No amount of corporate PR can overcome these truths

Russ Bellant has produced an important piece of research that documents the far right ideology and activities of the Coors family -- and how they back them up with big bucks. All this is of historic consequence. This short and densely written book belongs on the booshelf of anyone who aspires to political literacy in America. It should be a standard reference for anyone writing about American politics, government and religion.


The Far Right influence in America

Contrary to what some of the other reviewers assert, this isn't just a book about people who support the Republicans. It's about an interlocking web of Far Right individuals and organisations including Christian Reconstructionists who advocate turning the USA into a theocracy and stoning gays and adulterers to death.

One person quoted in this book, Gary North, says: "The so-called underdeveloped societies are underdeveloped because they are socialist, demonist and cursed. The Bible tells us that the citizens of the Third World ought to feel guilty, to fall on their knees and repent from their Godless, rebellious socialist ways. They should feel guilty because they are guilty, both individually and corporately."

Is this truly a Christian stance? Full marks to Russ Bellant for exposing such Far Right bigotry.

Journalist Russ Bellant examines the influential but little-known role of the Coors beer family in American politics. Through their philanthropic donations, Joseph Coors and other family members have bankrolled a right-wing agenda of union-busting, homophobia, sexism, racism, and covert operations. The Coors family has served as the cornerstone of the right-wing movement known as the New Right.

"The Coors Connection" details the individuals, organizations, and causes supported by Coors philanthropy. A picture emerges of a family's frighteningly narrow vision of the American dream, and its willingness to support extremists who would undermine American democracy.

Russ Bellant is an investigative journalist whose work has appeared in the National Catholic Reporter, the New York Times, the Texas Observer, and other publications. In 1984, he contributed to an award-winning NBC documentary on Lyndon LaRouche. Mr. Bellant was honored in 1989 for investigative reporting by the Catholic Press Association, which said, "Tracking the historical roots of a group or movement is nothing short of a monumental task... Bellant is obviously very much at home with investigative reporting." Mr. Bellant is also the author of "Old Nazis", "The New Right", and "The Republican Party"-- South End Press, 1991.
