Summary: The truth hurts . . .
Review: I LOVE those one star reviews. It's GREAT to see right wing-nuts squirm. Come on, idiots . . . point out to us where ANY of Al's facts are wrong. I DARE YOU!!!

Great book Mr. Franken. Humour and the TRUTH. Great one-two punch. I'm glad I'm not a far-right-winger. After this book, I'd be emabrrassed to say so if I was. Might as well walk around with the word IDIOT tattooed on your forehead.

Can't wait for LATLLWTT-AFABLATR: II ... and III... and IV ... and V...

Keep 'em squirming, Al!!!

Summary: Al Franken is a liar?
Review: I love your work Al! I have since Saturday Night Live. You are a very clever and witty man. I read your book after I read Ann Coulter's "Treason" & "Slander." But your book isn't about the truth either... it's about, "Hi I'm Al Franken and I'm correct about everything." I just get the feeling that your interpretation of the truth is more important than the actual truth. So does that mean your book is full of lies? I am sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle of you and Ann. Without Ann's book, "Lying Liars" would've been about the size of a pamphlet. And Ann's books were actually a lot more fun to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but I cringed my teeth a few times...
Review: I loved Al Franken's book. It was funny at times, and serious at others. Though, I couldn't help but cringe my teeth at a few things he said... it made me think he was putting on the wrong idea, or using strange reasoning.

Even though I am rather conservative, I did find some good point in the end. I'd recommend reading this if you want to keep your mind open.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vindicates my aura readings of these liars
Review: I loved everything about this book. Considering what Franken had to say about these colossal liars, he said it with as much compassion, humility and humor as possible. Many parts of the book, especially those related to Senator Paul Wellstone, brought tears to my eyes.

As I take my hat off to Team Franken, I also must note what a vindication this book is for me as an aura reader (I'm the author of AURA READING THROUGH ALL YOUR SENSES).

In case you're political without yet being metaphysical, auras are energy fields with databanks of information that anyone can read, including via photos. Integrity shows in three parts of an aura, and for years I've been noting problems with some of these liars. If enough people read auras, we'd have different folks on the radio and the bestseller list. And Al Franken, with his magnificent aura, would be even more appreciated than he is today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unexpected
Review: I loved Franken's previous books and his writing on Saturday Night Live, so I knew this would be brilliantly funny. But I didn't expect the book to inform me, educate me, almost make me cry. (Not from laughing -- from Franken's beautifully controlled, angry chapter on a memorial service for Sen. Paul Wellstone and the way Franken believes it was misrepresented by conservatives.) Franken has done a beautiful job of articulating how one can love and criticize America at the same time. What's most amazing is that he pull it off without once forgetting to be hilarious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Franken exposes the Bushies for what they are!
Review: I loved this book and greatly appreciate the alternate view of things, that Mr. Franken posits. Heaven knows that our conservative-slanted media won't do anything but stick behind the boy they allowed to quietly assume the role he was never elected for. After all, it took his brother (governor's) help and the support of his daddy-appointed, supreme court justices to sneak him into office. This administration and the fools who back it are all LIARS who don't follow what's really going on. Great job Al Franken and the team from Harvard! I salute you as a true American. Only we true Americans know what's really going on! For you Bush backers, WAKE UP from your Walmart-shopping stupor! He's only using you for votes whilst he erodes our tax base and environmental and domestic policies to help out the super rich. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and true
Review: I loved this book and laughed a lot. It debunks the myth that the media is really left. Any book that bash coulter for the bias liar she is, is a good book. The chapter on O'Reilly is great too. The only problem is that most of this info is floating around on the internet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well researched, but funny too!
Review: I loved this book so much I bought the audio CD too and I plan on distributing both to all my family members. Franken takes on Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and others who try to cover up the true purpose of the conservative agenda. He also rightly gives credit to his amazing Team Franken--the people who put together all the facts and did the research. This book is perfect for those who have right-wing family members, friends, or work colleagues who are always spouting off things like "Clinton destroyed our military!" or "Bush's tax cuts benefit the poor and will save the economy!" (hmmm, not sure anyone really believes that last one). Franken backs up his facts, so you have a good reference book in addition to a book you will love to read passages out loud from at night to your spouse who is trying to sleep.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great read, hysterical and truly accurate!
Review: I loved this book! Al Franken is so funny, his humor is dry, extremely witty and right on the mark. Sometimes I would read something he said and think he was serious and then realize he was making a very clever joke. It is honestly extremely funny and entertaining!

His chapters on Anne Coutler and Bill O'Reilly were my favorite. They are both nuts and he goes after them with vigor. He points out about a zillion errors in Anne's books and can back them up with proof. He gives many examples on how O'Reilly is nothing more than a bully with a big mouth.

His book is EXTREMELY well researched, well written, easy to understand and everything he claims can be proven to be true. He does not throw around statements that have no merit, he proves others to be liars while keeping his book 100% truthful and yes I even looked into some of his claims out of curiousity and found them to be true.

A really,really good read and highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hilarious read
Review: I loved this book, I read it in two nights and Al was able to keep it funny and relevant. Not just boring facts and figures.
