Description: Today "objective" journalists and academics and "moderate" politicians peddle some of the most radical arguments by hiding them in homespun aphorisms. With humor and passion, Goldberg dismantles these Trojan horses and shows how our thinking is profoundly shaped by them.

Review Quotes: "Straw man down! In the PC prison yard of accepted political thought, Jonah Goldberg has just shivved progressivism. Bold, brilliant, and bursting with humor, every page of The Tyranny of Clichés is right on the money. If you thought Liberal Fascism was good, wait till you read The Tyranny of Clichés--it is fantastic!"-- "Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling author"
