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
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
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] Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin also praised Obama Zombies.[1] To promote his book, Mattera granted interviews to various media outlets, such as The Michigan Review, a conservative student newspaper at the University of Michigan.[3] On broadcast media, Mattera was a guest on the Fox News Channel program Hannity[4] and radio programs The David Pakman Show[5][6] The Thom Hartmann Program.[7]
