Goldberg's Liberal Fascism filed under 'Parodies' at Amazon

Jonah Goldberg's new book Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning has provoked controversy and dispute in a variety of media. But at internet commerce giant Amazon.com, Goldberg's critics appear to have advanced a new front in their battle against the book: having it classified as a "parody."

1. sounds about right

I watched him give a talk on C-SPAN, and he was unintentionally hilarious -- and very thirsty.

2. that's rich

he was making the talk-show rounds with that parody . . .

I believe it was Jon Stewart who dealt with it most appropriately - probably the only one who read any of this tripe.

3. Good for them...although Amazon is known for political shenanigans of one sort or the other

Sometimes finding favor on the further sides of the ideological/political spectrum. Plenty of reviews have been singled out, sacked an/or disappeared ... again, with varying intentions. Goldberg's book could be a sardonic parody/accompaniment to John Dean's Conservatives Without Conscience. File it under Projection.

4. That's only because they don't have a section for "Travesties."

5. Hey, that one was pretty good, Perry.

:hi:

Now, how about that "Left Behind" series...
