Summary: Libs, try Harder to make believe that you're in control!!!!!
Review: The "reviewer from Connecticut"'s comments (code for unilateral libel against Bush) incurred righteous anger in my practical-minded soul. In it, he masks his closet-liberal tendencies, by shamelessly posing as a "conservative". Yet all his views precisely succumb to the evil scourge that liberalism is, more so than if he was its poster-boy. He derides Bush as "having hijacked the Republican Party, with his "necon buddies", and used it to pursue a completely vicious and destructive extremist agenda, having subverted true conservative principles of protecting civil liberties and practicing fiscal discipline."In light of this uncontrollable extremism on HIS part, WILLFULLY devoid of ANY logical reasoning attributes, I'm now forced to educate him, so to curb the extremism that is all his own, in the way he leaps to conclusion. First of all, neoconservatism isn't a dirty, four-letter word. It seeks to spread American influence the world over, especially on the most barbaric places of the world (the ones the liberals rave over), and is diligent when it comes to putting words into action, by pursuing military actions against countries that won't comply with international mandates, and/or harbor terrorism. Segueing into the Iraq situation, most of the country's peaceful and stable, with the only resistance coming out of the moderately small Sunni Triangle, which is OF COURSE all that one gets force fed, through the liberal media that desperately wants American failure in Iraq, so they can continue to attack Bush for everything short of how the weather's doing. Further, the war was/is OBVIOUSLY legal, do to resolution 1441, years of UN violations on Hussein's part, and the UN's own mandate allowing for preemptive self-defense! Bush's foreign policy is neither vicious OR extremist, seeing as how rationale abides by the fact that action where the terrorists are avoids hundreds of 9/11's, tenfold! Since Syria, Iran and countless other Arab countries are sending their "freedom fighters" to "liberate" Iraq from the "Great Satan", that alone establishes terrorism ties to Iraq. Before any dummy lib resorts to attacking me, I'm not making a connection between Hussein and 9/11, only terminally braindead libs believe that Bush has ever made that connection. Further, "Connecticut reviewer"'s also slanderous relating to civil liberties. If not for the Patriot Act, 9/11's would be achievable at the will of terrorists-but....I guess that he'd rather like the government NOT to invade his privacy A LITTLE, if that means he can continue to send e-mails to other workers defaming his boss while on the job!!!!!!! Again, the war on terrorism FORCES rulebreaking when it comes to fiscal discipline; as 9/11, corporate scandal, fake jobs in internet companies, recession AND the stock market BUBBLE bursting all contributed to the current debt, which all happened under Clinton's stewardship. BTW, I AM A LIBERAL, and sick AND tired of my party's idiocies!!!!!

Summary: More Lies (or Stupidity) from the Right
Review: The anonymous reviewer who titled his "review" LIBERAL BIAS demonstrates the truth of Al Franken's book: the right lies. The mischaracterization of Franken's book offered by this person betrays that he or she has NOT read the book: none of the assertions made by this alleged reader are even remotely accurate with regard to Franken's book or Franken's stated opinions. (That the "reader" chooses anonymity reveals as well that he lacks the courage of his convictions, as seems to be the case with many of the reviewers with negative opinions. I guess it must be tough to stand behind one's review of a book when one hasn't actually read it.) If, in fact, this person has read the book, this "review" constitutes a willful misrepresentation of its contents and viewpoint: another lie. The only slightly charitable interpretation one can make is that the person actually read the book and believes his stated opinion to be accurate, which simply reveals an utter lack of reading comprehension, (another possible explanation for the right's distortions, unexplored by Mr. Franken).

Summary: It's all in here
Review: The answer to every piece of shoot-first-and-think-later conservative slander is in this book. A long overdue response to the hateful and dishonest discourse spewed by the far right, but not a response in kind. Of course, there will be those too fervent in their hatred and fear or just too slow to catch the irony throughout, but this book was not intended for the closed-minded. Sadly, many conservatives have not yet paid heed to the lessons Franken teaches: that it is better to admit when you're wrong (which Franken himself has done) than to lie to cover your tracks, that you can love America and be willing to challenge aspects of it to improve it, that respect can exist between conservatives and liberals, and that there's no such thing as "unbiased;" there are only admitted bias and lies. Honest throughout, Al tells stories he's proud of right alongside the ones that make him look admittedly foolish. This book is so well researched that not only does it stick it to the dishonest politicians and media figures it attacks, but it also leaves no room for the liars to squirm out again. Despite a lot of whining and protesting, not a single one of the "liars" has given any evidence to contradict anything said in this book, not even Bill "You gotta back it up!" O'Reilly.

Summary: You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll vote Democratic.
Review: The astounding hypocrisy and mendacity of this administration and the media toadies who do its bidding are all laid bare in this provocative and very funny book. Read it. Read it again. Then lend it to a friend--preferably one who watches Hannity and O'Reilly. Then stand back and watch his or her head explode!
Rating:
Summary: a must listen!
Review: The audio version is great! Al reads in a very engaging, conversational way, and his humor really comes across.
Rating:
Summary: Pablum for pampered neolibs
Review: The author is clearly diathetic, in this case premature prevarication, his brain addled by massive doses of silicic acid. Conservatives enjoy a Saturnian life, while liberals reckon with their isochronal bouts of nascent humanitarianism, moonstricken by Schadenfreude. I suspect that the author is an archanthropine and a budding Black Shirt. If not, then he should investigate the fistula to his brain.
Rating:
Summary: OUTSTANDING JOB!
Review: The beauty of this book is that Franken (unlike Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and the rest of the right-wing media zealots) actually does his homework! His TeamFranken has gathered a substantial amount of evidence to prove that the so-called "liberal bias" of the media is actually a myth. Bullying and shouting down those who disagree with you might work well for the Fox News anchors, but Franken puts the conservatives in their rightful place (pun intended) by being "funny and attractive". A must read for anyone who has asked themselves, "Why are the Republicans still blaming Clinton for everything when he's been out of office for more than 2 1/2 years?"
Rating:
Summary: Witty and smart
Review: The benefit of having someone like Al Franken throw his hat into the perpetual shouting match between liberals and conservatives is that, in Mr. Franken's case, he's actually entertaining to read, whether you agree with him or not. The book is well-researched, and his exposure of some shoddy research methods done by right-wing commentators/authors to back their belies is revealing of a disturbing trend we're seeing in journalistic standards, from all sides.
