Negative Positive
Title: Intellectual Honesty
Review: Hitchens' main concern in this book is to demonstrate that the Left has lost its intellectual honesty. If, in fact, the Left was willing to aid and abet a charismatic self-serving demagogue, then what else could they stoop to?While Hitchens did, in fact, work at the Nation, they sacked him because he was constantly trying to hold the Nation to an intellectual standard that they blatantly discarded going into the buildup for the last DNC sweep of the Whitehouse and Congress.To understand the modern DNC, you need to read Hitchens. Once you see how it went under Clinton, then you suddenly understand why the current administration shielded Fanny Mae and Big Pharma rather than pursue real economic and healthcare reform.Clinton was a corporatist. The parallels to the current administration are more than just coincidence. It's the modern DNC political blueprint.By the way, corporate socialism is, by definition, Fascism. And a devout Communist like Hitchens knows it for what it is.
