Ms. Charen's book is about the enormous damage done
by liberal social policies from the 1960s on, but it is
also about the shameless demagoguery unleashed
against those who have dared to oppose the liberal
agenda or reveal its failures. Examples range from
cynical lies about judicial nominees to the biggest big lie
of our time, the claim that black voters were
"disenfranchised" by Republicans in Florida during the
2000 elections.
