Product Description
In Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, Goldberg speaks for the millions of Americans who are saying: Enough! Enough of lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christianity" is "as big a threat to America as Radical Islam." Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Hitler and Abu Ghraib to a Saddam Hussein torture chamber. And please, enough of the military-hating crazies who run San Francisco! But Goldberg has also had it with hypocritical Republicans who say they're for small government but then spend our hard-earned tax money like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store. He's also had it with weak and timid Republicans who won't stand up and fight against racial preferences, too afraid that the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world will call them bigots. In plain English, he's had it with Republicans who are afraid to be conservative! The 2006 election was a wake-up call, he warns, and if the wimps on the Right fail to regain their courage, recover their principles, and reclaim their sense of fiscal responsibility, the crazies on the Left just might win the White House in 2008.

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.

Benard is a great reporter but should stick to the news and quit trying to analyse politics He hasn't a clue and comes out with the wrong opinion every time.BIAS was a good book he has not written anything near it in years. The book is a waste of money.
