Left Out!: How Liberals Helped Reelect George W. Bush

by Joshua Frank, Jeffrey St. Clair (Introduction)

“The evidence unearthed here will unnerve many progressives who nurse their news from the nipples of the New York Times . But it’s not too late to wean yourselves. Frank’s sober assessment offers progressives a nourishing shot at redemption at the most tremulous hour of the republic.”—Jeffrey St. Clair Noam Chomsky once pointed out that a lot can be learned by examining the left end of the mainstream political debate because it reveals the limits to the principles guiding American power. Joshua Frank reveals that those limits are not only narrow, but are an ominous trend. Born and raised in Montana, Joshua Frank lives in New York City. His work has appeared in many publications, including CounterPunch and Z Magazine .

How can this be? Joshua Frank explains in book that will make you want to scream. Go ahead and scream. Then go out and do something about it.
