I spotted this guy's book at Barnes and Noble last week on the "New Releases" table. Then I saw it there again yesterday. It looked like the same pile, like nobody had disturbed it.

Anyways, I picked it up and perused it and got bored pretty quickly. Nothing but straw-man arguments and flawed circular "logic". The book is garbage, and a very weak response to the well-documented, impeccable arguments made by the much more gifted writers Bernard Goldberg and Ann Coulter.

This guy Alterman comes from the same liberal germ culture as Joe Conason, Eleanor Clift and Molly Ivins, etc. He's just a bitter, humorless, thoroughly irrelevant little mouse. Take it from me, the book will be in the $4.95 bin in a few weeks. Even then, don't waste your money.

Regards,
LH

You're right. From the way he talked, it sounded like his book was just a hastily thrown-together attempt to answer Goldberg and Coulter. Strangely enough, he claims neither of those books have anything but unsourced accusations, which anyone who has read them knows is a HUGE lie.

Someone from the left building a staw man and then cutting him down!! Heavens, I never thought it would stoop that low. Props to you for saving me the time and effort to lift that weighty tome off the display table at B&N.
