The Left is angry—angry at President George W. Bush, the
war in Iraq, the “right-wing media,” and more. And as
National Review investigative writer Byron York reveals in this stunning,
meticulously
reported book, liberal activists have harnessed that anger
to build the
biggest, richest, and best organized political movement in
American
history.
Indeed, the Left’s failure to oust
President Bush in
2004 has obscured the fact that this new movement has
transformed
American politics. York documents the staggering scope of
liberals’
efforts—the record sums of money spent, the “shell game”
financial
maneuvers, the close coordination between “nonpartisan”
groups and the
Democratic Party, the revolutionary approaches to fund-
raising and
reaching out to voters, the pioneering use of movies and
websites as
campaign tools, and more.
The Vast Left Wing
Conspiracy
provides a startling behind-the-scenes look at this
powerful liberal
movement. York brings the reader into secret powwows at
Soros’s
Hamptons estate, into the Chinese restaurant where MoveOn
is born, to a
gala event where Al Franken rants about the evils of the
right wing, to
fund-raisers where liberals openly mock the election laws
they’re
ignoring, to the movie premiere where Michael Moore is
feted by
top-ranking Democrats, into the Washington restaurant where
Democratic
operatives hatch their plan, and to many other spots along
the way.
One
thing above all becomes clear: Despite their failure to win
in 2004,
liberals will only keep improving the well-oiled political
machine they
built.
