With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year’s presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country.
Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element—the “lunatic fringe” of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture.
But they haven’t done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again.
Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.

There is nothing new about this book. It is not worth the paper that it is printed on. Rather than pass it on, I threw it in the trash and feel bad that I spend MY HARD EARNED money on the book.
I think arianna would be good at writing novels since this actually is one.
No matter which side she's on at the moment she is dead wrong about too many things. The only thing I can really agree with, is that the Constitution of the United States is being trampled by both sides. I think it is time for all the Arianna's to stay home and raise a kid, rather than aborting them so they can have time to write such a silly worthless book.

I question everything I read and this may be one of the most difficult and useless books I have ever read. Here's why:
1. The sentence structure is all over the place and reminds me of an angry person spoutting off in an email.
2. Citations are not easily cross referenced.
3. Facts are either incorrect or not referenced. Sometimes both.
4. There isn't a logical argument as to why her proposed solutions are better than others. Simply put, Arianna states that her conclusions are the only answer and any arguement against them isn't even worth the time of day.
If your are looking for a good Liberal vs. Conservative book, please don't waste your time with this book.

Arianna H. is a great example of what happens when good people go bad. She is the author and creator of the "lunatic fringe". She writes her doublespeak to insight the silent majority to dare to do something about her kind. She is like a mule on skid row, and is only waiting to kick or bite the hand that feeds her. This is a horrible piece of trite, and a pathetic excuse for writing. Wake up America before you find yourself in slavery again! IMPEACH OBAMA now before he ends America as we know it!

| It's fun to be lectured on moral issues by the owner of a hate website.... |

Aside from the fact that this book is a cheap shot at people's intelligence, the owner of the hate filled website HuffPo offers nothing. It must be fun to be lectured by a hatemonger whose website wishes death and illness for the former VP of the US Mr. Cheney or publishes stories by former terrorists Bill Ayres and others. I am not so sure if Ms. Huff is the right person to talk about whats wrong or right. She married a republican, took the money and turned to back stab & abuse the country she is living in and has given her so much. This is ridiculous. DO not waste your money on this.
