Speaking of shrill

One of the favortite taunts leveled at us liberals normal Americans by the right wing barking crazies is that we're "shrill" and "angry". This while they have Ann Coulter on television all the time.

OK, fine. Here's a useful indicator of contemporary rightist dogma; selected book titles and blurbs from, cough, "works" currently on the market and available at your local bookstore. Mind you, I'm not even including those sublime tomes "Treason" and "Slander", both by you-know-who, Miss Subtlety.

Treachery
How America's Friends and Foes Are Secretly Arming Our Enemies
- by one Bill Gertz, published by mAnn Coulter's imprint; alleges that American allies are arming the tayruhrists to bring us down. Because they hate us.

Liberalism is a mental disorder
- The author, radio gasbag Michael Savage, claims that not being a deluded wingnut is evidence of being not just crazy, but diagnosably mentally ill. Subtle.

The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Women, Sex, and Feminism.
- The beauty is in the blurb: The Latest P.I.G.™: Feminist Lies Finally Revealed!

The Party of Death
- Ahem: "While these same liberal Democrats demand the protection of the rights of criminals, terrorists, animals, and even the trees in the rain forest, they have simultaneously created a subgroup of “human unpersons” with no rights whatsoever. In The Party of Death, Ponnuru reveals just how extreme the Democratic party has become and why their agenda must be exposed—and stopped—if there is any hope of saving our future." In short, republicans may start wars on a lark, but it's the Democrats who really want to kill you.

The Abolition of Marriage: How We Destroy Lasting Love
- "We" meaning the sick society dominated by, of course, liberals.

Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice Department
- Blurb: "In this stunning exposé Limbaugh shows how politics determines who gets hammered with the mailed fists of the federal government and who can operate with complete legal immunity".

America’s Thirty Years War: Who Is Winning?
- “Hungarian-born historian and concert pianist, Balint Vazsonyi, who knows what it means to live under authoritarian regime, makes a powerful case that America is slowly moving towards socialism.” Yes, you see, liberals would let Soviet tanks crush you and your family if we got half the chance.

Betrayal: How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security
- “Gertz tells the alarming story of how the Clinton administration has weakened our military and jeopardized our national security”, quite unlike, of course, the masterful policy currently being implemented.

Countdown to Terror: The Top-Secret Information That Could Prevent the Next Terrorist Attack on America...and How the CIA Has Ignored It
- "Congressman [sic!] Curt Weldon exposes a deeply dysfunctional culture and perverse political agendas in American intelligence that are endangering American security."

As I said: subtle. I think I'll take Al Gore and Howard Dean over these people, thank you very much.
