The rampage of the President and his gang of neo-cons and corporadoes is presented by many liberal powerbrokers as a uniquely evil experience in the history of the American republic. Bush is cast as Hitler, and it becomes a moral imperative for progressives to rally behind any Democrat, because in comparison to an American Hitler, all challengers must be benign. Right?--Wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDime's Worth of Difference\u003c\/i\u003e shatters these myths once and for all. A must-read in this election year, it's the new collection edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, editors of the hugely popular radical website CounterPunch.org and the investigative newsletter \u003ci\u003eCounterPunch\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom judicial nominees to the environmental pillage, economic policy to health care, military aggression to civil liberties, the Democrats and Republicans have acted as a two-headed beast, pursuing the same policies, often underwritten by the same financial sponsors. Both parties insist that there are real differences that divide them. But after 12 years of Clinton\/Bush, those differences are harder than ever to detect. Only the rhetoric, backed by scare tactics, remains. In \u003ci\u003eDime's Worth of Difference\u003c\/i\u003e, Cockburn and St. Clair, and a team of \u003ci\u003eCounterPunch\u003c\/i\u003e writers, blow away the rhetorical smog that has polluted our politics for the last few decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDime's Worth of Difference\u003c\/i\u003e shows, for all who dare look, that the fake choice of the lesser of two evils still leaves you with evil. It doesn't matter which door you chose. This timely book calls on progressives to begin a new movement outside the death-embrace of the Democratic Party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNationally syndicated journalists \u003cb\u003eAlexander Cockburn\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eJeffrey St. Clair\u003c\/b\u003e have co-authored numerous best--sellers, including \u003ci\u003eWhiteout: The CIA\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDrugs and The Press\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWashington Babylon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAl Gore: A User's Manual\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Cockburn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904859038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904859031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AK Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.52h x 5.16w x 0.72d","brand":"Alexander Cockburn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372457218303,"sku":"9781904859031","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c10eff3d-7905-45d4-b966-b0211737e191.jpg?v=1732725999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dimes-worth-of-difference-alexander-cockburn-9781904859031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
