The liberals kind of went to sleep and failed to notice how cowed the media was. The right devoted alot of energy and money to pure propaganda that consisted of fabricated and manufactured attacks, distortion and lying, not getting out a "message" as Parry too soliticitously and charitably describes it.

This a setting up a false choice between grass roots organizing (which they didn't really do anyway, since the actions Parry describes is not really grassroots organizing but has always occured in some form before this era he describes) and a smarter use of the media.

Parry strikes me anyway as a borderline Hitchens, more willing to describe what he sees as liberal mistakes and feeble and misguided thinking than leading an attack on the enemy.
So he lists as mistakes the things liberals and progressives have always done and says how foolish that was, but what solutions does he truly offer? Typically none.
