FUNNY.

FRIGHTENING.

TRUE.

It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.

Just go away! you think to yourself -- but they only become more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. You can't get away. Your only hope is...

...this book.

Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense, has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts.

And this book is full of them.

The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they tell you that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time an idiot tells you that vegetable prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll stop saying "no, they won't" and you'll start saying, "actually, eliminating all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year more on produce." (See page 139.)

Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth.

 "Arrogance" 2009-10-12
By Jonathan M. Cook (Bridgeport, WV USA)
An arrogant man that could have spoken up and conjured up those fake rallies anytime during the last 8-year administration but did not. He does not deserve to look so smug. (Is there any reason why the "R" is backwards on the cover?)


 "Yee haw" 2009-10-12
By John Anderson

 "Small Mind" 2009-10-11
By Jan Kirk (Salt Lake City, UT)
Talk about little mind - Glenn Beck has the market on that, for sure. He uses dramatics, misrepresenation, good ideas of other as his own, and out right lies to make a buck and that is all he is doing. Please, don't pay him any mind.


 "Arguing with Idiots Review" 2009-10-11
By Jeffrey Launiere (Tampa, FL)
I absolutely love this book as it is just plain common sense which is in short supply anymore. With so many idiots to argue with this book gives a very strong response to many of the most common left wing topics. Glenn of course is an equal opportunity fact checker in the past going after Republicans and now Democrats.

The only suggestion is that this is the first book that did not work being made in to the Kindle version. Many of the cartoons and thought pages are written in small and light print and are unreadable on the Kindle. I looked at the book at the book store and the book is much more readable.

So get this book, though if you are a left wing nut this book is probably not for you as it will make your brain and body explode, however if you have common sense and are human you will love this book.:) But get the real book and not the Kindle edition. The Kindle is incredible, but maybe not for every book.


 "I wish I had text books like when I grew up." 2009-10-11
By Michael S. Eger (East Longmeadow, MA USA)
I grew up under Reagan. When I went to school, we where the good guys, and Russia had long bread lines. Now things are backwards and it just does not feel right.

This book, while not perfect, is one of most condensed collection of conservative arguments with FOOTNOTES I have seen! Also Glenn and his staff has mastered the energetic writing style that keeps my ADHD mind reading.

My recommendation is to remove the book jacket and visit a coffee shop to read this great book.
