Book Reviews of The Political Mind: Why You Can't Understand 21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain
Book Review: Eviscerates neocon lies
Summary: 5 Stars
Lakoff is a genius at deconstructing the lies of neocon spinmeisters like Matthew Drudge and Andrew Sullivan. He carefully analyzes the fake GOP talking points of fear and masculine idolatry. I find it especially fascinating to explore the motivations of someone like Sullivan who literally adored and worshipped the masculinity of Bush/Cheney, but has turned 180deg to a scorned woman. Lakoff explains how the false bravado of the neocon frequently hides a very scared little boy inside (eg closeted Drudge).
