With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year’s presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country. Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element—the “lunatic fringe” of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture. But they haven’t done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again. Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.

" As much as I like and agree with Ms. Huffington, this book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. And she really should have let someone else narrate the audiobook...as charming as her Greek accent can be, it was so distracting in this regard. "
" love how Huffington skewers Buch & co., but no earth-shattering revelations I haven't read in op-ed pieces. "
" This is THE book you need to read to understand what's happened over the past 7 years, and to be best informed about the issues facing us in the upcoming election. Don't miss it! "
" Fairly predictable and well-known rehash of the sins of the lunatic Right and epic fail known as the Bush Administration. "
" I want to throw this book against the wall so much. I started reading this to find out why exactly liberals feel the conservative view point is wrong. But I found myself becoming overwhelmingly angry at the "solutions" that were being presented in the book. "
" Very well written, nice style. Enjoyed the book. "
" i guess i am liberal fuddy-duddy when this book seems like common sense. "
