A Must Read For Every American

To think that Sarah Palin has gotten so far and received so much media attention after reading this book is frightening. The multiple authors and sources provided in this book are remarkable. This is a piece that well documents the nightmare Sarah and more succinctly the Republican right is.

This is a MUST read !!

I won't hide my liberal bias, but I thought I had read just about EVERYTHING about Sarah Palin since her arrival on the national scene. With this book, I was surprised at how much more there was to learn. To the reviewer who says this book is a disgrace, I say that freedom of speech and of the press are the foundations of this nation, and I'm grateful to the publishers for presenting the truth about Palin, since she won't. If her supporters were "duped" by the similar cover art and title, all the better, since this may be the only avenue to reach them with FACTUAL information about the former mayor and governor. I hope many millions of people who have not been closely following her actions or dangerous words during the past year will read "Going Rouge" with their eyes wide open. It is not a "hatchet job".... it just tells the truth. And that is frightening.

Great book for the rest of us!

Brilliant and funny antidote to the nonsense in that "other" book. Boasts an impressive lineup of contributors and editors. If the "real" book left you feeling lost and despondent, try this one - you'll feel better.

Right on target about the Real Palin

This is not the fluff piece called "Going Rogue", but deals with the reality of Sarah Palin--who she truly is, what she is about, what she says and tweets (see Palintolgy Section). This will irritate the sheep who blindly follow her and feel she is being attacked by the "liberal elite" not realizing the irony that she is an elitist who is using them as pawns for economic and political power. This book bares that Palin as all about Palin. The book does what it sets out to do and points out that Palin is a fake populist who who wants to be in the spotlight as a celebrity, the better for the Palin brand. Spouting rightwing populist talking points is great as long as it gets her where she wants to go (and sells books!!!) and it is used as an excuse when people question why she is a quitter.
