Summary: Conservatism to excess
Review: Everything is good or evil according to Mr Hannity! That kind of vision of world demontrates a lack of discernment. Indeed, everything is not that simple. He seems to think that only Republicans are true Americans, good human beings. The only ones who see the face of evil in the world. He accuses the liberal ideology of being awful on war on terror, which is completely biased on old political thoughts. He is REALLY CLULESS on foreign policy...He doesn't have culture, doesn't know anything about "the rest of the world" . I'm a French who lives in US and I find Hannity's speech offensive toward immigrants. Besides, France has seen terrorism years and years before 09-11. But for Sean Hannity, the world revolve around U.S. which is not the reallity. Most of Americans are aware of that. Also, the title of this book shows how narrow-mind he is. So, Sean Hannity should have read more, studied and got informations regarding the world before writing his book. But, he was not open-minded enough! he is the only one to be right, everybody else who doesn't share his ideas is wrong. Poor guy, he is so [weak]!
Oh! and by the way, when we are pro-choice, it doesn't mean that we are pro-abortion. Mr Hannity doesn't get subtle thoughts.

Summary: Typical rhetoric
Review: You don't even need to open the cover to know what this book is all about. Yup, the American flag now represents the GOP. Sorry if you're a democrat; you no longer have a flag or a country. This book is an insult to freedom and intelligence. Conservatives have never been able to understand the problems America faces; they are mere reactionaries, who need to portray every battle as "good vs. evil" in order to further their simplistic, arcane ideology. True Americans have the ability to think for themselves. Flag-waving sheep, on the other hand, may like this book.

Summary: Can We Clone Him!!! Great book for mind and body!!!
Review: This book is healthy for the mind and body! I couldn't put it down, not even on my treadmill! Over the last week I have even looked forward to getting on my treadmill, that is, with Sean ;-}He is smart, insightful, honest and funny! It is obvious he cares deeply for this wonderful country that has been entrusted in the American people. He motivates the patriot in this compassionate conservative and I look forward to future tomes from this fine author.

Summary: A voice of common sense patriotism!
Review: Hannity is a saving grace to this country standing up in the face of the radical left, liberal agenda and bringing truth to the masses. He speaks up for the vast majority of American's on the important issues and puts the liars and idealist liberals in their place with this book. This is not a collection of intellectual manifesto's or complex argumentative political theories but rather a simple yet eloquent satement of the truth that speaks to Americans where they are and it is undeniably good!
Of course, Hannity will be discredited for his somewhat inarticulate prose by the liberal, intellectual, political science crowds and be hailed as some kind of fascist, racist, close minded, fanatic by the liberal extremists but just remember... IT'S THE PRICE TO PAY FOR BEING RIGHT! And Hannity is right on the money!

Summary: Fat-headed Politics
Review: "To accept opinions is to gain the good solid feeling of being correct without having to think." --C. Wright MillsGo ahead. read it. Maybe even enjoy it.
Personally, I'd prefer you steal it. This guy doesn't need any more book deals. Just please don't accept his opinions without thinking for yourself.
Find where you stand in the so-called "War of Liberty over Liberalism." Personally, I thought it was junk. But that's just my opinion.
The book did keep my attention front to back--that's why I gave it two stars.

