A bad craziness is snaking through America in the first years of the Obama administration: the wingnuts are on the attack!
Whats a wingnut? A wingnut is someone on the far-right or far-left wing of the political spectrum - professional partisans, unhinged activists, and paranoid conspiracy theorists. Barack Obama campaigned as an antidote to the politics of polarization, promising to transcend the old divides of left and right, black and white, red states and blue. But in the first year of his presidency, he is presiding over an eruption of hate and hyper-partisanship that threatens to mock the promise upon which he was elected.
Wingnuts is a reported exploration of the outer reaches of American politics, told from the perspectives of a radical centrist who believes that the far right and the far left are equally insane.
On the way, we'll meet the Queen of the Birthers, Orly Taitz, and the Orange County pastor who is openly praying for Obama's death. We'll get a look into the life of Obama senate opponent Alan Keyes and the draft-Palin movement, as well as the liberal anti-war Obama protestor Cindy Sheehan and her allies in Code Pink. Wingnuts also looks at people trying to bridge the political divide, like the Afghan war vet who founded Republicans for Obama.
Foreword written and read by Tina Brown.

Would you consider the audio edition of Wingnuts to be better than the print version?
Never read the Print versionWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Wingnuts?
The author showing that both the right and the left have what he terms "Wingnuts."Have you listened to any of John P. Avlon and Tina Brown (foreword) ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I would be interested in reading others because this was very good.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Right, Left, take your pick - they're all crazy!Any additional comments?
Wingnuts gives a great look at the fringe elements in both the Right-Wing and Left-Wing of the country. Both sides will cringe or puff up in defense of their people. It gives a good smack-down of those considered extreme.Everyone needs to see that BOTH sides have Wingnut

I expected more analysis, less summarizing

A little out of date but entertaining

Although the book covered both far right and far left views, I would estimate that ~70% of the book dealt with far right excesses.
There was no real point to the book other than to illustrate extreme views from both sides. I don't think either conservatives or liberals would think this book worth the time.
