A sharp, funny send-up of the deceptive way liberals speak, this book shrewdly exposes how the left uses language to spin, slander, and often sucker-punch conservatives.

Liberwocky: What Liberals Say and What They Really Mean
By Victor Gold

Laid out like a dictionary from A to Z, "Liberwocky" takes a close and comedic look at how liberals use and abuse language to manipulate the citizenry and their attitudes.

Having 40 years of political and media experience, Gold sees through the trickery of today’s political rhetoric. And in this book, he exposes their techniques, their verbal twists and devious turns of phrase, in a way that is both provocative and hilarious.

Including sections such as: "Truly Stupid Liberal Ideas" (poking fun at the U.N., Puerto Rican statehood, and voting rights for felons) and "The American Liberal's All Time Enemies List" (50 conservatives liberals love to hate), this book — both mocking and informative — is a gut-busting and insightful romp through the language of modern politics.

Victor Gold is national correspondent for The Washingtonian, covering political affairs and the connection between Washington and Hollywood. He was deputy press secretary to Barry Goldwater in 1964 and press secretary to Vice President Spiro Agnew. He has served as a speechwriter for George Bush, Gerald Ford, and Bob Dole and has operated as campaign guru for clients as varied as "Big Jim" Folsom and Shirley Temple Black. Gold collaborated with George H.W. Bush for what Chris Matthews called "the best political autobiography of the year,” Looking Forward (1987), and recently with Lynn Cheney for the political thriller/comedy, The Body Politic (1988, 2000), described by Publishers Weekly as "a satire of the first order." Before that, he wrote P-R as in President (1977), I Don't Need You When I'm Right (1974), and So You Want to Be a Liberal (1969).
