Book Review: Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation
These people do nothing to help this country; all they do is add another level of volume to a world that is too loud. May 09, Doug Hauser rated it it was amazing Shelves: Very well done with the same cutting humor that is usually reserved for lefties Cobert and Stewert. I'm sure they wouldn't consider it funny though since they really lack any sense of humor at all. Young people read this book, enlighten yourself! View all 4 comments.
Oct 13, Steven Shroyer rated it it was amazing. First let me say something to all those 1 star reviews Now on to the review. Being a former Obama Zombie I can remember volunteers coming to my anime club for Christ sake I can say this is a truly entertaining book. It basically spells out how Obama took advantage of the youth of this country by using the internet their basic lack of knowledge, and their love of celebrity culture.
It is brutal, scathing and often times First let me say something to all those 1 star reviews It is brutal, scathing and often times humorous with enough punch to keep the reader hooked. I would recommend this book to many of us who were around in and remember being suckered in. It may not be the nicest and gentlest of books, but then again waking up in the morning isn't either. Nov 03, Travis rated it did not like it Shelves: Where to start with this mess of a book? Here's his main argument: Obama was charismatic, articulate, cool, made use of social media, had the backing of a huge chunk of Hollywood and had a rock solid, on the ground, infrastructure and McCain was a lousy candidate, so the obvious conclusion is that Obama won because College kids are dumb and Obama br Obama Zombies: College kids are dumb and Obama brainwashed a whole generation!
As a 'wake up call' for a generation this book is a failure. It's arguments are unconvincing, badly stated and when he has an interesting point he is inarticulate and makes sure to bury it under a huge pile of adolescent humor involving a lot of name calling and really clunky cultural references.
A whole chapter on MTV? Are you kidding me? Obama brainwashed a whole generation using MTV? Is it again and nobody told me? He promises facts, but relies on blanket statements, talking points, and deeply flawed logic, as well as ignoring history and context and contradicting himself.
He seems to be trying really hard to stay ignorant on why anyone would be excited to be voting for the first time or seeing the USA elect the first black president. He also does not present much in the way of convincing, specific argument for why his side is better. Just more talking points, blanket statements and the occasional defense of Sarah Palin. His side is better, but you are going to just take his word for it, because he doesn't provide examples or facts.
While this book is funny, none of the laughs occur when the author is trying to be funny, those bits are pretty painful, and read like either they were written by a 12 year old or written by an old white guy trying to sound like a college student. I chuckled a lot, but never when the author wanted me to. The laughs mostly occurred when he was presenting his serious, factual arguments. Aug 07, Martina rated it did not like it. I started reading this one with only a few ideas based on the title of the book. Had never heard of it and cam upon it by chance and it's been lying around for a while.
I had this idea that it would be a critical commentary of the overwhelming gush that obama received upon election thinking of the nobel prize and similar stuff and just because the title's hyperbolic it wouldn't necessary be an interesting critique. Holy crap on a cracker was I wrong. I wish I could give this book negative stars I started reading this one with only a few ideas based on the title of the book.
I wish I could give this book negative stars. It makes me want to wash my hands as if the frothing pejoratives slung about by the author has made my hands sticky. Here's the first sentence of the 4th chapter: But in the end it seems to just want to hate on the college yuppies fair enough whilst pretending to have something more to say. I need a shower. May 14, Kim rated it it was amazing. Every young person in America should read this book!

Jun 22, Michelle rated it really liked it. Making my teenager read this - however, I'm marking over some of the swear words that the author directly quotes from others and passages that may be inappropriate material. Jan 31, Christy rated it really liked it Shelves: Before picking this up I thought, "I already know all this stuff".
But, decided to give it a try because I noticed the last chapter was about what we can do to help make sure no more zombies are created. I appreciate the way the author breaks up the book into chapters dealing with the "hot-button" issues of the time. This was published in March, , so there's obviously a lot more to add now.
It starts out really angry sounding when he's writing about "manufacturing a crowd" with celebrities Before picking this up I thought, "I already know all this stuff". It starts out really angry sounding when he's writing about "manufacturing a crowd" with celebrities, but his main points are right on target.

