So I thought this book was interesting and weird at the same thing. However; I read this book for the wrong reasons to enjoy it. I read this book so I could could know the counter arguments to my arguments. Overall it was mainly rhetoric, so I didn't find it very interesting.

While How to Win a Fight with a Liberal is first and foremost a political humour book, it provides a range of tips for how to effectively debate and argue with friends, family members, colleagues or others who advocate the left-wing political agenda. The book is focused on American politics, so it likely will not be fully appreciated by readers with little knowledge of American politics and culture. However, many of the points are also applicable to the UK and other democratic countries. The tone of the book is very much about fun and humour and it is not meant to be taken too seriously, and the author gives a lot of hilarious examples of how not to argue from the conservative side and he ridicules various positions and claims from the liberal side. Referring to himself as "an equal opportunity offender", the author has also written a corresponding/contrary book called How to Win a Fight with a Conservative. This is a very short book but worth reading for high humour and entertainment value.

This book is absolutely hilarious--a clearly satirical look at the insults Conservatives can sling at the comments Liberals love to flout whenever there's a debate that rages. Kurtzman writes very tongue-in-cheek, and I'm quite sure he's an all around insulter, as I've seen the book for winning a fight with Conservatives. This book made me laugh out loud, to the point of tears, and it gets to the heart of the biggest differences between both sides. **Not recommended for dinner time conversation! But it makes fir great bathroom reading. lol

Even though I lean to the left, I found this book really funny. There are some good arguing tips that are useful no matter what your political affiliation. But the best part is the humorous take on the differences between liberals and conservatives, and the entertaining ways it suggests for bridging the divide.

For the first chapters, I was actually fooled into believing this book was written by a hardcore conversative. However, it takes on both conversative and liberal prejudices and idiosyncracies and is at times actually funny.

[Patricia · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ultimate "How-to" books on how to promote mature, intelligent debate between the extra chromosome slack-jawed troglodytes and the sanctimonious stem-cell-sucking surrender monkeys.
