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

Ann Coulter is an amazing herald of our time. Many people make this point, not least of which is Coulter herself. She brings together a great ability to tie quotes and opinions together in order to create credible arguments. Unfortunately, many of her arguments are not very believable.

I find many of her points school yard in nature. She brings in many good quotes and good evidence to back up her arguments, but more times than not she tends to belittle the subjects she doesn't agree with in order to defame their point of view. This is a false way of proving a point. It’s especially true when some of her arguments are thin and are padded with emotionally charged language so people fail to see the argument isn’t very strong. I understand her intentions, but I like to hear an opinion that has clear minded points of view.

An example I can give is page 257 when a "boston radio host" that is not named stumps George W. Bush on the names of "obscure" foreign political leaders. She frames this interaction as a "no name" host, as if it doesn't matter, and ends the paragraph stating, "He was a star for a week...and then was never heard from again. But for a brief shining moment this punk was part of the herd! The Joy" The language she uses is very angry, very manipulating. I understand her intentions are to persuade her audience, but to do so without facts and hotty language is unnerving. This is precisely why I disliked parts of "The Wrecking Crew", a political nonfiction on the history of conservatives and their “evil” intentions. I want facts and quotes, not persuasive language as it wrongfully attempts to manipulate my reasoning with peer pressure speak.

The overall point of this book though, is one to almost laugh at. Quoting Mark 5:2-9 Coulter explains,

“The Demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. It is the nihilistic mob of the French Revolution;...”

She then gives examples of nihilistic mobs finishing off explaining how the Democratic Party is defined ultimately as a mob. Thus, if you’re following along with this logic, the Democratic Party are demons. I’m not sure how literal she’s thinking when it comes to demons, but she definitely intends to demonize the Democratic Party.

Its an interesting argument, mostly because it’s a crazy far out imaginative way to think about a group of people. Unfortunately it all serves as a front to rant about Democrats sucking for 250 pages. There comes a point where the reader realizes even though she spends a lot of time setting up her argument, its’ not the point of the book, and that weakens the impact of the book.

I'm sure most fans of her writing are looking for a political book that will get them hot and bothered about the issues, and it does that very well. This book is not a good source for political ammo. If someone took these arguments into a debate most of them could be refuted with some simple questions or evidence. She frames her subjects and arguments well, but much of her evidence is empty. I like my political commentary with no spin.(less)

In Demonic, Ms. Coulter expends great effort dissecting the life of mobs; who is susceptible to them, how they act and why they have a proclivity to violence. Mobs can only respond to simplistic slogans and symbols and are always composed of liberals. As mobs are irrational and liberalism is always counter to rationality, by default the mob and violence is its natural result of liberalism. Ann gives plenty of examples with a particularly in-depth analysis of the French Revolution -- the template...more

Democrats = Liberals = Leftists = Anarchists = Unthinking Mobs = Violence. Therefore, every mob ever is Liberal, and every act of violence on Coulter's list is therefore attributable to Liberalism. Every act of rebellion or revolution that turned out well was due to responsible, calm, clear-thinking, reasonable conservatives. In a stunning act of rhetoric Ann takes real, actual facts and assembles them into a picture of history where everything bad that happened, when you look at it, was actually done by Liberals, making room for Conservatives to do everything that has ever gone well for us. Here's a list of violent and disruptive people from the Left. Oh you think you have an example from the Right? It turns out they were INSANE, and also Liberal. She also reminds us that the French Revolution was an action of unruly, unthinking Liberals against the poor blameless victims in the aristocracy. I had never though of the French Revolution that way. Thanks, Ann! If you, like me, occasionally like to read books by people you hate, this book will remind you why that's a stupid idea.
Want some direct quotes? OK:
- "Conservatives don't cotton to slogans."
- "Republicans are baffled by mobs, opposed to disorder but paralyzed with indecision about what to do. Meanwhile, Democrats are hurling bricks from the barricades."
- "Christianity is never trendy, which is one reason Christians can never be a mob."
- "The mob mentality is irresistable to those with a desperate need to be popular, those who are perennially afraid of getting a bloody nose on the playground of life. This is why Conservatives can never be a mob."
- "Anyone who doesn't mind being sneered at by the daily show and other temples of the status-anxious is not susceptible to groupthink."
- "Politics for liberals is "our mass vs. their mass," but conservatives don't have a mass, liberals do."
- "Republicans are the Party of decorous order. Democrats are the party of noisy, violent mobs."
- "This nation's heroes knew what Louis XVI did not: A mob cannot be calmly reasoned with, it can only be smashed. When faced with a mob, civilized society's motto should be "overreact.""
These are her exact words, and this last one to me suggests that liberals should be smashed into submission.

The last portion of her books is explaining we people become Liberals in spite of how annoying and stupid they are. Here's a suggestion to those who are not Liberals and who somehow have never met one: Everything after "The key to understanding Liberals is…" is made up. Completely fabricated. She paints a picture of Liberalism that is completely unrecognizable. I think she's never actually met a Liberal in person, so don't take her word on what they're like.

The two chapters Coulter explains the French Revolution, is reason enough for anyone to read this book. Like her other books, she is rather vocal and provocative in getting the salient points across.

Coulter compares the antics and actions of the Liberal Left to the actions of a mob. She uses Gustave Le Bon’s 1896 book The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind to demonstrate and illustrate her positions. Conservatives use logic, reason and public debate to bring attention to problems and potential outcomes. Conversely, Democrats use the behavior(s) of a Mob—shouting, breaking things, throwing rocks at police, etc to achieve their demands.

