Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right

Rating:
Summary: All "Loyal" Americans should read this book
Review: It's very funny and also quite sad and demonstrates just how far the Right (Wrong ?) wing have taken political discourse in this country. Mr. Franken connects the dots between Shrub and a number of current events and adds details behind the scene about the ideologues who run the country and the zealots who blast anyone who disagrees.

Rating:
Summary: Its a Shame
Review: Its a shame that people in this country have come to rely on (not funny) comedians for their political information. As much as I despise liberal media in general, I can at least respect other authors who approach such a subject with professionalism and relative knowledge of the subject. Don't read this book for political enlightenment. Read it for *shudder* a good laugh... mostly at how biased and uninformed it is.

Rating:
Summary: At last someone shooting down the conservative jerks
Review: Its good to see that someone with a brain (and a sense of humor) took up the challenge to show how moronic these conservative spim masters are. I hope this book tweeks the nose of every foaming at the mouth conservative moron.

Rating:
Summary: zzzzzzzzzz
Review: Its not that I'm an ultra conservative, I'm not. This just is not interesting stuff. Franken creates lies to prove the lies told by the other side are lies. When will there be someone for the mass middle of the roaders?

Summary: Al is still a moron
Review: Jesses Ventura in politics, and now Al Franken is the self procalimed American political analyst. He is the kind of moron that Ann Coulter eats for breakfast.

Rating:
Summary: Slander
Review: Just a hatefull book with nothing but slander. Why I read this is beyond me. There seem to be more lies or truth distortion in this book than the company he slams! Horrible book.

Rating:
Summary: The Political Left's Retreat From "Treason"
Review: Just after a right wing Republican tries to do the impossible (support and justify former demigogue Joeseph McCarthy while at the same time finger point and name call, The Left responds with more of the same. This is not a researched, dedicated book- just pure and clean name-calling. There is little if any evidence to back up the Lies that franking mentions, probably less that in "Treason" Also, it is most assuradly not a fair and balanced look at the right, but a slanderous attackon it. The book holds back no works do inexplicably descibe the right (the wrong way)

Rating:
Summary: More cheese with your whine, sir?
Review: Just another in a series of whinings from the left. Al Franken takes small points and blows them into major issues. Anyone with a brain knows that in order to maintain the views held by the average liberal, lying is vital. Yet, Mr. Franken feels that pointing fingers at conservatives is the best way to cover his own tracks. Maybe it works with some people, but hopefully most will see him for what he is.

Rating:
Summary: Humorous, but....
Review: Just because things are funny does not make them accurate. Al Franken as well as Ann Coulter are guilty of the same problem; they use humor and insults in an attempt to make people see their point. That's fine if you are writing for sheer entertainment value, not so much if serious political commentary is your goal. Mr. Franken may be a very talented writer and a somewhat smart guy, that, however, does not mean he has a clue as to how this country should be handled. If you are looking for a comedic look at politics, read this book. For those of you who are looking for serious political commentary, look elsewhere.
