Product Description
Enough of the leftist lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christians" are "as big a threat to America as Radical Muslims." Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Saddam and Mel Gibson to Hitler. Enough of the hyper-partisan, ultra-PC liberal media, which often seem more sympathetic to the "victims of humiliation" at Abu Ghraib than to our troops dying at the hands of Iraqi fundamentalists. Enough, too, of the gutless wonders on the right who don't have the courage to stand up for their own convictions. Enough of their pandering, trolling for votes, and outspending the Democrats. Now with powerful and provocative new material, Bernard Goldberg's Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right sounds an even louder alarm than before—warning that, if the wimps on the right don't regain their courage and reclaim their principles, the crazies on the left just might win the White House in '08.

Respect for the Jews October 24, 2008
I respect the fact that Bernie has come out with a lashing against the more than obvious biased media here in the USA. I feel some sympathy for his treatment as a Jewish member of society (and the fact he endures life in Miami only speaking English). I think that he would have been better off leaving out a lot of what he wrote about the Jewish persecution, I got the point after the first mention. Around 650 AD or so the Jews (and Christians mind you) began being victims of that NUT-CASE Muhammed. So, Jews were not the only ones who were and still are victims. The Islamic Communties here in the USA have an agenda as obvious as Obama's socialistic agenda and they need to be categorized as such, "Not a religious movement but a social and political movement hell-bent on killing everyone other than Arabian speaking Muslims."
Funny and effective October 1, 2008
Libertarian-conservative Bernard Goldberg lets the Left have it in this enjoyable book. The New York Times, Rosie O'Donnell, and other bastions of leftist foolishness are put in their place. I also respect his wilingness to criticize conservatives, asking whether they would have endorsed nation-building in Iraq if Bill Clinton had invaded it instead of Bush. A good question; one which I do not have the answer to. He also attacks creationism, which made me like the book more. I recommend Crazies, especially at the Amazon.com price.
 Wimpiness trumps it all September 27, 2008
"Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right (Kindle edition)"
What got my attention was the discussion of race. He asks: "When did Republicans lose their nerve on race? And why?" According to Shelby Steele: "White guilt does not depend on the goodwill or geniune decency of people. It depends upon their fear of stigmatization, their fear of being called racist." But white guilt doesn't just apply to conservatives nor Republicans, nor does fear as the following quote shows: "There is no subject that journalists fear more than race in America. None." And, "The problem is that reporters tend to be liberal and liberals don't really want to ask "uncomfortable" questions about race, because the entire subject of race makes them uncomfortable. Unless of course it is framed in the usual safe, familiar terms."
Wimpiness on the subject of race is bipartisan. But you have to look hard in this book to see that. It could have been made clearer. Making it seem political just confuses the matter.
 Crazies to the left, and what about the Right? September 25, 2008

For a man who wrote a book called "Bias", This is the most Bias book I have ever read. The entire book is Liberal bashing, calling them racists and bigots. The only thing he utters about Conservatives is that they are to scared to adress racial issues.
I can agree with him that the is lots of liberal bias in the media, and that many of them have turned crazy. but anyone who says he has been a liberal his entire life, then slowly went to the right, goes on to say that Fox news is the only network that does not have a bias, or that Ann Coulter makes sense, or that George Bush hasn't made a mess of things, is clearly Bias! I find it hard to believe this man has spent his career in news!
In the end, I could not put this book down for some stupid reason, and at some spots in this book, he makes decent points... buy it at your own risk.
 Yhrow All the Politicians Out! September 21, 2008

Goldberg is right on .... he shines the light of greedy self interest on both parties. Those of us who think the system is broke, and anything the politicians do to attempt fixing it only make it worse, will love this book.
