A takedown of the GOP’s deceitful propaganda machine from the blogger of Salon’s Unclaimed Territory and the author of the New York Times bestsellers How Would a Patriot Act? and A Tragic Legacy.
Eversince the cowboy image of Ronald Reagan was sold to Americans, the Republican Partyhas used the same John Wayne imagery to support its candidates and take all know how they govern, but the right-wing propaganda machine is very adeptat hijacking debate and marketing their candidates as effectively as the MarlboroMan. For example:
Myth: The Republican nominee is an upstanding, regular guywho shares the values of the common man.
Reality: He divorced his first wife in orderto marry a young multimillionaire heiress whose family then funded his politicalcareer.
Myth: Republicans are strong on defense and will keep us safe.
Reality: They prey on fears, and their endless wars make America far less secure.
Myth: Republicansare the party of fiscal restraint and small, limited government.
Reality: Soaringdeficits, unchecked presidential power, and an increasingly invasive surveillancestate are par for their course.
The first book to dissect the Republican Cult of Personality and leave it openly exposed in its unabashed, shameful depravity, Great American Hypocrites is a deeply necessary call-out to Democrats to attack the GOP with their competitor’s very own weapons.
