Summary: Extremely Funny and TRUE!
Review: Al is the best. He is funny, witty and tells the truth about the GOP. Ann Coulter is so full of it and Al points that out. If you are a blinders wearing right winger you won't want to read this book and wouldn't understand it anyway. If you are independent and want a different point of view you will love this book.

Summary: What Right Wingers Fear Most - Exposure and Ridicule
Review: Al lessens the blow from what is our society's greatest tragedy, the right wing's mass emergence from under the various rocks from which they collectively crawled. Confronted with viewpoints more appropriate for the enemies of democracy (E.g., "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power" - Mussolini), Franken fights back the way he does best, with his unique style of fact-based satire. Franken's humor educates and evidences that the blustering spins, lies, and propaganda from the menagerie of corporate shills and swills on the right can be as funny as they are wrong. E.g., Al shows us that the military bravery of the "chickenhawks" on the right is limited primarily to that of sacrificing others - and that the religion formerly known as Christianity, what Al lampoons with his "Supply Side Jesus", the Jesus embraced by the right, has nothing to do with the Jesus portrayed in the Bible. The only thing funnier than Al's book is Fox's hillarious failure to censor it with a frivolous lawsuit. How does that old saying go? "Trying times do unlikely heros make?"
Laugh, then be inspired by this remarkable and brave comedian/freedom fighter.

Summary: Al Franken Rocks!
Review: Al points out what is pretty clear. Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity et al are so pumped up on ego that they have little or no regard for the truth. I often feel that they have chosen to bash liberals just for the money... for I really don't see how anyone with a brain could truly believe the vile b.s. that they spout.
"Lies..." does a good job of pointing out the modus operandi of these liars. Sorry Ann, Rush, Bill, & Sean fans... sometimes the truth hurts.

Summary: Foster democracy, read this book!
Review: Al presents a wonderful, informative look into the world of the media. He leaves you with no anger at the majority of liberals or conservatives in the general public, only a wary distrust of the loud and aggresive tactics used by the minority controlling the far right. Very interesting book, which he seems to encourage you to take with a grain of salt, since his entire point seems to be that we shouldn't immediately accept what commentators say at face value. And WHY are people suggesting that we read "Treason" instead of this book? If you don't like Al Franken, there have GOT to be lots of conservative books that are much better and intelligent than "Treason". I tried to read it, out of curiousity, and it is almost unintelligible. I'd probably agree with a lot of conservative values if they'd get some spokespeople out there who seemed honest and intelligent.

Summary: Lies........Yes Al you do !!
Review: Al sure knows how to pile the crap deep & wide. I'd like to see him back up his claims with REAL facts. Just another spin-meister that is grabbing the money and making a run. Save you money and your time.....bathroom walls make better reading!

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Al tells it like it is, an opponent far too worthy for the likes of fools like O'Reilly, Coulter and Michael Savage. This isn't mud slinging like his far right counterparts, these are FACTS, something that hasn't been used by the right in their effort to expose the "truth" about us "evil" liberals. If this book fills you with rage and inspires you to write a slander review, ask yourself why. What are you so afraid of? Freedom of speech to converatives basically means "Say anything you want....but don't complain or protest the government. Get the hell outta here ya stinkin' commie, yeee haw!". The reason this country began was people protesting government practices! The "right wingers" of those days where the Loyalist Torries who despised the revolutionaries much the way modern neo-cons hate liberals, kinda ironic. We have every right to disagree as you have to agree. I call myself a liberal, I don't condemn people for covering their SUV with flags 2 years after 9/11 or cheering and championing our armed forces as if they where a popular sports team while they go off to make war on a third world nation. I may not agree with it, but you know what? I have a right not to, and so do you neocons.

Summary: Franken At His Funniest
Review: Al tells it like it is. Funny, brutal, a little nasty and far better reasoned and researched than anything published by Coulter, O'Reilly or any of their knockoffs. Interesting reconstruction of the Paul Wellstone memorial and the hypocrisy of Senator Bill Frist who authorized vicious, misleading attack ads against Wellstone and then had the gall to profess his sorrow to the Wellstone family saying "It wasn't personal." Clearly, Frist is betting there is no just God in Heaven.
