Bloodthirsty Bitches and Pious Pimps of Power: The Rise and Risks of the New Conservative Hate
Gerry Spence
An attorney and author of Give Me Liberty offers a scathing exposé of right-wing media demagogues--Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Nancy Grace, Pat Robertson, and others--and their methods, critiquing such tactics as the use of God's name to justify oppression and ignorance, their use of the bully pulpit, their promotion of a new American hate culture, and more.
Ann Coulter. Laura Ingraham. Nancy Grace. Bill O'Reilly. Sean
Hannity. Pat Robertson.Their faces and voices are ubiquitous: the shrill
shrieks and strident bellowings that drown out all debate and set every
listener on edge, using God's and Jesus's names to justify oppression
and ignorance, and spread falsehoods as if they were facts. They occupy
the bully pulpit of the new American hate culture: the television and
radio programs watched and heard by millions of people that shape the
opinions and set the agendas of churches, school boards, political
action groups, and ultimately those we have elected to represent all of
us.
Gerry Spence takes dead aim at the media demagogues who wield
their power with such virulent effect. Using the full force of his own
rhetorical skill―developed through decades as a legendary defense
attorney―Spence exposes the people behind the words, and carves their
arguments with the rough edge of his tongue. Anyone who has had it up to
here will cheer to see these bullies met and conquered on their own
turf.
