This book is written for the ignorant and the gullible. From the first page, Clinton is referred to as "a deep-dyed radical" who believes in "the agenda of the radical left." This is truly nuts. She's further left than the authors, that's true, but then everybody except certain Nazis are further left than the authors. In fact, the Clintons moved the Democratic Party AWAY from the left and toward the center.
Mr. Tyrrell Jr., whose rants have appeared many times in The American Spectator (a radical right-wing magazine), makes much of the fact that Ms. Clinton was a fan of Saul Alinsky. That is hardly a surprise; many thousands of educated young people during the sixties (including myself) found Alinsky's views both eye-opening and correct. His concern that the United States was becoming a corporatist state has been born out in spades, and the executives and directors of major corporations are clearly calling the shots in this country. That 70 or 80 percent of Americans want a particular policy counts for nothing if the Koch brothers and a few other billionaires don't want it.
The kind of liberal/progressive views Clinton espoused in those days were shared by a large part of her generation. Indeed, it was such views that helped make the civil rights movement possible and, finally, brought an end to the disastrous Vietnam war. One could say that having such views simply showed you had a heart.
The authors of this book clearly have no heart, and not much of a brain, either. However, if you want examples of slanted language, conclusions without evidence, and general trash-talking, this is the book for you.
