Default Suggested Reading for all resident Liberal Fascists

Hey dumb ass!
Read the comments by people who actually know how to read and actually
read the book.


Of course like you and all idiotic Liberal Fascists, using your own
brain to read and come to your own conclusions is out of the question.



Austin W. Bramwell wrote in The American Conservative: "Not only does
Goldberg misunderstand liberalism, but he refuses to see it simply as
liberalism... Liberal Fascism reads less like an extended argument
than as a catalogue of conservative intellectual clichés, often
irrelevant to the supposed point of the book."[17]

In The Nation, Eric Alterman complained that Goldberg's grouping of
left-wing politics with fascism is based on weak, tenuous
associations: "Some fascists were vegetarians; some liberals are
vegetarians; ergo... Some fascists were gay; some liberals are gay...
Fascists cared about educating children; Hillary Clinton cares about
educating children. Aha! . . . This is a book that argues that Woodrow
Wilson 'was the twentieth century's first fascist dictator' and that
it is 'impossible to deny that the New Deal was objectively
fascistic.'"[18]

Blogger and journalist David Neiwert, writing in The American
Prospect, called the book "bizarro history" and "classic Newspeak." He
wrote: "The title alone is enough to indicate its thoroughgoing
incoherence: Of all the things we know about fascism and the traits
that comprise it, one of the few things that historians will readily
agree upon is its overwhelming anti-liberalism."[19]

David Oshinsky of The New York Times wrote: "Liberal Fascism is less
an exposé of left-wing hypocrisy than a chance to exact political
revenge. Yet the title of his book aside, what distinguishes Goldberg
from the Sean Hannitys and Michael Savages is a witty intelligence
that deals in ideas as well as insults - no mean feat in the nasty
world of the culture wars."[20]

Michael Tomasky wrote in The New Republic, "...I can report with a
clear conscience that Liberal Fascism is one of the most tedious and
inane--and ultimately self-negating--books that I have ever read. ...
Liberal Fascism is a document of a deeply frivolous culture, or sub-
culture."[21]


Dude, Lockheed called. They wanted me to ask you to get back to work.
