Ranting of GrumpyOldGuy: Review of: "DEMONIC: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America" by Ann Coulter.

http://rantingsofgrumpyoldguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-of-demonic-how-liberal-mob-is.html
If Ms. Coulter had chosen to present a balanced description and
analysis of mass psychology and mob mentality in American political
life in history and today, and the very real danger it presents to
civil society and meaningful democracy, then this might indeed have
been a worthwhile read. However, her demonic obsession with turning
this discussion into a one-sided political harangue makes this book
into exactly what she accuses "liberals" of - an effort to incite
marginally informed masses into a mob movement against any thought or
action which does not conform to her rather myopic view of "correct"
political views. With this book Ms. Coulter has become exactly what
she decries - the Joseph Goebbels of the extreme right-wing.
