Demonic

How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America

De: Ann Coulter

Narrado por: Elizabeth White

The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrate mobs - it is the mob.

Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.

This book is censored

Ann Coulter's writing is good, but the narrator is mediocre at best. The biggest problem I have with the book is that words are occasionally censored, including 3 consecutive words without context leaving you no idea what was actually said. I called audible and they told me the book was recorded that way.

Can someone tell me the point of recording a book only to censor it? Because I think its idiotic to do so.

Just when you thought it was safe....

Ann Coulter did it again. This time not only does she call out leftists on their hypocrisy, but she also provides a very detailed history of a number of key events that are generally misunderstood in our revisionist world (French Revolution etc.). If you are a leftist and afraid to listen to Ann, I think you should reconsider. No matter your perspective, she provides well documented insight into the mob mentality and how it is used in modern times. This is the heart of the ultra-leftist (Nazi, communist, socialist, environmentalist, etc. etc.) way of thinking....all facts are relative...the mob (collective good, Volk, common will, State) is holy...

This really is a powerful read, and I enjoyed it for the depth of history provided. This is a candidate within my library for a second listen...not that many books make that grade with me. Highly recommend.

Narration didn't work for me

What did you like best about Demonic? What did you like least?

Elizabeth White's narration distracted from the book's message. Too soft-spoken. The greater the intended emphasis - the softer the voice. Having listened to Ann narrate previous books it was difficult to appreciate Elizabeth's approach towards narration. I'm sure her narration style works for others but I would suggest her style is more appropriate for children's books about bunnies.

Not Coulter's Best Work

Ann Coulter's book is a crafted argument connecting the ideology of Rousseau and the mob violence of the French Revolution to modern liberalism. While the connection is obvious to anyone not already indoctrinated into leftist thought, Coulter's book has value in reiterating the history of the French Revolution, as well as enumerating the ideological similarities within US liberalism. Her book explains a lot of reasons why the left rejects US Constitutional principles, all the while purporting to believe in equality. Coulter makes the connection that liberal "equality" is akin to the French "egalite et fraternite."

Coulter's main point, that liberalism is mob rule, explains a lot about liberal behavior in the US, as well as explaining the power elite who want to control and use the mob in order to promote leftist ideals. Coulter's call to arms at the end of the book, in order to fight against liberal mob rule, will be seen as inflammatory.

Two things marred this particular book: the lengthy coverage of a New York rape trial and subsequent "public retrial" through the media (including an appendix on the subject); and the narration by Elizabeth White. While the trial and the leftist media's revisiting the verdict exemplify the indoctrination that can lead to rejecting the rule of law, I'm still unsure why Coulter spent so many pages in its point-by-point rebuttal. White's narration, instead of reading the text straight, sounded smarmy throughout the entire book. Instead of helping the argument, it got in the way.

Those who like Ann Coulter won't be disappointed with the argument. Those who hate Ann Coulter won't be disappointed with the argument. If you're looking for a more general introduction into conservative thought, I'd suggest Thomas Sowell's Dismantling America.

Great Insight

Ann compares the American Revolution with the French Revolution. Why did the French Revolution end in failure and why did the American Revolution succeed. The difference, being an agnostic Mob in France vs. our Founders, who subscribed to higher spiritual values. Now the Mob has taken over America. They want the Creators and Producers pay ever more taxes, so that they can vote themselves ever more money. If we don't stop it soon, this will end in a failure of the Republic.

Mob mentality explained nicely!!!

Love the way difference between the American and French Revolution are laid out so clearly!!

The OWS Mob Proves Ann's Point is Totally Right ON

The book Could not have been Proven to be more timely than to have the Occupy Wall Street MOBS, take to the streets AFTER she puts the book out To Make What Ann Coulter States True. You would almost accuse The OWS MOB being part of a VAST Right Wing Plot to make Ann's Book Sell More copies.

The Older I get the more conservitive I become. I never would have even thought that I would ever be agreeing with Ann, but I have to agree that that is how I and friends behaved in college, to get our way or point across to the MAN.

We were a mob, and the democratic party is paying for the parks for the OWS Mob to sleep in. Liberal companies are sending food to feed the MOB.

The book DEMONIC is a Lesson of the past coming to your TV today.

Any additional comments?

Get this book. So well written it will transform and take the wool from even the most liberal eyes. You can't deny the truth and accuracy in her points because she backs it all up. Get this book for your fuzzy eyed friends.

No, I had to break it up into sections so I could process all the information.

Any additional comments?

Ann Coulter is great at what she does, makes me scared of what the future holds.

Please stop using this reader

AUDIBLE Why don't you have Ann read her own book?
Having to hear this over-actor is grating.
