Dumbing Down Dissent: Fads and Fallacies in Political Discourse

by George Case

Taking on movements from Birthers to Truthers, commentators from Naomi Klein and Noam Chomsky to Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly, and specious reasoning from across the political spectrum, Dumbing Down Dissent is a readable and intelligent meditation to the most widespread misconceptions of public debate and our shared responsibilities to the democratic ideal.