Summary: One of the better books in the crowded "talking head" genre
Review: In writing "Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism", Sean Hannity has ventured down the same path of Rush Limbaugh, Ken Hamblin, et al, who created a popular talk radio and/or television show, then capitalize on the fan base by writing a book about the current political scene. As with those that preceded him, Mr. Hannity is sure to have a bestseller on his hands, but it will be justified, as he has crafted one of the better works in the "talking head" genre. A very definite theme in Mr. Hannity's book - and perhaps due to fortuitous timing - is the September 11 terror attacks. A good portion of the book is devoted to, or can be tied to, that tragic day. Mr. Hannity documents his feelings about the attack, and then opens the book with chapters citing numerous cases of liberal/Democratic influence on poor security and intelligence functions. Through this, Mr. Hannity lays the groundwork to show how liberal thinking and policy has compromised our freedoms and security. Taking this argument further, Mr. Hannity then ventures into other political topics, such as taxes, abortion, and patriotic displays to further prove a liberal attack on our freedoms. His documentation of quotes - taken from speeches, articles in the media, and even his own radio and Fox News Channel show - are plentiful and strong, damning evidence of how the liberal mindset works. However, these citations are a double-edged sword. In places, they are used appropriately in laying out his convincing arguments. Other times, he tends to use it in what I can only describe as a style of an avalanche; he fires off so many citations and quotations that his ultimate point gets lost in the deluge. ... But more importantly, he portrays a nicer, kinder, "average guy" image that translates very well in his writing as it does over the airwaves. ... A larger issue to consider in review of this book is its long-range viability. That is, how will Mr. Hannity's book stand up over the test of time? In most cases of authors in the "talking head" genre, the books have a relatively short shelf-life. To get a year of interest out of them is largely considered an overwhelming success. But even with those successes, the lion's share of books in this genre quickly find themselves on the sale racks of bargain book outlet stores and even more rapidly disappear from the public mindset. It may be too early to determine how viable Mr. Hannity's book will remain in the long-term, but I would tend to think it will be a success because it could remain popular for that one-year window. Further, I think that, given its link to the September 11 attacks, it may be more viable and useful over a number of years as the debate and reflection continues on that important date in American history. In whole, I give this book a four-star rating, and would recommend it to conservatives, moderates, and liberals alike. It is not a preachy work, it doesn't "talk down" to the reader, and nor is it full of the egomania found in other books of the genre. Mr. Hannity should be credited for authoring a work that stands above an otherwise crowded field.

Summary: Sean for president!
Review: Sean Hannity is right on the money! I listen to his radio show every day, and he is intelligent, consistent, and honest, which is more than most of our national leaders. His chapter on taxes is amazing! I cannot beleive how naive most Americans are towards taxes and liberals. Please read this book.

Summary: conservatives love revising history
Review: OK, kneejerk conservatives hit that "this review has been unhelpful to me" button--you've already made up your minds. But seriously, Sean Hannity writes and rants and whines as if there is no tomorrow. He also has no sense of the past. He spits out lies and exaggerations about liberals as if conservatives were completely blamefree, have done nothing wrong. Yes, look up the word "Watergate" in Hannity's index and you won't find that word. Hannity blames liberals for everything. End of story. In Hannity's world, there was never a McCarthy Era, no Watergate, no "catsup is a vegetable" speech by Reagan, no Savings and Loan scandal, no corporate greed killing our environment and costing people their jobs. Oh yes, and Ollie North is a martyr. Forget the fact that we have spent many tax dollars bailing out Nixon, Reagan, Bush and his sons. Conservatives who didn't like the fact Clinton was elected by the American people (unlike our current prez) effectively sabotaged his Presidency. Hmmm, Mr. Hannity, you mean you approve of Linda Tripp wearing a wiretap and tricking Monica Lewinsky to talking about what should have been a private matter and then having Kenneth Starr spending millions of taxpayers' money to nab Clinton? Well, conservatives approved of "Tricky Dick"'s methods, so what is new? As Dubya continues to make ridiculous errors and continues to put his foot in it, I think conservatives may have to learn to start explaining themselves. I give Hannity an extra star for chutzpah, but I'm predicting this book, which is a tad less psychotic than the poor Slander, will end up in bargain bins in the near future.

Summary: The perfect conservative book
Review: I just finished reading Let Freedom ring about a week ago, and it was the best non fiction book i have ever read. Sean Hannity clearly lays out how liberals are destroying our country from the inside out, and we need to stop it before it goes too far. Its eye opening, because you dont know how bad the problem is until you read this book. This is the most brilliant piece of political writing ever, and is clearly a must have for any conservative.

Summary: Standard Hate Propaganda... *snooze*
Review: This book is wonderful reading for people looking for excuses to hate their fellow Americans. Another sad example of divisive, hateful rhetoric wrapped up in a flag. Heaven forbid you disagree in the land of freedom.
