Forgive Us Our Spins
"Well written, witty, and wise. Jesse Larner's book goes well beyond its brief: it helps us understand where the left has been going for the last few years, and where it might end up." —GEORGE MONBIOT, columnist, The Guardian (UK) "Forgive Us Our Spins is a very smart and well-researched book about the ever-controversial Michael Moore.

A startling rise and retreat In the 1920s, a reborn Ku Klux Klan slithered into South Dakota. Bold at times, the group intimidated citizens in every county. KKK anti-Catholicism sentiment resulted in the murder of Father Arthur Belknap of Lead. Idealized Gutzon Borglum, sculptor of Mount Rushmore, operated as a white supremacist and KKK leader. In 1925, animosity between the KKK and Fort Meade soldiers came to a clash one night in Sturgis.

If you’re waiting for the world’s “Holy Men” to tell you the truth about their religions, do you suppose they’ll mention that: The Tao Te Ching was only created because Lao Tzu was thrown in jail by a disciple who didn’t want to let him leave town without writing down his teachings? “Passover” celebrates God killing all firstborn Egyptian kids while Jewish homes were “passed over” by the angel of death? Shinto, a natureloving, mellow religion, was transformed by the Japanese government into a nationalistic ideology promot...
