The Obama Hate Machine: the Lies, Distortions, and Personal Attacks on the President--and Who is Behind Them Unabridged edition

Our nation's president has been targeted by Republicans for a uniquely insidious brand of character assassination.

Obama was born in Kenya; Obama is a Muslim and a terrorist sympathizer; Obama is a Communist who wants to institute death panels: the extent to which these undying lies have taken hold in the American mindset shows just how ruthless, destructive, and all-powerful the right-wing machine--hijacked by extremists in the media and fueled by corporate coffers--has become in America. And no one has inspired such venom as our nation's current president, who has been targeted by Republicans for a uniquely insidious brand of character assassination. In his characteristic on-the-mark arguments sure to appeal to anyone on the Left or in the Center, talk show host and syndicated columnist Bill Press shows how the peculiar nature of Obama-hating subverts issue-driven debate and threatens not only the outcome of the 2012 election but the future of the American democratic system.
