Blinded by the Right #1

This is a fascinating story of one man's career as a right wing "hit man." This is how bare knuckles politics works behind the scenes. Both parties do it so don't feel superior!

My top rule of political conflict is "never lie." Make the best case you can FOR your side and make the best case you can AGAINST the other side, but NEVER LIE!

People who lie are dishonest - morally corrupt. People who lie in intellectual debate are out of ideas - unworthy of respect. People who lie in political debate are interfering with the ability of citizens to make good choices, undermining Democracy itself - traitors to fundamental American beliefs.

There is nothing wrong with making your case and making it HARD but don't cross the line into flat-out lying! Present FACTS and LINK to supporting evidence.

Anyway, here is how Brock starts: "This is a terrible book. It is about lies told and reputations ruined. It is about what the conservative movement did, and what I did, as we plotted in the shadows, disregarded the law, and abused power to win even greater power."
