dinesh D’Souza)
Human Events ^ | Human Events

“What are they so afraid of?”

Buffeted by a series of attacks by White House spokesmen and left-leaning media, conservative publisher Regnery (sister company to HE.com) has decided to come out swinging. Long slated for an October release, Regnery moved up the release date for bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza’s controversial new book, The Roots of Obama’s Rage, to this coming Monday, September 27. The new date will be just in time to respond to the front-page hit piece rumored to be coming in (where else?) the New York Times this weekend.

The White House has been “generous” with its attention – vilifying not only D’Souza, but also Forbes (which ran a preview of the book as the cover story in their September 27 issue) and former speaker Newt Gingrich (who praised the Forbes article), all for having the temerity to suggest that President Obama’s motivation might not be what he claims. After lambasting both the magazine and the Speaker on national TV, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs then called Forbes's Washington bureau chief Brian Wingfield into the White House to read him the riot act.

“The reason the White House is so upset about my argument,” says D’Souza, “is because it finally offers an explanation of what President Obama is doing that makes sense of both his foreign and his domestic policy. Unlike those who describe Obama’s worldview as pro-socialist or racially-motivated, much less those who claim Obama is a secret Muslim or born outside the U.S., my thesis is far more straightforward and much more frightening.”

“Anyone who says this thesis is not backed up by research simply hasn’t bothered to read my book,” continues D’Souza. “My thesis is completely substantiated, often drawing from Obama’s own words and writings, and those of his virulently anti-colonialist father.”

Adds Regnery Publisher Marji Ross, “Frankly, virtually no one has had a chance to read Dinesh’s book yet, since it’s literally days off the press, so why attack something you haven’t even read? I have to wonder what they are so afraid of.”

After the desperate attacks in the past two weeks, we expect the MSM and the White House to be foaming at the mouth when The Roots of Obama’s Rage hits the stores and D’Souza takes to the airwaves Monday to actually defend the book. Stay tuned...

The Roots of Obama’s Rage will be available at bookstores nationwide on Monday, September 27. It is available for pre-order at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com

Is this the NYT hit piece? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/25/business/media/25forbes.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=d'souza&st=cse. Pretty lame.

The new date will be just in time to respond to capitalize on the front-page hit piece rumored to be coming in (where else?) the New York Times this weekend.

There. Fixed it.

The more the 'tards stir up the pot, the more copies will be sold.

This seems a diversion from Woodward’s book which is very damning.

so why attack something you haven’t even read?

It's the same Arizona 1070 knee jerk. They also extol the benefits of legislation they haven't read.

I saw a great bumper sticker today at our Mall....

“I’ll treat YOUR President with the same respect you gave MY president”

Next to that one was one that said “BrOke” with the O being that stupid Obama O.

Its nice to start seeing anti-Obama stickers here, we are getting them more and more, and this is Chicago mind you.

You betcha...and usually the conservative books get rearranged so the cover up all the others (wink)

Actually the gal that stocks the books at local Walmart is a former student of mine. Last time I talked with her she said the conservative books were their number one seller....the heartland’s book store.

The attack might only serve to further publicize the book.
