100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: (and Al Franken Is #37)

Oh my. It doesn't deserve any stars.

This is just bad, bad, bad. It reads like the ravings of a bitter, envious man. My biggest problem though is there are neither footnotes nor end notes. If a writer is honest, he cites his resources for what he writes.

Buy This Book

THis is an excellent book. It is thought provoking which is what a book should be.

Fun, fun, fun (For conservatives, that is)

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is just plain fun. It's a hilarious book that takes 100 rather crazy people, most of whom are liberals, and explains just what their "crime" against America was. If you are looking to read this I must warn those with liberal views to steer clear of Goldberg's book. You probably want to try 101 People Who Are Really Screwing America(And Bernard Goldberg is Only #73) by Jack Huberman. This was written in response to Goldberg's book, and though I haven't read it, I've looked at the table of contents and you'll probably be delighted to find men and women such as Bill O'Reilly, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes and Fox New, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and George W. Bush. That should suit your tastes. While one's views on the quality of those on the list might vary along with your political views, it must be noted that Goldberg's Introduction is far superior to Huberman's (While, again, you might hate what he writes in it for his dislike for liberals). While Huberman's seems to only serve as a rant about how Goldberg got it wrong in his book, Goldberg himself writes about what it is he dislikes about liberals.

Finally!

A great book. The truth in a humerous way and finally someone that is not politically correct.

too funny!

the use of humor is wonderful, but that doesn't cloud the heart of the message. a great read for anyone who can handle a candid opinion.

Love when people tell it like it is.

Right on the mark in most cases. Intelligent people can see clearly with a little chuckle along the way. However, it is very sad that our children have these bozo's to look up to. What ever happend to society, most of these folks are to blame. Time for America to clean up it's act, and stop talking dirty. I loved this book, its just what I thought everytime one of these 110 people are in the news.

110? That's just the basic list...there are so many more!!

I kept seeing Bernie on Fox News as a commentator and decided to check out his book. Needless to say, his book is an open commentary on the great divide separating many Americans today (religious vs. atheist, life versus death, Democrat vs. Republican, church versus state, conservative vs. liberal, pro-abortion vs. pro-life and so on). Anyone who says there is no divide is clueless and should just move on - don't bother reading it - you won't get it. If you are not on the list, chances are you should be! I enjoyed reading '110 People Who Are Screwing Up America' and like millions of others, chuckled in some parts, shook my head in agreement in others and simply felt relieved to know that the divide is real. Many major media outlets, teachers, professors in college settings, hollywood elitists and others pretend the only issue is 'everyone else'. Thank goodness for people like Bernie and their ability speak out against this crowd. Our voice may not be as loud or shrill as the other side but, we are here and we will fight the good fight to make America the kind of country we all deserve it to be. Anything less is a crime against our forefathers and our military men and women who have fought/continue to fight so hard for a glorious and free America. I enjoyed reading the list of offense hollywood actors/actresses, singers, teachers/professors, politicians, writers, directors, business people, religious or otherwise who have lost their mind and clearly their heart and soul somewhere along the way (although they would argue the science of even having a mind, heart or soul but, that's another book...). Keep up the good work Bernie...keep adding to the list and we'll keep reading. You have done a fine job of identifying the nut jobs in our midst from sea to shining sea. Four stars and then some!

Not Bad

If I were to rate this book on whether or not I agreed with his choices it would of been 5 stars. Benard Goldberg said no 2 people would agree on who the 100 people they would put into the list, however I would have 95% of the people he put in there. The other 5% I never heard of. It is not a great piece of literature, but very entertaining and the perfect book to read on a long plane ride. It does list why people are listed, and despite its large number of left wing hacks listed in the book, it is also filled with people on the right, and ever more so, alot of people not even involved in politics. It is a great list of people who have taken American culture backwards. I would like to see Bernard Goldberg make a book called 100 people who are NOT screwing up America, it is time to read something positive for a change, but who am I fooling, negativity sells.

One scary book!

Though the author exhibits a great sense of humor, this book should scare any reasonable American. This is a glimpse at 110 people, some who are idolized by our culture, that are threatening the future of this nation.

AMAZING

Truth on all the disgusting liberals. Proves how idiotic they are and shows how they truly 'screw' up America.

Intellectual pretense

The author wants to impress the reader with his implied sophistication. This tome looks like it came out of the Dartmouth Review. Except that the publishers of that rag have a good excuse--they really are puerile.

Oh, bore

This is a sad rant that plays to our simplest and most base emotions. He uses fear, waves the flag, and tries to degrade a list a people, may of whom are making great sacrifices for the rest of us.

Everyone is pathetic

Just reading this thread of reviews actually displays what is wrong with America. America is being held hostage by the minority of both RIGHT & LEFT extremists. You read these reviews and you see hardlined opinions on each side. It is either a 5 star review or a 1 star (none if they had their choice) review. What people do not realize is that a majority of America lies in the middle. However, the majority of the big news is made by this minority. Would George Bush have been elected again if his opponent wasn't John Kerry? People complain about Bush as president, but the alternative was not any better. One might say that the past 6 or 7 years have been dominated by extremist opinion that does not actually represent the people. The 2000 and 2004 elections were both, forgive the expression, a choice of the lesser of two evils rather than a choice of who was believed to have the best ability to successfully lead the country. More Americans need to look beyond the media coverage of extremist nuts to realize that in the middle of both is where the majority lies. The only way America can survive such deep seated inner strife and continued foreign pressure, is by recognizing this middle ground of basic American beliefs and values. From there, and only from there, can we prevent ourselves from tearing this great country apart.

Nonsense

The majority of people on the list are just cultural icons, how about people who actually screwing up America like the massive coperartions, poloticians and other people with power who actually destroy lives.

Great

What a fascinating book! The only people whose 'antics' threw me for a loop were Susan Serandon and Tim Robbins who supposedly named their child after a murderer!

This book does not deserve even one star

Lopsided, right leaning, angry rhetoric. Not worth the time to read it, much less the money to buy it. The arguments would not hold up to even the lightest scrutiny. Reeks of ignorance, hatred and extremism. Save your money.

Finally someone not scared to be politically incorrect

I absolutely love this book for several reasons. First and foremost, it tells the truth about almost every aspect of American culture today that we, as Americans, are too proud and ignorant to acknowledge. If you have a problem with rap music degrading women and the English language, you will love this book. If you have a problem with people using their 'disabilities,' such as being black, poor, or non-english-speaking to manipulate the system and blame white people, then you will love this book. If you believe the media is liberal-biased and the majority of lawyers pride themselves on profiting from frivilous tort claims, then you will love this book. Otherwise, don't bother reading it because it is completely politically incorrect and will most likely offend you. Another great thing about this book is that you do not necessarily have to read it from from cover to cover, you can pick and choose which 'chapter' you want to read and it will not mess up the succession of the book. Lastly, I love this book because it is very blunt. The author doesn't try to avoid potentially hurting anyone's feelings and tells everything like it is.

This book was OUTSTANDING!

Much like many other people I have this discussed this book with, Al Franken needs to be higher on the list.

Lifelong liberal exposes enemy from within his own ranks

Bernie proves that not all liberals will be silent forever. He is exposing some of the most dangerous people in America today, most of whom, but not all, are notorious liberals. If you can't handle truth, don't read it.

Goldberg exposes the hypocrites!

Mr. Goldberg offers a concise, and often quite humorous, explanation of the hypocrites on the far liberal left. He calls it like he sees it, and whether you agree or disagree, it is well worth reading.
