PRAISE FOR THE POLITICS OF DECEIT "From straight out of the frontline trenches of political warfare, some genuinely original thinking, a few laughs and a glimpse of a better world. Can't ask for more than that." -Molly Ivins, columnist and author, most recently, of Bushwhacked "Glenn Smith goes beyond the hype, with deep, eye-opening insights into the history-making possibilities of online activism. Having run political campaigns the old way, Smith is no starry eyed idealist, yet projects a thoughtful and optimistic vision for democracy in America. The Politics of Deceit is a must-read." -Wes Boyd, cofounder, MoveOn.org "Glenn Smith has documented how a radical conservative minority has achieved political domination in America largely through deceit-carefully crafted, well-funded, systematic deceit. In doing so, they have fragmented American's sense of unity, and weakened our position in the world, our military, our economy, our environment, our health, and our educational system. Worst of all, they threaten our very freedoms. The Politics of Deceit is a call to action, grass-roots political action. It is time to be citizens again." -George Lakoff, Senior Fellow, The Rockridge Institute author, Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think professor, University of California at Berkeley Media > Book, [PU: Wiley]<
