Summary: A Complete Waste of Time
Review: What a load of garbage this book is. Some idiot right-wing wacko from our neighborhood gave me this book to read the other day.

All I can say is Sean is a crazed nut-case know-it-all of the same mind-set as Coulter and Limbaugh.

Hey Sean -- what a great job your hero Bush is doing in Iraq... what great planning by such "great minds".

How many of you chickenhawks served in the military?? So eagar to let others fight and die for your worthless causes. Where are those WMD's Sean?

And now you repugs want to take another $87 billion of OUR money to fix YOUR mess?

In 2004, WE will win the war when your repug backers are thrown out of office. Only then will the USA be able to restore some credibility in this world.

Summary: A Major Dimwit! Chock-Filled with Lies and Distortions
Review: I cannot believe that a sane publisher would print this tripe. However, upon reflection, and realizing that publisher want to make a lot of money, I withdraw that. Of course, they would publish this baloney! It will sell! Millions of copies to the kinds of poltroons and airheads that Hannity, Limbaugh and Coulter trade on. These credulous fools will believe anything that this liar and his cohorts foist upon them.

Just simply go through this book. Step One: Find an assertion about any "democrat" or "liberal."
Step Two: with a pink hilighter, mark all the adjectives, adverbs and assertions that are clearly opinion, polemic or slander.
Step Three: with a yellow hilighter, mark all the assertions of supposed fact and Step Four: with a blue hilighter, mark all the conclusions.
Now for the big Step Five: go on google or (heaven forbid!) go to the library and spend one hour researching that assertion and those alleged facts.
I've done this and my results: Eight out of Ten "Facts" are lies or distortions. His conclusions are even more laughable.

Save your money! Buy almost any other book. Get Mr. Roger's new posthumous book. It's not mean-spirited like this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Strong and Challenging
Review: Let's say it up front: If you don't like strong opinions, don't buy this book. Again: If you are stuck in your own mental rut and unwilling to come out, this is not for you.

But if you are willing to listen, if you are openminded and thoughtful, then you will want to read this book. It is chock full of personal anecdotes, shocking facts, and compelling analysis. You very well may not agree with everything or even anything it says, but you should stand up and take note. This is a book to be reckoned with.

Bells throughout history have tolled for various reasons. They ring to sound an alarm. They toll to mourn death. They sound forth in brilliant music to bring hope and bravery.

Sean Hannity's book does all these things. Let Freedom Ring.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wear a little more makeup, Sean.
Review: Is Sean Hannity a closet homosexual? You be the judge. "Let Freedom Ring" features Hannity railing against what he considers the decay of modern society, and it's obvious that one of his main concerns--no, obsessions--is male homosexuality. Hannity goes so far as to relate a story about his fixation with gay "fisting" (no joke--read the book) and ponders this subject, in which he has an evident emotional and libidinous investment, over the course of several pages. One would assume that he disapproves of this practice--but does the lady protest too much?

