New Ralph Reed novel treats women as ‘tarts who use sex to get ahead.’
Ralph Reed, formerly Christian Coalition executive director and friend of Jack Abramoff, has his first novel coming out. Publisher’s Weekly publishes a review of “Dark Horse,” a book that promises to demean both women and liberals:
For Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, politics is a man’s world to its very core—especially when it comes to the race for president, which is at the center of this first novel. Women characters are either wives with drinking problems, tarts who use sex to get ahead professionally (but not that far) or VP candidates chosen purely for show, who are belittled behind the scenes for lack of experience and “lightweight” intelligence. Democrats are drunks who play dirty and bloody each other’s noses. Cue the white knight—Gov. Bob Long, newly come to Christ, a true independent candidate—to save the day, rock both parties’ worlds and remind the country about good values and the meaning of patriotism. Long is God’s candidate, and with Christian leaders taking his side, he just might trump Republicans and Democrats alike. Reed’s prose is average for a potboiling political thriller, and the crisis-laden plot keeps the pages turning, but the novel’s specifically Christian agenda will satisfy some readers and alienate others.

And how much do you want to bet that he didn’t even write the book. Many people with names that may sell hire actual authors to write the book and then put their name on it. He probably came up with the plot, but I bet he didn’t really write the book.

April 24th, 2008 at 8:07 pmReed has bruises all over his little carcass from women touching him with 11-foot poles all his miserable life.

Well, of course. I would be surprised if he didn’t include the good husband roundly beating his tart of a wife, too. I mean if you are gonna go for it, go for it.
Democrats are drunks who play dirty and bloody each other’s noses.
And goopers diddle little kids and get down and nasty in public restrooms.
I wish dems would get dirty already! The country needs it!

I dont think this book will do well, the Christians arwe wise to the shennanigans of Abramoff and his crony’s
I dont think this book will do well.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:11 pmIn conservative political circles, you can’t keep a bad man down; he’ll just come back and write a novel. And so comes word that former Christian Coalition wunderkind, Jack Abramoff crony and failed Georgia GOP candidate Ralph Reed is joining Scooter Libby, Lynne Cheney and Bill O’Reilly among the pulp pushers of the right.
For the details, see:
April 24th, 2008 at 8:14 pm“Ralph Reed Joins Scooter Libby as Right-Wing Novelist.”
“New Ralph Reed novel treats women as ‘tarts who use sex to get ahead.’”
Works just as well without the words “New” and “novel”.

I’m not surprised that he demeans women and liberals. What I did find out though is that he was caught plagiarizing in the past. Considering the company he keeps not shocking.

April 24th, 2008 at 8:35 pmWhat a wonderful story line.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:35 pmThey use sex to get ahead???
Huh, I thought that all the successful women that I knew got ahead by being competent and smart.
It all makes sense now!

This character was developed from the life and postings of TP’s very own beloved “Daryll”.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:46 pmThe title gives it all away.

You can get anything for a price. Yuckkkkkk….

April 24th, 2008 at 8:50 pmABC news in Denver reports:
Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer. He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.

Inciting violence???? Gotta be…
Perhaps the Fat Man knows Botch will pardon him, no matter what…
Kinda like a “Get Out of Jail Free” card…
April 24th, 2008 at 8:55 pmSounds good. How is it classified, fiction or non-fiction? ;)

Wow! That’s a first!
April 24th, 2008 at 8:59 pmJust goes to show that anybody can write a book; it’s take a true idiot to pay for it.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:02 pmRalph Reed will be back in the White House if Teflon John McCain gets in office. Then he will make sure his friends Jack and Duke are released. The South will raise again. No need for immigrants Blacks can do their job. Gonzo will have a job in the fields. Obama will finally find out what it was like being a Black American and Mrs. McCain already knows what he husband thinks of her.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:03 pmNews flash: Rush said something stupid in order to “shock” the media.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:03 pmYawn.
Totally expected from a sick little superstitious closeted corrupt fascist fcuk like Reed. Let’s you really look into the mindset of these repulsive subhuman slims.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:07 pmI’m sure it will join Scooter’s potboiler as an all time sick fest.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:14 pmThanks, Zooey,
April 24th, 2008 at 9:47 pmThere are more responses at the Zoo — this is truly an illegal act by the lintball. He has already issued the word so there will be trouble, surely. Remember that he influenced the vote in some primaries with his directives to his braindead listeners.
Another “Closeted Gay!”
April 24th, 2008 at 9:48 pmAnother trashy book from a crook. Look for Reed’s sex pot book in the 99 cent store next to the trashy books of Scooter Libby and Lynn Cheney.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:59 pmReed can pass the book around to his buddies in prison? He’s such a slime-ball.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:43 pm.
It isn’t that Reed hates women, so I won’t ask why he hates ‘em. We all know Ralph loves a good girl who’s bad behind closed doors… wink*wink
So, why does Ralph Reed USE women and objectify them?
He obviously doesn’t respect the female gender.
Ladies… Any clue?

April 25th, 2008 at 1:22 amMy how the mighty has fallen.
Or, in this case, the not so mighty. With Reed it is hard to separate fiction from fantacy. Whichever one it is, it shows a sick, perverted mind. This book can only appeal to others with a sick, perverted mind. That said, it will be interesting to see which media outlets let Reed hawk his book on their shows and which sponsors would allow their name to be associated with the hawking of Reed’s book. This is boycott making material.
April 25th, 2008 at 8:47 am“Gov. Bob Long”
Geez, use the bob as verb meaning and this isn’t much a a freudian slip is it?
April 25th, 2008 at 9:34 amRalph Reed- carrying on the proud white man’s tradition of ripping off Indians for political gain.
