Here's everything you need to know about Anarchists, Peace Moms, Granolas, and many other types of left-wing wackos…so you can annoy them before they annoy you! Dreadlocks. Megaphones. The stench of patchouli oil and bad ideas. Who are these ridiculous characters clogging our streets and college campuses, protesting everything from "American imperialism" to genetically modified food to tax cuts? And how can an articulate, employed, sane person like yourself glean entertainment value from their antics? Kfir Alfia and Alan Lipton, the founders of ProtestWarrior, America's leading antiactivist organization, have spent years studying the eighteen distinct species of leftist protesters in our midst-everyone from Blacktivists to Hacktivists to Islamothugs. And in this hilarious guide, they will teach you: How to easily differentiate among similar species like Communists, Anarchists, and College Students. How to recognize the subtleties of the Performance Artist versus the Dylan Wannabe and the Acid Freak versus the Granola. How to confront, tease and taunt these wackos with witty comebacks, demolishing zingers, and infuriating facts. (Here's one: "War never solved anything ... except for slavery, fascism, Nazism and communism!") A Field Guide to Left Wing Wackos is the manual you want at your fingertips to defend yourself and the American Way-and have some fun while you're at it.… (more)

A well executed take-off of a Field Guide to different strains of protest philosophies. At the height of the War in Iraq, I frequently visited the ProtestWarrior Website and enjoyed their pseudo--infiltration of mass demonstrations, yet I was unaware they had written a book. Just like their scathing slogans on placards to tote around a Leftist's protest dream, the book is well done.

More than just a parody and mindless skewering of stereotypes, Alfia and Lipton know the depths and intricacies of a multitude of Lefty groups. Having had been a part of one of these groups in the early 90s, I write from experience and can state these caricatures are spot-on. ( )
