Blinded by the Right was a book that was hard to put down for a moderate/liberal devotee of fair play and and at least some degree of honesty in government and the fourth estate. It is ludicrous to attack Brock, as some have, for being unbelievable now since he has admitted to lying in the past. Blinded by the Right reads like the truth, a truth Brock has no credible reason for coloring. Independent thinkers who are not affiliated with movements or political parties should find the facts in the book highly illuminating and if they are serious about casting responsible votes, they will take a long hard look at the "brain trust" in the current administration and the forces and events that allowed that "trust" and its agenda to be placed in control of the free world.

David Brock exposes what we have all known for a long time: there is a "vast right-wing conspiracy" and it is operated by a nutty clique of zealous hypocrites. Does Brock provide evidence of his claims and does Brock back up his charges? YES. Full of first-hand accounts, detailed descriptions, and thoughtful opinions, Brock's book is as enjoyable as it is informative. It is a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth by looking beneath the surface of the hateful spin spewed by the ultra-right.The many reviews by right-wingers on this site is evidence that Brock's former collegues have succeeded with their tiresome propagandist attacks. My guess is that most have not even bothered to read Brock's book, for if they had they would be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed by those they adore.

"Blinded by the Right" is essential reading for liberals who wish to understand how the conservative political machine functions and thrives. I also recommend it for any Republican naive enough to think that his or her party really stands for integrity and morality. Brock reveals how he and other journalists became trained character assassins, taking out any and all who stood in the way of complete right-wing dominance. He chronicles the bitter hatred that many extreme conservatives feel for those unlike them (moderate Republicans as well as Democrats), describes and their smug feelings of "legitimacy" that drove them to wage (and lose) an unconditional war against the Clintons. Probably most interesting is Brock's own realization of how he had betrayed his own identity in working for a movement that hates homosexuals. "A Jew in Hitler's army" is how he describes being a gay man in the right-wing hate machine. Worthwhile reading regardless of your ideology.

... Not only does this book lack in any good reason for being Liberal it is poorly written, boring and sometimes hard to understand who this person is talking about. I'd pass on this book if given another chance....

Saying that the impeachment was just about a sexuel liason tells the whole story of the book and as a phrase a friend of mine once coined, The author "located himself." Bill Clinton was sued for sexual harrassment, a case in which he lost costing him a fine of $750,000.00 During the course of the prosecution Bill Clinton lied under oath some 3 different times. As a result of his perjury and the facts uncovered by investigators into the hidden life of Bill Clinton, he was impeached. Perhaps some of you remember many in Congress, Democrats along with Republicans, who stated that if the Senators would read some of the depositions held as evidence over in the Ford Building it would change their minds on whether to continue with the impeachment. Neither of the parties that were Senators bothered to look at that evidence as did both parties in congress...

If there is one constant in American life today, it is that the liberal "thought process" is so verily based in lies, half-truths, and spin, all for the goal of advancing a political agenda that pays only lip service to the idea of freedom, while working to advance a more sinister agenda of government control over those who actually make this country work. Liberals believe, directly or indirectly, in the tyranny of the inept. I suggest anyone who reads this garbage from by David Brock, read a more balanced view from Ayn Rand, such as Atlas Shrugged.
