They want to shut you up. But don’t let this be the End of
Discussion. In this fresh and provocative new book, Mary Katharine Ham
and Guy Benson, dynamic Fox News and Townhall Media duo,
expose how the Left exploits fake outrage to silence their
political opponents—in public, on social media, at work, and
even in their own homes. You’ve felt it and “End of
Discussion” can help you fight it. The political correctness born on college campuses has
mutated into a new hypersensitivity. It’s weaponized in
Washington, D.C. by a network of well-trained operatives,
media, and politicians, and proliferated throughout the
country. The new Puritans of the Left are quick to ban
comedians and commencement speakers alike for the sin of
disagreeing with them. They demand “safe spaces” while
making dissent increasingly dangerous for Americans. Ham and Benson demonstrate just how dangerous the outrage
industry—a coalition of mostly liberal blowhards and
busybodies—is to America. The media frenzy they create is
designed to disqualify opposing viewpoints on everything
from health care to education by labeling them racist,
sexist, and evil. They punish speech that makes them
uncomfortable, demanding boycotts, censures, and people’s
jobs. They seek to win political and cultural debates by
preventing them from happening. And if you think this behavior is relegated to political
fights or politicians, think again. The same activists are
ready to foment outrage over your association with the
“wrong” fried chicken joints, Internet browsers, breast
cancer charities, pasta, children’s toys, Halloween
costumes, TV shows, schools, and even comedians’ jokes. With Ham and Benson’s help, readers can cut through the
noise and find their voices again, fighting back against the
rampant self-censorship and hair-trigger apologies that
always make things worse, not better. With fresh reporting
and insightful, occasionally tongue-in-cheek analysis, End
of Discussion is a timely handbook for anyone who wants to
make sure debate doesn’t meet an ugly death during the 2016
election. Despite President Obama’s frequent declarations to
the contrary, the time for debate is not over.
