Summary: Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
Review: I very rarely give 5 stars to a book. (Treason by Ann Coulter is an exception). But this was the #2 book on my list in 2003.Mr. Hannity writes with great passion and inspiration. He cuts through the muck on subjects such as education and immigration.
I came away much more knowledgable of the liberal media machine. You wont be disappointed. The book was hard to put down. Absolutely a must buy!

Summary: Hannity's so dumb.
Review: Well Hannity is generally regarded as the dumbest of the right-wing radio/tv nutters, and this book will show you why. He seems to think that the "liberals" are a threat to freedom in the US, which is basically just as paranoid as that bin laden under the bed hysterics sweeping through the US. I'd say, not as a left-wing idealist, but as a person with common sense that the real threat to American freedom comes from the far right-wing republicans, who seemingly have only the interests of select upper class people in mind. An perfect example of this is the Bush administrations gradual destruction of the American constitution by patriot act 1 and 2. So remember people that there is a very fine line between this type of republicanism and fascism, and if there were no liberals in your country as seems to be Hannities ideal America, well, you'd soon see the ugly face of far right republicanism not kept in check by liberalism. Essentially Hannity's book is written with the subjectivism of a person born with a silver spoon in their mouth, of upper class, and who displays an arrogant contempt for anyone different to him. So I bid you, rather than add to this greedy fools wealth, DONT buy his filthy book, instead buy michael moore's "Dude, wheres my country".

Summary: Pitiful polemic
Review: Mr. Hannity is an intellectual pygmy who has never expressed on original idea. He is a poor debater and an embarrassment to many thinking Republicans. How could someone of ilk get so far? Only in America, regrettably.

Summary: Hannity goes to far...
Review: Hannity is quite clearly an intellectual midget. On top of that, his arch-conservative ideas are just plain crazy! His ideas on economics are bad enough, but when I got to the chapter about eating babies I almost threw up. At first I thought it was a joke. "Eating babies?" I thought, "no one could be that callous." But sure enough, Hannity wants to feed the poor their own babies. Now cannibalism is bad enough, but isn't eating your own relative some sort of incest as well? I may be wrong about that, but I know one thing, I am against Hannity's cannibalistic solution to poverty. After being thouroughly disgusted by the baby eating chapter I went on to read Hannity's chapter on immigration. To those who haven't read the book I'll just outline his policy here (I won't give away the surprise ending). Put simply, Hannity wants to completely open our borders. Thats right, completely open. Now you might be saying "completely open? Why that sounds somewhat unconservative, even (gasp) liberal!" To which I would reply "Don't interrupt me you ignorant jerk, I wasn't finished." After completely opening the borders Hannity suggests we build massive internment camps in the Southwest. We would round up all immigrants from Asia, Mexico, and South and Central America, briefly house them in the internment camps, then sell them to Sudanese slave traders. Come on Hannity! Not only is that plan cruel and illegal, it's unoriginal too! Reagan totally proposed that in 1985, only instead of Sudanese slave traders it was Chinese squid boat captains. If you do read the book, the surprise ending is a 'killer' ;). I won't list all of Hannity's outrageous ideas, but a few I just have to briefly mention. These ideas are (in no particular order); making Bush king of America, invading New Mexico (in Hannity's defense I think he confused Mexico with New Mexico), outlawing homosexuality (while oddly enough legalizing bestiality, go figure), and "cold-cocking the King of France." Wow. To anyone who read this far thank for reading my long winded response and please, for the love of all that is good and holy, do not believe everything that Hannity says (despite his many arguments Al Franken is not now nor ever was seeking a sex change operation). Thank You.

Review: I haven't read it and I wouldn't read his crappy right-wing arrogant ideas. Hannity is an upperclass idiot. Fox should fire him.

