Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative

Summary: Amazing insight into the dirty politics of the right
Review: I just finished reading this book . . . I stayed up to 5 a.m. last night finishing the book because it was so riveting. The book provides a great looking into the world of dirty politics via character assassination. During the entire Clinton presidency, right-wing billionaires funded investigations and right-wing publications with attempts to bring down the Clinton presidency. Most of the alleged Clinton scandals we heard about (Whitewater, travelgate, filegate, troopergate, etc.) were figments in the wild imagination of right-wing operatives. Only the Monica Lewinsky affair was real. Only the word 'vast' in Hillary's famous reference to a "vast right-wing conspiracy" was an exagerration.

This book is a must-read for anyone that wishes to understand the American system of scandal-driven politics.
