Review: Thank you so much Al. This book really opened my eyes. Everyone should read this book.My only complaint is that I would get so mad after reading some chapters I could not get to sleep.

Summary: Way to go
Review: Thank you TeamFranken for doing the research and Al for getting it into print. I think I've been waiting for this book and hope many, many people read it. The exposure of the media bias in the campaign itself is worth the read. Meanwhile, notice how the one-star reviews on this site resort to name-calling and invective with no substantial critique?

Summary: Loving America the Al Franken Way
Review: Thank you, Al Franken! Thanks for proving that truth can prevail and we can raise above the mindless name-calling and taunting and deliver a book that is both funny and insightful (and, perhaps inciteful as well). Operation Ignore made me angry and Supply Side Jesus was brilliant. Now I can watch Fox News and laugh my butt off!

Summary: BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Thank you, Al Franken, for putting the truth to the lies that have been spewed relentlessly from the rightwing for over a decade. If only there were more of you willing (and able) to debunk the propagandistic lies of the rightwingers and the bushies. I have to admit, I'm only up to chapter 21, but felt the need to come on here to amazon.com and review what I've read. I imagine that Ann Coulter (if she really knows how to read and understand) is belting down a few stiff ones before cranking up her old 'puter to rebut the "vicious, liberal lies" [my words, and probably not as hateful as the words she will use] that YOU spew. Hahaha... Thank you for providing FOOTNOTES that actually have FACTS in them (as opposed to Coulter's endnotes that her followers obviously didn't read and/or comprehend). I especially liked your Chapter 13 entitled "Bill O'Reilly: Lying, Splotchy Bully." I'm glad you kept the splotches on the cover (smile), and included his absolutely hilarious meltdown on Booknotes. That Booknotes, with my other favorite author, Molly Ivins, made my day, I can tell yah! And I have to agree with your wife...I also thought he was about to ram that pen he was holding right into your eyeball. Keep up the great work! I'm taking my partisan rearend back to the couch where I can continue reading your book, AND THE FOOTNOTES. :) (Further review on the content of your excellent book will follow once I've completed it. After all, I should be fair and balanced. Oops...hope I don't get sued...) You're the best.

Summary: Right On Al!
Review: Thank you, Al, for writing this book! We need people who will "out" the lies told by right-wing ideologues and bullies like Bill O'Reilly--and do so with with wit and satire. They have been getting away with their twisted, dishonest rants for too long, while moderate and liberal fact-finders refute them with too much domesticated civility, and even temerity. Never, in this book, even when you ridicule them mercilessly (which they deserve)do you stoop to the low levels they display (that is, you don't lie). The fact that your book, as I write this, has 1689 customer reviews (good and bad) means that you are being read, that you are getting the message out. And that is critically important. Once again, Thanks.

Summary: Hooray for Team Franken
Review: Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Franken. This book is a wonderful antidote to the barrage of BS we have been subjected to by Faux News, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and of course our Liar In Chief. The "Operation Chickenhawk" chapter is so funny it brought tears to my eyes. The right-wing finally gets its comeuppance in this book. I hope it sells millions!

Summary: Truth Teller
Review: Thankfully, the rest of us, meaning the majority of Americans, have found some voice for our outrage in Franken's new book. While the extremist right can have a campaign to load these reviews with one star attacks, anyone who actually takes the time to read it and learn about the truly sociopathic level of lies being presented to the the public, will appreciate Mr. Franken's courage in taking these people on and exposing their deceit. I only hope he will inspire more like-thinking authors.

Summary: Exciting Read
Review: Thanks Al! I'm not usually classified a "Liberal" in fact I share a lot of Conservative tendencies on things like taxes. However, unlike a true conservative I've got enough sense to see crap for what it is... and what is spewed by the right wing press and the Bush Administration is that in spades! Franken's new book caught my interest mainly because Fox tried to quash it. Anytime a major network or corporation goes after a book and tries to have it withdrawn or censored it signals to me that there's something there that is VERY important. So, when I found it I bought it... and am I glad I did. Al takes a the scalpel of logic and the chainsaw of truth to America's own Al-Jazeera network - Fox News. In the process he shows us Anne Coulter's hidden contempt for her own readers - she thinks they're idiots (and maybe she's right). He shows us how the Bush Administration could have prevented 9/11 if they hadn't been so busy inventing fake stories about White House vandalism. He shows us the hypocrisy and downright psychotic behavior of Fox pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. Finally, he shows how the Bush Tax Plan was a total joke... not with stories of "families" but with - gasp - numbers! This is a great book, fun to read, but more than that... important to read. The next time someone starts quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial (notoriously inaccurate) at you... you'll have some ammunition. Al's done what most of wish we had time to do... fact check Fox and show them and their bosses in the Bush Administration as the liars we all know they are. Oh, and Clarence Thomas is handkerchief head for throwing the presidency to his wife's boss. Just kidding... but kidding on the square!

Summary: A book that should be required reading in every high school
Review: Thanks Al, for telling it like it REALLY is. Using humor (sorely lacking from the anger, hate filled right), and facts (also in short supply from the Republican side), Mr. Franken exposes the lies and the liars that abound in our country, starting with the Chief Liar himself, Bush. Who knew that Clinton gave "greater priority to terrorism than any president before him", and that the Republicans fought him every step of the way? We do now! Hopefully this book will inspire and educate enough people out there to throw out the illegitimate president we have now come November.
