Even those of you who who blast my writing must concede that I make more sense than those conservative assbags who populate the New York Times Best Seller List. Of course you won’t – since you’re likely ignoramus sympathizers yourselves – but deep down you know what I’m talking about.
My Boston Phoenix colleague David Bernstein has executed a remarkable round-up featuring the best of the worst right-wing tomes of 2009. Dude smashes all over Malkin, Beck, Coulter, and every other published pundit who deserves to get their brains stabbed with their nose bones.
Don’t just read up because you’re a big fan of East Coast Avengers and their anti-O’Reilly crusade. Take notes so that you can have ammunition when confronted by your intellectually retarded family members who consider Fox News to be a reliable source of information.
In 2009, liberals held firm control of the presidency, the US Senate, and the US House of Representatives. But there was one realm where conservatives dominated: the New York Times bestseller list. That probably isn’t a coincidence. The rise of Barack Obama and a Democratic Congress has given right-wing rabble-rousers something they’ve lacked for eight years: a clear target for blame, anger, and suspicion.
With an economic crisis added to the mix, conditions were ripe for what we’ve seen: a booming “movement-conservative marketplace” (MCM), as I have previously dubbed it, feeding off the adherents of the cobbled-together ideology known as movement conservatism, first promoted by think tanks and advocacy organizations in the 1980s. Today, an audience of perhaps 10 to 20 million people nationwide is eager to spend its time and money on right-wing television, radio, books, newsletters, and interest groups. And candidates, too, as evidenced by the outpouring of millions in support of Congressman Joe “You Lie” Wilson and the New York Conservative Party congressional campaign of Doug Hoffman.
