Useful to who?: our enemies. Charen has a unique way of making her point, and she does it with an intellectual wit. The book contains a litany of names: people who never seem to admit when they are wrong!; and with willing ignorance, are set out to rewrite history. And I think you all know who they might be. This is the phenomenon of liberal thought after W.W.II. Of course it does depend on who is in the white house..... doesn't it.

"I liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel"--------------Robert Frost

This mind-set (blaming America for the worlds ills) really started during the cold war, and so it continues, at an almost exponential rate. Charen begins with a brief history before the cold war. These men and woman have trivialized the Cold War and Russian communism; they utterly neglected the killings in Cambodia after Vietnam and sympathized for the enemy; they underestimated and looked the other way concerning Russian intervention........until Reagan. Reagan's (Bush parallel?) strength trumped Carter's passivity, ending the cold war. Vietnam brought in media bias, thus turning a blind eye to Russia. This is the rise of liberalism we know today.

How many times do we have to keep exposing the fiction and myth-making by the media, hollywood, and the liberal leaders on the same subject?

Did not Bill Clinton take our military into more conflicts than any other President? Wasn't this all but ignored? Mussolini made the trains run on time, right?

History has proved the liberals wrong, why should it be any different now? People desperately trying to escape oppressive countries understand the goodness the U.S. stands for, even more than our own people.

Wish you well

great book for smart people, useless for trying to win over idiots

This is a book that puts together all the silliness of the Left. Especially enraging is how they 'blame America first' for all the troubles in the world. Most of the 'Useful Idiots' (a term Vladimir Lenin gave a hundred year ago for the same type of people!) portrayed in this book, Rich, Famous and self-absorbed!
You will never be able to show such people they are idiots, useful or otherwise. Talking to them would just give you a headache. But, talking to those who believe these people to be the 'Elite', will be more rewarding ( how smart can these people be if they are looking up to idiots?).

Still a good book, and enjoyable read, one that will make you mad, from time to time.

Required reading for high school and college political science classes

Charen, a conservative columnist, concisely recaps the twisted view of history the American liberals ("useful idiots" in advancing communist ideas) have held from the 1930s to the end of the Cold War and even through the American political response after September 11.

This book makes it clear how important it is to understand the facts of history: communism is an unmitigated economic, political, and cultural disaster, the Soviet Union really was an Evil Empire, and Ronald Reagan was right in both ideology and action.

Should be required reading for high school and college political science classes.

This book is a perfect example of how today's liberals have completley rewritten history to cover up their own role on the wrong side of the Cold War.