She provides plenty of examples through the years in which the Liberals have used the mob to get what they want. The mob uses images, slogans, and even chants that transforms the person from an individual to a member of a mob. As an individual a person is less apt to call someone a name or inflict pain. However, when one or more start, others join in and any reservations regarding their individual behavior is gone.

Throughout the book she references the actions of the French during its revolution and how they followed the works of Jean Jacques Rousseau, whom the Left loves. She also cites examples of Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution, Hitler and his Nazi party, Chairman Mao Tse- Tung’s Cultural Revolution, and Pol Pot’s slaughter in Cambodia. The French Revolution was one of the most macabre, bloody, and torturous in all of modern history. It served as an example to the aforementioned. Not just in body count and beheadings, but the manner in which the leaders convinced the “mob” to act. They leveraged the mob’s needs and manipulate their thought: Mobs do not think, they play follow the leader. Coulter contrasts all these actions to the American Revolution, and level of civility exemplified from all the signers of the Declaration of Independence to General George Washington.

On last component of this book is the glaring example of Christianity. All of the Liberal movements exclude Judeo-Christian beliefs while those of the Conservatives include them. Coulter starts the book by quoting Mark 5: 2-9, where Jesus is casting out the demons from the chained man. Jesus asks him: “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many”. With God, there is order; without God you have chaos. Mobs are chaotic because of the lack of God. Yes, this is a simplistic reduction, but it holds true.

In it she deals with the mob mentality of America's left by contrasting it with the thinking of America's right. She sees this as the difference between the actions of the purveyors of the atheistic French Revolution and those of the Christian American Revolution respectively.

I particularly loved the way she historically detailed the gory atrocities of the French Revolution with a great deal of insight into what evil incited and drove the unruly mob. Contrast this with the Biblically sound principles that undergirded the American Revolution. Coulter shows how the leftist mob (because it follows the mentality of the leftist mob!) sees the French and American Revolutions as one and the same!

Coulter begins her book by quoting Mark 5:2-9. This portion of Scripture records Jesus dealing with a demoniac. Jesus asked the demoniac, "What is your name?" To which the demoniac replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many." Herein lies the thesis for Demonic. Says Coulter, "The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic."

As I read her book I was reminded of a time I was home visiting Scotland. Whenever I mentioned the name of John Knox it would be met by a negative response. Though people knew virtually nothing about Knox, they knew only that they hated him! The party line is that Knox is to be demonized. Ask why, and you are likely to be demonized by the mob too! By way of example, try discussing with a group of people the concept that man-made global-warming is probably wrong or that the Theory of Evolution (goo to you) is fantasy and you'll see what Ann Coulter is getting at in her book. The lynch-mob will gnash its teeth before it strings you up without a trial!

This book is liberally sprinkled (I use the word "liberal" here in the good sense of the word!) with witty gems of Coulter humour. She had me quietly sniggering and at times laughing out loud. I had to keep looking over my shoulder just in case some lefty would see me actually enjoying this book and report me to the thought police!

I suppose the only downside to Demonic is that a good grasp of American politics and the names of American politicians, news associations, news reporters etc. is needed to receive full benefit.

Well done Ann Coulter!

I expected a lot of crazy comments from the woman that said, "That's why our blacks are better than their blacks." A statement that landed her the #10 spot on the list "most racist comments in 2011" according to Colorlines. I would have to say, she didn't disappoint:

Pg. 29 "When Obama came along, guess who liberals started having sex dreams about? Yes, the big-eared beanpole."

Pg: 45 "Ironically, Liberals love actual sodomitic tea bagging, but use the term derisively when talking about ordinary Americans protesting a Democratic president's policies. "

Pg. 42 "When Clinton was caught ejaculating on interns..."

Her statements were often rude, crass, outrageous, over-generalizations or lies completely unsupported by facts. She cites a lot of things, but she cites the irrelevant part of her points and then goes on to make outrageous claims as if those were supported as well. She will present an Arguments that is made up of A, B, & C. She will then cite B, and act as if A & C are also true.

The most heinous example of this is when she blamed the mass witch-hunt for child molesters in the 80's and 90's on Liberals. This happened all over the country, she leaves out so many details, like how the scare originated in Texas with a crazy mother leaving her kid on the lawn of a Day Care Center. She says, without supporting this claim, that it was mostly liberal therapist that coerced the children into making false claims and liberal prosecutors that sentenced innocent people to prison. ALL of her statements were not cited EXCEPT a "Republican district attorney discovered that the charges were utterly baseless" in Pennsylvania.

The worst part of this book was that she constantly references LE Bon, a psychologist in the late 1800's early 1900's, who wrote about "Racial superiority." But what's pertinent to Anne Coulter is that he also wrote about herd behavior. But, I guess it didn't matter to her that Le Bon was racist, that Mien Kampf drew mostly off of his works, and that Moussolini kept his books by his bedside. But, Anne Coulter doesn't care about the characters or the reputation of the person she is citing, she just cares that it provides smart-sounding material to faux-substantiate her claims that Liberals act as mobs.

Anne Coulter just came off as conniving, childish, hateful women who twists facts or flat out lies. I think she just wants to be media figure and knows that if she's crazy enough people will read her books. I did.(less)
