Summary: I hate 'em all
Review: Al Franken, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Michael Moore, Joe Conason, Bill O'Reilly, etc. I despise all of them.Grown adults who spew venom and act like children. All horrible people who make you want to take a shower after reading their bile. As another reviewer rightly pointed out, this is the 60's generation coming into their own: spoiled, intolerant, self-absorbed, materialistic whiners. Oh, and those people who blame 9/11 on either President Bush or President Clinton? Scum. Absolute scum who use that tragedy to advance their agenda. May the hottest place in hell be reserved for these idiots.

Summary: Hate, Ugliness, and Elitism
Review: Al Franken, ashamed of nothing, can be proud that he's made millions being, saying, and acting like those he is most famous for attacking. His elitist and partisan-typical liberal slant evoked in this book are the best evidence of his inability to reach the mainstream of the US. His one-sided rants on the media, conservatives, the President, etc. are humorless and based on supposition and radical liberal theory. His book is ugly, hateful, and worst of all, factless. But give him some credit -- pander to the most radical of the left, make a few millions, then move on -- he may be a disgusting example of the worst of the far left (or far right for that matter) but he knows how to sell his sickness. For comparison sake, he is as out of the mainstream on the left with the Al Gore's and Hillary Clinton's as Jerry Fallwell and Michael Savage are on the right. If you want to read something that is based on evidence, fact, and research, read Hannity or Zell Miller. I'll never stop being amazed that there are so many sheep out there who will follow such a hate-monger when there are Democrats and liberals out there who have class, can debate and speak with tact, and oh yeah, base their opinions on facts. You'd never see such putrid trash from John Kennedy, the hero of heroes ofthe left (despite their refusal to admit that JFK was no liberal like his out of touch brother). Don't buy this book, but for a laugh, borrow it so you know what you're up against with the Deans, Kerrys, and Ted Kennedys of the world. Oh, by the way, so as not to seem like one of the sheep, I'm a proud pro-choicer & supporter of gay marriage - a Drudge-readin' small business & Patriot Act loving agnostic who would fight tooth and nail to lower taxes, fight terrorism just the way we are, and re-elect Bush.

Summary: From SNL to Politics-Franken makes you laugh at the truth
Review: Al Franken, best known for his work on SNL, has been writing political criticisms for quite some time. Each and every one of his books follow the same path: humor and truth. In his latest book, Franken dives into the liberal media bias found today on primary television networks such as ABC News and FOX News. His biggest fight is with FOX News analysts and the companies CEO, Robert Murdoch. Franken unveils some lies (hence the title) told from some of the most recognizable commentators in the US, in particular Bill O'Reilly. Franken breaks down every theory he proposes with near perfect evidence from photo-copied documents to actual phone conversations with the demons themselves. In terms of authenticity, Franken does not miss. Other topics take a closer look at Ann Coulter, the ABC News correspondent that makes more fictitious claims than heart beats. Franken doesn't only target the media bias, but also the more "stupid" attempts of making Liberals seem evil. One example being the 2000 presidential election in which the Republicans blamed the ex-president for neglecting Terorism (which of course is not true). Not to worry, TeamFranken is there to save the day. The entire 400 book takes off with a blast and keeps you laughing and shaking your head from beginning to end. If there is one criticsm, it lies with the inflation of a few chapters towards the end of the book ( for example, a 12 page Jesus cartoon). Now that 2004 has started and primaries are just around the corner, do yourself a favor and educate yourself with this great book. Franken, whatever you're doing...keep doing it.

Summary: A waste of good trees
Review: Al Franken, himself an admitted liar, has stooped to a new low. Apparently Mr. Franken fancies himself as some sort of Ann Coulter wannabe, only representing the liberal slant. Politics aside, Franken falls far short of Ms. Coulter's works. The writing is pathetic, the so-called facts are loose at best, and the self-promotion is sickening. Rather than promote the agenda of the left, Franken manages to twist the message into nothing but a hate fest of the right. A disgusting piece of drivel. I highly suggest anyone considering purchasing this "book" rethink that decision. A total waste of good trees.

Summary: Distortion of Truth is Hardly Fair and Balanced
Review: Al Franken, holding true to the current vicousness oozing from the disheartened left, is set out to comment on current events from a very selctive, self-serving filter. His book is mostly a presentation of unsupported opinion packaged as facts. Furthermore to substantiate his views, or as he likes to believe are facts, he offers no support that can withstand critical analysis. His book can be best summarized as a distortion and revision of truth.

Summary: Love it - love it- love it-love it-
Review: Al Franken, I loved this Book. I read it on my way to the Hamptons and could not put it down. I would laugh out loud driving down the highway. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for exposing the liars at FOX News. They should be ashamed of themselfs. I hope the general public gets it soon that FOX News is a direct arm of the Repulican Party. Bill O'lielly, Sean Hannity and Brit Hume are liars. Wake up America!

Summary: LiberalsAreOnVergeOfSurrenderingtheUStoFrance
Review: Al Franken, like ALL liberals, likes universal health care, loves regulation of companies, likes for the gov't to encourage people to STOP working hard by passing out welfare and worker's comp, loves to betray his country to inferior/jealous world opinion AND likes to join those same inferior/jealous countries in bashing America. Except----wait a sec...---he's also from America!!!!! Goes to show one how much bitter self-hate liberals have-----because they're always looking to succumb to EU opinions. In short: Franken and the libs want to destroy the Republic of America--with its unmatched productivity and greatest earning per head--into a faulty socialist nightmare, exactly like recession-steeped France and Germany. Their woes are partially to blame on their idiotic, socialistic laws, where lazy French and Germans get paid NOT to work, as they're bumming around on beaches!!!!!!!!! Judge this book by those facts. If this is what's in Franken's and liberals' minds: JUST SAY NO TO LEFTISTS.

Summary: same old song and dance
Review: Al Franken, Michael Moore, Molly Ivins... all examples of how members of the far left are willing to pander to the lowest common denominator. Gone from their pages are the truth, with ideas that are void of anything new or positive. It is amazing that they are able to fill these books with nothing more than biased words of hate. Even more amazing is there are people out there who find their works to be fun, or god forbid educational. Come on folks, Al, Mike and Molly are siding with those who would call Republican minority judicial nominees "dangerous". Listen to the diatribe that is spewed forth from the leftist in this country. Then think about it, why do they only attack, why do you hear the same old line regurgitated by every democratic canidate. Is it because maybe they have not an original thought between the lot of them? If you believe that bigger government is the answer, and Hillary had a great idea with socialized health care then follow those paths to liberalism. Further hate of an otherwise popular President will get you nothing but frustration and an ulser that is going to last another 4 years. All I ask is that the public start thinking for themselves, and unfortunately these leftist authors do not allow you to draw your own conclusion. They lead you to the trough and will also lead you to your slaughter.
