Veers away from the truth on page one.

Author has a point to make and cherry-picks history to make it. He makes gigantic leaps in logic to "verify" his conclusions. "Hitler drank water and used a clean glass each time. Anyone else who drinks out of a clean glass must be a fascist!!!" Choosing things that are stereotypical of your enemy, then looking for those specific things in the Fascist movement, isn't valid research. That would be like saying "Nazi fascists ate food and breathed air, so if you eat food and breathe air, then you are a Nazi Fascist!" This is the logic that Goldberg uses throughout the book. Thought it would be a good read--to see another author sock it to the libtards. But the more pages I read, the more disappointed I became that a publisher actually printed this drivel. I did read the whole thing to see if anything truths would be revealed. I would have been better off to drop it in the trash can after the first chapter.
