Summary: Liars right here on Amazon!
Review: ...So, should you read this book? Well, the Amazon review by John Moe is right on the mark. Contrary to what you will read on the one-star reviews, Franken does back up his statements with facts and tries (and succeeds for the most part) to avoid name-calling. Some of the examples of the far-right that he provides are so extreme that they become comical. Bill O'Reilly saying "Shut up" over and over reminds me of a first-grader in a school yard that's losing an argument.Get this book, skim (or ignore as I did) the two questionable chapters (comic book style and Vietnam fiction), and you'll be very happy with your purchase.

Summary: FINALLY!
Review: ...Someone has put together a comprehensive, fact-backed and documented response to the constant barrage of trash coming out of the right wing media! I read this entire book in one (long) sitting. Suffice it to say I am purchasing several copies for my conservative buddies to contemplate. The humor kept me laughing (hysterically at times), but the facts made me angry, sad, and a little scared for our country. Buy it, read it, spread the truth...

Summary: As if we didn't know the Right Wing was full of hatred...
Review: ...the list of Right-Wing 'reviewers' on this site only confirms it.
I'm not really sure how calling Al a "commie" is really going to help anything...in fact that review alone made me want to buy four more copies of Al's hilarious book.
I don't categorically hate the Right - Hell, my brother married a (gulp) Republican, and I love her! (It's not her fault, it's how she was raised) - but I can't stand liars, and this book is full of them.
Well researched, funny, witty, and a hell of a lot smarter than most people "in power" these days, this book is a must-read for anyone who is smart enough to see through the lies the media and government feed us daily.

Summary: Al Franken tells the truth...
Review: ...which is why he'll never get a job at Fox News!!! After brilliantly harpooning Rush Limbaugh, Al Franken has taken on the larger and more important task of lampooning the Bush Administration and Bush's attack dogs -- the Hannitys, Coulters, and O'Reillys of the world. And he sets himself apart from the ultraconservative media ranters by actually telling the truth and backing it up with facts. Franken also manages to make us laugh out loud in the process of exposing those lies that are so harmful to America and her citizens. Great job, Al!!! P.S. -- It's obvious to see that "Lies and the Lyiang Liars Who Tell Them" has frightened many hard-core conservatives. However, I recommend to them that they read the book with an open mind and actually check out the facts that Al Franken sets out in his book. They may come away with a more balanced view of America.

Summary: Yawn
Review: .
Calling this book petty is giving Al too much credit. For his next earth-shattering expose Al can really call the Right-wingers to task for their continued misspelling of Q'daffi and K'homeini.

Summary: I can see clearly now, The liberal reign is gone!
Review: . This book has value, believe it or not. First, it's fun to see the liberals on the defensive for a change. Second, debunking Franken's bologna (or baloney, if you prefer) is a simple but enjoyable mental exercise. And third, it brings back memories of the good ol' days when the radical left dominated the media. Franken's subtitle, 'Fair and Balanced,' is a refreshing reminder that the days of yore when the left totally dominated the media (CNN = Clinton News Network) are gone forever; faded away in the mist of a moronic mind-set only the likes of Thom Cruise could enjoy (I know I spelled it wrong; it's a liability thing.) Hover, my dear liberal friends - if you will - around this final, latter-day glimmer of futility. Common sense conservatism is here to stay. And cheer up. It could be worse: Maybe someday we'll all be Barry Goldwater Libertarians. (Perish the thought, eh?) Also recommended: I enjoyed THE PRAYER OF HANNAH, even though it has no connection to Franken. Enter 'Gividen' in the search engine. It'll pop up.

Summary: Franken[nonsense]
Review: 1 Star, but 5 Terry McAllLaughs. At long last, a comic book narrative w/o dialogue balloons or panels The perfect Nutbar Leftist Bedside Companion that will eventually find its way on the mantle w/ "I Beg Your Marc Rich Pardon" and the complete "IS..IScyclopaedia Britannica". As hysterically funny and deranged as anything in "His Royal Flatulence's" (Michael Moore's) book or anything coming out of La Monde. I can only hope this Bespectacled Boobie, does INDEED become the Talk Radio Voice of the Doper Dems. At least America's streets will be safer during that time period. WARNING To The Aforementioned Sycophant buyers though: This hardcover edition is probably made w/ 1/3 real cannibis, but please don't smoke it. By the way Al, greater congratulations will be in order for your next opus, soon to be titled "WHINERS & WEENIES: A Love Affair With Malcontented Socialists". This former Democrat will be waiting in eager anticipation.

Summary: How to fight right-wing liars in 4 easy steps...
Review: 1) Get a Harvard Fellowship;
2) Build Team Franken: 14 very smart, very motivated Harvard undergrads;
3) Research research research;
4) Write a book about what you found out. Oh, and it helps to have the absolute dead-on wit, connections, smarts, and eye for detail of an Al Franken. This is a tonic for the soul of anybody that is tired of being tired about the baloney spewed on talk radio, Fox, and, increasingly, the so-called Liberal Media. Franken's book is not just a salve for the soul, its toolkit for those eager to break down the shaded truths, half-truths, and outright lies spawned by the W administration and its lackeys. Oh, and you get to live vicariously through Franken as he meets and matches wits with many of the liars (Rove, Hannity, O'Reilly) that people his book. And the part about Barbara Bush should not be missed.
