This book provides an incredibly accurate and detailed account of the modern American right's ugly association with racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, disinformation, and Christian fanaticism born from the propogation of foul hate speech on then-new mediums such as radio and the internet - hate speech which garnered enormous audiences and has had a devastating on American politics and American media (I recently stayed at a cabin with a TV that only tuned in Fox News, which I found myself watching several hours of. It was obvious from this experience that the right still uses some of the tactics from this era to subtly spread hate and disinformation). Although the book can only offer a small glimpse of how the right has partaken in the retardation of American society, it is still incredibly relevant to this day and offers an adequate start for someone trying to understand the right. It is written clearly and supported by a constant stream of detailed evidence (government reports, statistical reports, reports from respected research organizations, opinons from experts, etc) on practically every page of the book. It's an absolutely astounding book which I would recommend to anyone on both sides.  Read Less