Summary: What Colmes Wishes He Could Say!!!
Review: When any self respecting intellegent American opens up the dictionary and looks up the words boorish, liar or ignorant, Sean Hannity's picture should be right next to it, in all it's chubby faced glory!. Shallow Angry Republican propaganda from the new King of Bile. This book makes excellent toilet paper, my sphincter was clean as a whistle. Poorly written and factually biased. For Mental Pygmies only.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I would just like to say how much I enjoyed this book. It only took me a few days to read and is definitely a page-turner. He makes many good points and backs them up with FACTS. America is the greatest country in the world to live in. Mr. Hannity proves this time and time again in his book. If only everyone can have the utmost respect and patriotism as he does, the world would be a better place. Those who dwell on the negative should pick up this book and learn something from it. He truly loves his country and is proud to be an American. I can also say the same. Let Freedom Ring!

Summary: Its America, Anyone Can Write A Book
Review: In America anyone can write a book, but the trick is to get a publisher. The media people have a leg up - so almost every radio personality or TV commentator has a book or a bio. Okay that is fine. But are the books any good. If it were not a FOX personality would the book be published?? Hannity is an attractive an energetic person. Many of his views are okay, some are not, but we like the radio show and many watch himon FOX. We like the callers and Marty's daily call, and I sing along to "Let Freedom Ring". Okay all that is fine. But the books do not translate so well and are just so so. I think if it were not for the radio/FOX there would be no book. Not enough literary and social value. It is just a personal philosphy of Hannity and not a basis for a book. My humble opinion. Jack in Toronto

Summary: From a moderate, that's right, objectivism!
Review: Out of concern that I have abandoned my conservative upbringing, my brother bought me this book for Christmas to try to "win me back" to the "good side." To show him what I thought of the book, I gave him Marx this year, not because I'm a communist, but because Hannity is as extreme in a lot of ways. Hannity makes a few worthy points (I did give me him 2 stars), but on the whole, this book is little more than conservative propaganda. Hannity is a cheerleader, and nothing more. He does not raise any real issues in the books, but rather tells about how he is right, and half the country is wrong. His style is informal and overly simplistic, so it's hard to understand his tone. Sometimes he says such absurd things that I tell myself he simply must be joking. One of the most telling indexes of Hannity's manipulation in this story is the way he uses the term "Clinton-Gore administration." He does not associate any other president with his vice-president, but since Gore is still active in the political spotlight, and everything he says about Clinton is negative, he associates Gore with him. Now don't get me wrong, I am far from a Gore-lover, but did he really have anything to do with anything that happened the 8 years Clinton was in office? To try to shed light on some of the half-truths would take a book as long as Hannity's, but I will point to one other. He talks about the letter Clinton wrote to a col. during the Vietnam War. He says that Clinton openly proclaims that he hates the military, when he does no such thing. He tells the col. that he can see why some people do, but not that he does. Hannity even quotes it directly. He also says that Clinton justified the 9/11 attacks when he did no such thing; Clinton just pointed to other historical events to try to explain why people would do such monstrous things. Hannity never tries to explain why the attacks happened, probably because they happened because of narrow-minded, egotistical westerners like Hannity who are so busy loving themselves and their culture that the fail to see what is really happening in the world. Hannity's egocentric world-view is dangerous, and his inability to understand cultural relitivism is one reason he cannot explain any of the "why"s associated w/ terrorism.

Summary: How dare he?
Review: Dear reader,
Despite the title of this review, I actualy intend to analyze this book, or what little of it I could stomach. Because I count myself a liberal, when I saw the title I wondered: How could a man who never met me presume to write a book about how I am the scum of the earth? I wondered this after I read this book too, but that was before I read Ann Coulter. She's funny, and horribly, horribly wrong. The fact is this: I can quote Newt Gingrich and still have evidence that his title is itself a lie. Ready? Here goes: "It was the liberal wing of the Democratic party that ended segragation." Now, given that the title implies that liberals, and thus by extension, democrats, would love segragation, who else finds it odd that a prominent conservative would credit liberals withe ending segragation. And one last question directed at Sean Hannity: "How, even in all of Dante's 7 circles of Hell, could you ever have presumed to say that I, and most of my friends, were evil? How could you ever say such an evil statement?
