Tammy Bruce: Speaking of TNAR Reviews

Speaking of TNAR Reviews

Reader Eric brought to my attention a good review the TNAR by Beth Gillan of the Philadelphia Inquirer which just appeared today. Thanks Eric. I remember giving Beth an interview but had no idea what would come of it.

...Nor will she retreat from statements that infuriate critics, such as her insistence that "my politics haven't changed," even as she has morphed over a decade from liberal darling to Fox flag waver.

"I'm still committed to advancing the rights of the individual," Bruce said last week by phone from New York, where she was promoting The New American Revolution: Using the Power of the Individual to Save Our Nation From Extremists (William Morrow, $24.95).

Revolution is Bruce's third book about contemporary political culture, following The New Thought Police, a critique of political correctness, and The Death of Right and Wrong, which became a New York Times best-seller despite (or maybe because) Publisher's Weekly called it a "right-wing screed" penned "with an apostate's zeal."...

The whole article is here.

Gillen, too, remarks on PW's review of DRW and perhaps how my I'll-Buy-It-If-They-Hate-It theory is in fact not mine alone ;)

Tammy, I used to listen to you on the radio back in your leftist days, when I was also a LOT more rigid. You infuriated me every time I turned on the show, but I kept on listening because you had a lot of energy and were a lot of fun. I can only imagine how others must be infuriated by you now..... Good luck with your book. When I get on Christmas break from school I will go buy a copy.

You might want to watch yourself, Tammy. If you keep saying things to infuriate people in your books, blog and columns to infuriate the Left, you might end up with David Brock and his Media Matters group after you, like they are Ann Coulter, for "spreading false information". *wink*

I really need to get off my duff and pick the book up. Something to do during lunch on Friday! ;)

(One day I'll tell y'all about how I started out as a moderate and became a conservative. Let's just say that being surrounded by leftists in college was a REAL eye-opener.)