I do wish there hadn't been a whole chapter dedicated to Steven Colbert and John Stewart. It sounded much more personal to the author than the other chapters and it became annoying. But, it is a point worth making since their shows are favored by my generation. Above all, the best thing is that this book is dripping with facts. Facts about the environment, the economy, health-care, the media and all the individuals involved in the lies that were a large part of the Obama campaign.
Look up the facts, people, and you will be much more informed when everyone is screaming at you "do this, it's the cool thing. I'm just going to add a few pieces of this book that summed it up for me The government can't even make a profit delivering mail, yet they want to dictate the health-care policy for million Americans?! Moreover, Cuba, Venezuela, and every other socialist tyranny around the world would be economic nirvanas. Their allegiance to top-down, bureaucratic management is right out of a thirteenth-century feudal system where "kings" and "lords" gave order for how all the "peasants" would live in society.
Aug 26, Carl Martinez rated it liked it. I highly recommend this book but at the same time it was hard for me to enjoy it. Growing up in the eighties over the years I've learned to detest the current and last few generations of "young" people from the Gen X'ers, Y2K generation, the hip-hop generation, etc.
Unfortunately for years I cast aside the youth as irrelevant but reading Obama Zombies I felt as if I was in a wide-awakened nightmare where ObamaGirl and Oprah actually h I highly recommend this book but at the same time it was hard for me to enjoy it.
Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation
Unfortunately for years I cast aside the youth as irrelevant but reading Obama Zombies I felt as if I was in a wide-awakened nightmare where ObamaGirl and Oprah actually had influence to put a rock star with diddly squat for executive experience into the White House. Oct 13, Jay rated it did not like it. Mattera is simply bashing douchey college kids and newscasters. Jul 29, Dachokie rated it it was amazing Shelves: This review is from: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation Hardcover Arguably, the sudden ascension of Barack Obama can be credited to the youth generation's decision of choosing someone who seemed to echo their concerns, ideals and vision for the.
The surge of support for the young and inexperienced junior Senator from Illinois transformed into an unstoppable steamroller that clearly paved the way for his historic and successful Presidential campaign. Opposition to the Obama juggernaut from this youth movement was observed to be, at best, a humorous anomaly or at worst, racist. Even though the vitriol exhibited by both sides of the political spectrum is equally dispersed, there is occasionally a rare youthful voice that presents an argument in an entertaining, clear and succinct manner.

It is this reason that Jason Mattera's observation of his generation's political "brainwashing" proves to be a worthy read. Although "Obama Zombies" may simply be chalked-up as just another political rant from a Republican point-of-view, it is actually an impressive display of writing by a member of a generation that is often characterized as being politically ignorant.
A look at the cover of "Obama Zombies" is probably enough for many to dismiss the book from the start. Yes, the book's title and the caricatures of the iconic campaign poster are clear indications that the author's point-of-view probably isn't alongside the current President or those who follow him. What the cover doesn't reveal, however, is the youthful author's work is more of a brazen attempt to mock his generation as a bunch of mindless followers of liberal media chicanery than a tiresome anti-Obama diatribe. The first chapter of the book is dedicated to Mattera defining an "Obama Zombie" as being someone who is brainwashed by the liberal media machine through the wide variety of tools the younger generation not only embraces, but worships.
Mattera argues that the liberal media, liberal entertainers, and savvy political activists have successfully created an army of young mindless followers that blindly support s the staple liberal platform for no other reason than they can't think for themselves. What follows that initial chapter is a witty and frequently humorous account of his observations.
It is not that he is stupid, or a chickenhawk, or a racist, which seem to be the labels of the month for most conservative media darlings. Would you like to tell us about a lower price? Every young person in America should read this book! Summary of Unholy Alliance: These people do nothing to help this country; all they do is add another level of volume to a world that is too loud. While this book is funny, none of the laughs occur when the author is trying to be funny, those bits are pretty painful, and read like either they were written by a 12 year old or written by an old white guy trying to sound like a college student.
