 Appalling January 9, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
No, not the book (which was great) but the stories. It's a tad repetiive but that just reinforces just how "consistentl" duplicitous the leftists in the book are in their endeavors.
Before the left attacks and talks of a few pedophile priests or Rush Limbaugh popping painkillers, remember that conservatives:
a) usually apologize
b) are not harming anyone but themselves and their families and
c) normally take stands on issues of high morality and virtuous principle, which are difficult to maintain in a society where G-d gives us all free will
d) don't lie, fabricate, deny then sue when caught. they also are not afraid to debate and discuss those shortcoming. the left, especially folks like al franken and michael moore, refuse discourse or call names. they are the children they never had....
Schweizer's book, as most who read it noticed, is meticulously researched. He has endnotes to back up all quotes and claims. These stories are totally true, and any google search proves it.
It's lucky the left has fascist-like control of the media and academia or we'd all know that Michael Moore and Barbra Streisand, who claim America is racist, refuse to hire blacks for their films or pay more than $3 per hour to Latinos who work for them. Or that they own stock (and make millions) in the Military Industrial Complex and Halliburton, though they crusade against those entities as evil. Or about their (Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi for example) rapacious anti-environmentalist lifestyles (because they need yachting space or land for a new golf course or hotel) and lack of interest in civil liberties (depsite both being huge into organizations like the Sierra Club and the ACLU).
Or we might know Gloria Steinam, like most militant feminists, loves strong men and "selfishly" has been married. Or we might know that folks who deplore capitalism like anti-americans Noam Chomsky, Ralphie Nader and race-baiter Cornel West, actually make their millions purely off capitalism with their huge investments and off-shore tax shelters...and of course, charge huge amounts for their speeches before they retire to their 98% white twee suburbs in the northeast.
Trust me, this book is great and eye-opening, specifically because the mainstream media is so in bed with the left that they ignore these travesties...and I didn't even have the time to write about the chapter on the Clintonistas.
I am incensed reading every word, but then, with the aid of Schweizer's noteworthy conclusion, I relaxed.
You see, the left-wing elite is just like elites should be. They have their enjoyments and policies. The difference is, these folks somehow feel the insecure need to lie in public about their goals and beliefs, often for votes, sympathy or money.
So what if they like capitalism? That's why they're rich, and why America is great.
So what if they hire the best folks for the job, and a majority are not "minorities"?
So what if they live in the most secluded and wealthiest parts of America?
So what if they won't hire unions for their work? The job will be done better and faster WITHOUT unions.
And so what if they don't want the enviro-whacko policies to interfere with their ambitions and lifestyle?
Again though, the point is, the left NEEDS the votes and sympathy of these people for their own personal gain---so they lie and act as hypocrites, as no one holds them accountable. Must be nice.
They want to live like the conservative Americans they loathe, but don't want to admit it; thus they act a certain way and speak the other. Do as I say not as I do, indeed.

This book is a huge eye opener! It is good information to know especially since the media is so liberal and biased and we don't get to see the bad side of liberals.
 Case Studies in Liberal Hypocrisy November 4, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Author Peter Schweitzer has written a devastating series of case studies in liberal hypocrisy. Many if not most liberal icons - Al Franken, Ted Kennedy, Hillary, etc. - are exposed and skewered due to the incongruity between their public pronouncements and their own lifestyles.
If you view yourself as a conservative, you will likely love this book. Otherwise, there is a good chance that you would not even pick it up.
The only thing missing is a chapter on ("Carbon Footprint") Al Gore and his year-round heated swimming pool. (Maybe in the next edition??)
Dip in and enjoy ... if you dare!
Liberal Reality versus idealistic propoganda October 22, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Currently liberal candidates are pushing single payor health care. However, the Government Accounting Office reports in its budget updates that our budget is unsustainable due to the baby boomer generations aging and the increased demands on Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. As the GAO plainly states- What is unsustainable will not be sustained.
This book peeks behind the curtains of liberals who perpetrate these and other myths which advance their own personal popularity, wealth and interests at the expense of the people who follow their lead. We are exposed to the actuality that liberals like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Ralph Nader and others never show the public. With carefully notated research the author Peter Schweizer shows how these liberals say one thing and do exactly the opposite hence the title "Do As I Say (Not as I Do)"
The book is a fairly quick read and easy to follow. If you are interested in the truth as opposed to fictional propaganda that the media poses as the truth, this book is worth reading. If it is too threatening for you to give up your liberal idealism for a dose of reality then I would skip this one and continue to live in your fantasy world. Personally, I would recommend the truth because probably sooner than later, the chickens will come home to roost and the failure of liberalism will be dismally apparent. If you are open to a wake up call, then read the book. It could save you a lot of future pain.

This is a book that every American should read before they vote the next time. The facts are eye-opening and shocking. While it is non-fiction, it is a rapid read.
