"The Marketing of Evil" reveals how much of what Americans once almost universally abhorred has been packaged, perfumed, gift-wrapped and sold to them as though it had great value. Highly skilled marketers, playing on our deeply felt national values of fairness, generosity and tolerance, have persuaded us to embrace as enlightened and noble that which all previous generations since America’s founding regarded as grossly self-destructive – in a word, evil.

In this groundbreaking and meticulously researched book, Kupelian peels back the veil of marketing-induced deception to reveal exactly when, where, how, and especially why Americans bought into the lies that now threaten the future of the country.

For example, few of us realize that the widely revered father of the "sexual revolution" has been irrefutably exposed as a full-fledged sexual psychopath who encouraged pedophilia. Or that giant corporations voraciously competing for America's $150 billion teen market routinely infiltrate young people's social groups to find out how better to lead children into ever more debauched forms of "authentic self-expression."

I have certainly never heard of abortion rights having anything to do with minorities, nor can I see any connection. There is no racial or ethnic aspect at all, and religious minorities would probably be the ones most opposed to them.

Hannah Montana is leading our yoots down the twisted path to sin. :(
 
If Dr. Laura says it's worth reading, I'm on it. She's a licensed podiatrist.

And a straight shooter. Oddly enough has some decent advice, but damn if you don't want to shoot the messenger at this point.
 
i love the world net and its pet books

is this not a amicus re incarnated?

from the blurb:

Likewise, most of us mistakenly believe the "abortion rights" and "gay rights" movements were spontaneous, grassroots uprisings of neglected or persecuted minorities wanting to breathe free. Few people realize America was actually "sold" on abortion thanks to an audacious public relations campaign that relied on fantastic lies and fabrications. Or that the "gay rights" movement – which transformed America's former view of homosexuals as self-destructive human beings into their current status as victims and cultural heroes – faithfully followed an in-depth, phased plan laid out by professional Harvard-trained marketers.

No quarter is given in this riveting, insightful exploration of how lies, both subtle and outrageous, are packaged as truth. From the federal government to the public school system to the news media to the hidden creators of "youth culture," nothing is exempt from the thousand-watt spotlight of Kupelian's journalistic inquiry.

In the end, "The Marketing of Evil" is an up-close, modern-day look at what is traditionally known as "temptation" – the art and science of making evil look good.

I'm not sensing that air of pomposity that oozes from his writing - that "I'm so right and you're so wrong" attitude he employs to dismiss anyone questioning his lack of reasoning. However, if the weighty tome includes a chapter on the benefits of sweatshops, it very well could be ami in disguise.

The bolded part intrigues me. To me, there is no doubt that the gay rights movement was just as it is described here. There were no government or institutional sponsors of any kind. My understanding is that it is traced back to the Stonewall riots in NY, when gays, an extremely persecuted minority, fought back against police and other governmental abuse.

At the same time, abortion rights has no connection to any kind of neglected or persecuted minority. To the degree that it is or was a "movement" at all, it has always been led by educated women, with a great deal of help and support from their male counterparts.
