Arguing with Idiots
“Compelling...At its core, the book poses some critical challenges to those on all ends of the political spectrum.”
Library Journal
The #1 New York Times bestseller that gives you the right answers when idiots leave you speechless!
It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot* informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.
Just go away! you think to yourself—but they only get more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. But never fear, for Glenn Beck has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths and small minds: knowing the facts.
And this book is full of them.
The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban. When they insist that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read in this book. And the next time you hear how produce prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll have the perfect rebuttal. Armed with the ultimate weapon—the truth—you can now tolerate (and who knows, maybe even enjoy?) your encounters with idiots everywhere!
*Idiots can't be identified through voting records; look instead for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense.
