Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation is a book written by Jason Mattera. Published in 2010 by Simon & Schuster, the book purports to reveal methods that Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign used to organize or mislead young voters.
Content
[edit | edit source]The official summary of the book begins: "For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history." According to publisher Simon & Schuster, Mattera "reveals the jaw-dropping lengths Barack Obama and his allies in Hollywood, Washington, and Academia went to in order to transform a legion of iPod-listening, MTV-watching followers into a winning coalition that threatens to become a long-lasting political realignment."[1]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Stephen Gutowski at Human Events, for which Mattera is editor, praised the book, which he said "well chronicles how liberals have taken advantage of and brain-washed" college-aged voters.[2] On broadcast media, Mattera was a guest on the Fox News Channel program Hannity[3] and radio programs The David Pakman Show[4][5] The Thom Hartmann Program.[6]
Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group, published two articles critical of Obama Zombies: one that disputes Mattera's claim that Obama labels himself as "apologizer in chief"[7] and another claiming that Mattera used questionable sources and information to criticize the scientific opinion on climate change.[8]
Bestseller list
[edit | edit source]Obama Zombies reached #14 on The New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction, covering the week ending April 3.[9]
