 Pretty good, but not very deep May 29, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book had one point throughout, which could have been made in one chapter. But that one point is pretty good.
Journeyman effort by Greenwald May 27, 2008

I'll preface this by saying Glenns blog is a daily stop for me. And that may be the problem. The book is well written, the information is well presented and documented and useful. But if you spend as much time as I do on the internet, there were few surprises. If you don't waste a large portion of your spare time reading about the nasty goopers like I do, this book will bring you up to speed in a most entertaining way. But while I enjoyed it because Greenwald is such a good writer, it covered little new ground for me.
 Another great effort by Greenwald May 24, 2008

Great work as usual. Greenwald tears into the hypocrisy in politics, names names and sites enough examples to convince anyone.
Wow, we all are in GG's debt for this book. May 17, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book as well as the ongoing work GG does exemplifies so much of what is best with today's progressive writing. There is a quest for truth and a foundational authenticity that is missing in too much of America today, especially the windbags deflated by Great American Hypocrites. Newcomers might notice the "screaming lib" surface but mustn't miss the underlying authentic progress of GG's ideas and his accuracy. His blog has dealt wonderfully with horrible realities of today such as warrantless wiretaps and DoD-coordinated domestic propaganda. But here GG paints the main issue most critical to 2008's upcoming election -- the need to puncture the overinflated girth of GOP false-manliness. In this book we see how the air got put in and how our choices going ahead should not be based on false Daddy-myths that have been aggrandized without the civic virtues to back up their big reputation. Go GG!
Required Reading May 11, 2008

With meticulous research, shrewd analysis, and biting commentary, "Great American Hypocrites" paints a painfully accurate portrait of the contrivances, fictions, and euphemistic doublespeak which have defined the Republican Party since the 1960s. It should be required reading for anyone heading to the polls this November.
