description: The demon is a mob and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs depends on mobs coddles mobs publicizes and celebrates mobsit is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals. In her most provocative book to date Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob for Liberal The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they havent heard on NPR.Liberal No matter how mad the plan isFraternit the New Soviet Man the Master Race the Great Leap Forward the Cultural Revolution Building a New Society ObamaCarea mob will believe it.Liberal Instead of counterrevolutionaries liberals opponents are called haters those who seek to divide us tea baggers and right-wing hate groups. Meanwhile conservatives call liberals liberalsand that makes them testy.Liberal In the world of the liberal as in the world of Robespierre there are no crimes only criminals.Liberal If Charles Mansons followers hadnt killed Roman Polanskis wife Sharon Tate Clinton would have pardoned him too and hed probably be teaching at Northwestern University. Citing the father of mob psychology Gustave Le Bon Coulter catalogs the Lefts mob the creation of messiahs the fear of scientific innovation the mythmaking the preference for images over words the lack of morals and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas.Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierres revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from Americas founding fathers) who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the general will before slaughtering their fellow citizens for the good of mankind.Similarly as Coulter demonstrates liberal mobs from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the general will.This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin of Hitler of the guillotineand the tradition of the American Left.As the heirs of the French Revolution Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs time and again while Republicans heirs to the American Revolution have regularly stood for peaceable order.Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimesassassination plots conspiracy theorizing political violence embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the Political violencemob violenceis always a Democratic affair.Surveying two centuries of mob movements Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet she argues beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties Americans have lost their natural inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with. Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.