Also note Hannity's makeup-laden face on the cover as he smiles flirtatiously for his rugged, working-class male audience. Is this a subliminal message? What about his loathing for women, as exemplified in his numerous haughty references to Hillary Clinton, whose feminine power he finds both alluring and somewhat "icky." Yes, to Hannity, it's a man's world and he wants to keep it that way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is very useful ,and effective. I highly recommend.
Review: Ok, I give this book 5 stars.....Not because of its content,but because it has become efficacious within my life's work. I'm a shepherd,yes I manage sheep. I've had one heck of a time herding my flock. I've implemented the use of dogs,hired help,etc, & etc, to no avail. UNTIL I found the panacea to my woes. Yep,I just hold this book in my hand within view of my herd, and instinctively they follow wherever I lead them. The efficacy of this book has left me with the positive resultant dividends only a republican can afford..oops!...er I mean appreciate!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Extreme, and not much better than Franken...
Review: Hannity has managed to demonstrate how extremes of any persuasion can harm a cause with some merits. I listen to him ocassionally, and can't keep from wincing painfully at some of the outrageous things he says, and at the way in which he shouts his callers and guests down, telling them they're not going to win, because "this is my show".
As in his radio show, in this book Hannity exhibits a thorough lack of understanding of what being "fair and balanced" means. He strikes me as somebody who never really had a mind of his own, and who cherishes the opportunity to vociferously repeat the mantra of the far, far right in this country.
If you really want a fair and balanced view of things, stick with open-minded O'Reilly, who takes on liberals, moderates, and conservatives equally when they are wrong, and who doesn't strive to justify wrongs and offer apologies just for the sake of remaining in one ideological camp, as extreme and skewed as it may be.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Get Sanitized - Avoid Hypocrite Hannity - He's Hateful
Review: I struggled through this book, amused at the way in which Sean jumps to conclusions. Man, this narrow minded man is a hypocrite of biblical proportions! Read the book if you must, but go into it with the knowledge that Sean exagerates the facts and jumps to conclusions based on faulty research. This country is in real trouble if the majority falls for this kind of drivel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Should be embarassed to call himself a Christian
Review: Mr. Hannity speaks a lot about his Christian values but I wonder what Bible he's reading. My Bible teaches tolerance, compassion and love of one's fellow man, whereas this man seems to practice the opposite. I am not his judge but it seems the word "hypocrite" could easily apply. As a devout Christian, I am appalled and sickened by this type of mean-spirited, hateful individual purporting to hold the same values I do. He doesn't. He should be ashamed of himself... assuming he has any shame at all.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Who's at war?
Review: Well, I'm a Californian. Not because I live here, but because it is home to me. I love the thrill of the city, the oceans, mountains, and the bounty of all that is good--and wholesome--and American. I am an American because I was born with American value and because after traveling the world for two decades I have seen for myself that this is the best country to live in and to raise a family. I hire Americans like me, and some not like me, and I generously provide health care and take care of my extended family.

I was also raised Catholic, although my father was of a different religion. I love diversity, of cultures, ideas and religions. I grew up amongst Jews and Arabs, Hindi and Buddhists, and even enjoy going to their bookstores and gatherings around university centers. Why do I mention all this? Because, Hannity paints a picture of America devoid from these very things I love. Freedom of expression (not just the press) and freedom to love the diversity of that which has made this great nation of ours.

I also cried bitterly on 911, had lost a friend, wrote a poem of hope and redemption for all my friends at home and abroad. We had lost our innocence. We became a nation at war. The local corner store that employed Arabs meekly avoided my gaze, but I felt in my heart they hadn't done anything. I felt sorry for them that they will soon carry the burden of extremists which had nothing to do with them.

I thought also about the books I was reading, the television I had been watching, which instantly turned to angry debate, angry invectives and voracious desire to rip apart the old America, blame it for all that had gone wrong, blame Clinton, blame Hillary, blame France and, why not, blame the EU, the UN and the failure of NATO (as per Kosovo)--blame the world but not see the bigger picture.

As a businessman, I prospered under Clinton. As an American I felt America was moving into the 21st century and into the third millennium, an era when America's hegemony will be increasingly challenged by forces more powerful than the fences of the cold war. I lived in Poland, Hungary and the pre-Czech Republic Czechoslovakia, and even formed American-styled businesses there. I understood how they look at us, how they look up to us, and, recently, how much concern they have for us.

I am concerned that our unilateralism of late has diminished the goodwill abroad, in China, in India, in East Europe, in the growing EU. I am concerned that we are fighting mathematically unwinnable wars, fighting demonized icons that are little more than jeering paper tigers, but being enmeshed in a trap that will suck our lifeblood. I am concerned about our staying power in regions that resist us and far outnumber our presence. As a technologist, I am concerned with the outrageous belief that better technology, R&D, precision weapons and next generation soldiers with the latest wireless technologies will solve the problem at the core.

I am also concerned with the rise of American extremism, both extreme left and extreme right, that paints an antiquarian, one dimensional picture of America, hypnotizes the press and spoon feeds people that don't read anything much more intelligent--or anything at all. I have recently disconnected my TV, stopped drinking carbonated soft drinks, and started to exercise and pray more frequently.

I pray that we can find our way as fiercely independent Americans that we always are, as Americans that learned to prosper and become world leaders in the past century, and as Americans that develop as even stronger, self-assured and respectful leaders in the face of unprecedented global change that we now face. We cannot do this, I believe, in the context of the ad hominem debate contained in this book.
