Summary: Facts
Review: He actually backs up everything he says and tells you where you can find, this book is really great and lets you learn a lot about how politics works.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: He does it again! This book is even more damning to the right than "Limbaugh". I don't know if I could have made it through the Bush years without Franken and Michael Moore. "Lies" is devastating to the right and exposes their lies fully and unflinchingly. Share this book with a friend.

Summary: what is the truth?
Review: He has a tendency to footnote his own work to make it look like a fact. He is just as bad as any liar out there.

Summary: Franken Could Beat Up O'Reilly
Review: He may look nerdy, but when it comes to a good old fashioned fist fight, Al Franken can throw down. Unlike Bill O'Reilly, who's all talk and no guts. Frankophiles unite!
Rating:
Summary: Do yourself a favor...
Review: Hear this book on tape or CD. You will definitely enjoy Al's comic timing and vocal impersonations PLUS there are snippets of audio from Limbaugh that are as horrifically funny as they are disturbing. Then there are clips from the Wellstone memorial that are guaranteed to make you weep unless you are so damaged/screwed-up by your parents as to be unable.

Summary: Ouch!! That's got to hurt.
Review: Heh, I would say that Mr. Franken is beating the conservative blowhards at their own game except for the fact that he's not lying. Oh, he is lying you say? Maybe someone else should file suit against him like Fox. However, my only request is that you wait til the book slips down a few notches on the best seller list.
This book is hilarious and factual; the only thing that would make it more funny is if it weren't true.

Summary: What fun to see someone stand up to the Right
Review: Hello, fellow readers! I confess I am a liberal and have contributed to Emily's List for the past 6 years. I am a liberal because I am in the health care profession working with children and families, and I see first hand what comes of Republican policies. Therefore, Al Franken's book is right up my alley. I have not followed politics that closely in recent years, because it usually sickens me, but it was very interesting to read Mr. Franken's take on recent political tempests in teapots, such as the Paul Wellstone memorial. I particularly enjoyed the fact that Mr. Franken goes right to the source. He calls up the media or political figure that has lied about something, and confronts them with the lie, giving them the chance to respond appropriately. How sad that so few of them took responsibility for their lies once they were caught. I recommend this book to citizens of all belief systems: to conservatives, because they should think about getting their people to at least lie better and get some of their facts straight; to liberals, who hopefully will be galvanized into action surrounding upcoming elections and do what it takes to make America the compassionate leader it can and should be; and to the undecided, because it may help them decide and galvanize them to take more part in the political process themselves. Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them is a fast, thought-provoking, and funny, funny read. You go, Al!

Summary: Hilarious, Smart, and Delicious Fun
Review: Here Franken directs his savage wit at some of the most deserving targets: Coulter, O'Reilly, Bush and cronies, and other members of the foaming-at-the-mouth right wing. As he demonstrates in careful and convincing detail, they ARE liars -- and it's such a delight to see them called on it and mocked so beautifully, with such intelligence.No one should dismiss this book as mere comedy or satire, though -- its purpose is deadly serious. The fact is, much of the media (and the goverment) has been hijacked by people with an incredibly tenuous grasp of the truth, and a willingness to bend/ignore/skewer it for their own purposes. Franken has done us a great good by writing this book -- and Fox has done an almost equal favor by trying to sue Franken, and pushing this book to the top of bestseller lists. It's pretty clear why the spurious lawsuit happened -- O'Reilly looks like an absolutely maniacal, bullying fool here, and not just because his face is splotchy on the cover.

Summary: next time break the prozac in half.
Review: Here is a book that is based on the observations of a mental patient. As the title states, this book is based on lies of the left liberal socialists. Al should have got someone with cred to assist in the writing of this so called book. I gave it 1 star because it is good fiction, this book is not worth the paper its printed on, save your hard earned dollars and buy some real fiction.

Summary: al franken and liberals are going to H-E-L-L in a handbasket
Review: Here is one of the most notorious and lucid exposes of Al Franken's lies. Just type in this handy little URL into your web address bar: townhall.com, forward slash, columnists, forward slash, michellemalkin, forward slash, mm20030822.shtml You should get the filthy dirt on Al Franken pretending to be the self-righteously moral "martyr", leading his fellow insane left-wingers out of the desert, by unscrupulously stigmatizing the right as being the worst liars. Yet this four-eyed, coke-bottle glasses, middle-aged NERD is such a soullessly shameless LIAR, that he ACTUALLY used deceptive tactics to generate material WHILE writing this book which he falsifies is solely about right-wing "dishonesty". To preview, a little, within that provided address, Franken resorts to about 4 sub-lies within his gigantically broad lie of using Shorenstein Center stationary (that's right, the same cancerously twisted, radical left-wing elitists who helped compose his "book") to dupe John Ashcroft into sharing his experiences with abstinence. Franken again lied that Ashcroft's personal story would be used in a book he was writing about abstinence programs in our public schools. Which are, AGAIN, more lies based on original L-I-E-S. This brings me full circle to the dissolutely unprincipled "testimonies" from all these liberal-wrecked reviewers. How in the HELL can these unconscientious creatures NOT ONLY keep blackening the right as "viciously distorting everything", but also keep praising their superficially veneered, hero-jacka$$ Franken as a rolemodel of virtue?!?! Especially when this blatantly obscene lecher used falsehood as the methods with which to compose a "book" that supposedly points the finger at everyone EXCEPT for him and his side???
