| This countdown of the vast left-wing conspiracy is from the author of BIAS and ARROGANCE, Bernard Goldberg. His selections come from Congress, Hollywood, the airwaves (or cable), journalism, academia, and sometimes everyday life. They include Bill Moyers, Dan Rather, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Barbara Walters, Barbra Streisand, Noam Chomsky (of course), Phil Donahue (of course), and, at number six, Jimmy Carter. Others are perhaps less well known known, like Katha Pollitt and Ted Rall. And the winner--number one on the list--is, of course, Michael Moore. Goldberg also includes a few names who are not what he considers ultra-liberal, like Jimmy Swaggart, David Duke, and Michael Savage. But he draws his list of problematic souls primarily from the left side of the aisle. Goldberg is sometimes downright funny as he explains exactly why he would cast people he sees as smug, PC hypocrites into the various circles of hell. At other times, he is full of serious outrage, elucidating how, individually and as a group, they undermine everything Americans hold dear. |