From global-warming alarmism to healthcare to world peace, the staple platforms of liberal politics have infiltrated the malleable minds of the youth generation through the very means that provides its sustenance: Specific accounts and quotes of college students menand women gushing over the President is reminiscent of seeing screaming girls at Beatles or Elvis Presley concerts. While Mattera is obviously expressing his political viewpoints in "Obama Zombies", he provides enough sources to substantiate his argument throughout the book.
In other words, I felt his book to be less proselytizing and more fact-based opinion. But, what clearly stands out, in my opinion, is the author's ability to keep the reader engaged by keeping the tone of the book upbeat with humor, especially considering the provocative subject matter.
Living in a college town has exposed me to many instances of political ignorance being expressed by college students regardless of their political affiliation , so while I feel Mattera's viewpoint to be well-founded, I also believe that a liberal author would have just as much material to write a book. Yes, Mattera makes fun of the young liberal movement that culminated in Obama's election and yes, this book is sure to raise the ire of Democrats and liberals alike. But, what separates this book from the standard anti-liberal invective is that the author's voice is refreshingly youthful.
With "Obama Zombies", Jason Mattera is proof that a new generation of successful political pundits is beginning to make itself known. Jan 28, Rob Bryant rated it it was amazing.
Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation | David's Commonplace Book
Obama Zombies , subtitled 'How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation,' is a look into how President Obama won his bid for the presidency, and generally how the brainwashing of the young in America continues. It concentrates on how the left have centered their efforts on capturing the youth vote and the methods used. Mattera goes into depth on these things, and brings his own youthful banter into the fold with sarcastic critique.
If you have ever read Conservative Victory by Sean Hannity, Obama Zombies , subtitled 'How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation,' is a look into how President Obama won his bid for the presidency, and generally how the brainwashing of the young in America continues. If you have ever read Conservative Victory by Sean Hannity, then you will know what to expect in terms of the writing.
Hannity would provide some points, and then give his own dry sarcasm. Mattera does something similar to this, but with a much more vibrant approach. He touches on the media being in the bag for liberal policies, and how they swooned over Obama during the campaign. While all of us Conservatives know this, it never hurts to relive these things. He also goes on about how the campaign itself used technology to their advantage through websites like Twitter, Facebook, and Organizing for America Obama.
Not only that, but the use of text messaging and mining phone numbers of cell phones from the willing allowed the Obama campaign access to many, many people throughout the campaign. Chapter two definitely seemed like one of the most significant chapters in the book, and has some lessons for us on the right to learn from. Of course, he went after the elitists in Hollywood, calling them out on their videos of 'service' that they made after the election, as well as the musicians that helped get more young people on board prior to the election itself. He even wrote a special chapter reserved solely for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and as we all know, deservedly so.
They have been a big driving force for liberal viewpoints, unfortunately. MTV got a good bashing, too. After reading the crap they have been pulling, I see why I strayed from the channel so long ago. There are chapters on global warming, health care, and economics, which he explains how the younger people in our country are being swarmed with using emotional thought over everything and not challenging what they hear from the media, their professors, or other fringe lefty groups. Something he points out through the entire writing is that liberals teach kids to want to feel good. I noticed that he referenced Milton Friedman arguments on more than one occasion, which is always welcome.
He even referred to a quote by Adam Smith that Friedman seemed to love so much; call it 'The Affecting Paragraph,' if you will. I think most of us know which phrase I am talking about. At the end of the book, he gives his "Six-Point Battle Plan" to snap these kids out of their slumber. For instance, framing the message as it should be, not as the left frames them. Other points are utilizing the web and donating to causes that outreach to the youth with Conservative thought. Good comedic timing in the writing for sure.

This is a terrific, eye-opening book. Mattera pulls no punches regarding the liberal BS that inspired - er, brainwashed - a generation of "zombies" as he calls them, sold out the the "anointed one" himself. I especially enjoy his six-point battle plan at the end for awakening these zombies: Remember when the "anointed one" recently said, "those shovel-ready jobs weren't so shovel-ready? Have those sea levels gone down yet? How's all that hope and change feeling right about now?
Be smart with the message - this is, after all, a soundbyte generation. All I can say is, good stuff!! Dec 05, Brian S. Wise rated it it was ok. The problem is Jason Mattera.
