Summary: The beginning of the end for the neo-cons
Review: This was a great read, I highly recommend this book! Al and TeamFranken blow the lid off the right-wing lies and the liars who tell them. It's about time. I especially enjoyed his destruction of the pompous and simple-minded Sean Hannity. People are beginning to wake up to the steady stream of lies spewed forth by the right-wing nuts and this book will help precipitate the fall of neo-cons into what we can only hope will be permanent exile to the fringes of society where they belong. We need only look to the current Administration to see what happens when lying neo-cons get in power--complete dishonesty and chaos, and a president who encourages attacks on our troops with his macho "bring 'em on" statements. Read this book if you want to know the truth about these despicable characters, and Al just scratches the surface of their mendacity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great read.

Summary: not bad...
Review: This was an enjoyable and entertaining read. For the most part, the facts seem pretty spot on. As in all books of a political nature there is going to be some skewing of facts due to bias, but in this case the skewing is done intelligently and with an eye towards convincing the reader rather than intimidating them into believing. I read through a great deal of other reviews on here that seem rather politically biased and bent more on condemning the author because of his political views rather than critiquing the book on its own merits.

Please, if you are going to give the book a negative review it would help those of us who actually think for ourselves when we read political literature if you would say what particular facts are wrong and citing a source to back up your statement rather than pointing at the author and calling him a big, fat liar. This goes for the Frankenphilic dittoheads out there. Ok, I got it. Your'e a liberal. So am I...now tell me WHY THIS BOOK IS GOOD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Get RENEWED!!
Review: This was an interesting concept but unfortunately the ideas offer little insight and no action plans for positive solutions. If you would like to read the best book on social issues read RENEW: The Day We Solve All Our Problems by E. R. Marks. RENEW is electrifying and brilliant. It will change our views on social issues and will dramatically and immediately increase the quality of life of every American.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun, funny, good facts!
Review: This was fun reading and with a lot of documented facts. I am not an objective reader - I find FOXnews and Coulter ridiculous, but I loved Franken's book and it is a needed text to counter all the c r a p that one hears and sees from the conservative media.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This was one of the best books I've ever read. Franken does not only attack the right but actually uses facts to prove his points. It is nice to see someone backing up what they say and willing to take on anyone if they would talk to him about it. I do want to thank Bill O'Reilly, if he hadn't complained about the book on his show I never would have bought it. Buy this book, you won't be dissappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: funny and informative
Review: This was really captivating reading. The book illustrates so many examples of blatant dishonesty by journalists and officials on the right. Franken is a clever writer and has uncovered a wealth of material to work with. He also had a team of student researchers and this was really evident in the detail and documentation he provided for his arguments.

One of my favorite bits was the discussion about a chart Hannity presented which showed the difference between Reagan's yearly budget and congressional spending. The chart had a number called "cumulative difference" which was listed as 24.5%, indicating what seems to be a big difference. In actuality the average yearly difference was (according to the chart) 3.1%. The number 24.5 was 3.1 multiplied by Reagan's 8 years in office!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilariously Revealing
Review: This was so good I am on re-reading now. Sarcastically funny and long overdue - this clearly shows the bias on the right.

Bill O'liely, Abstinence Heroes, Operation Chickenhawk - it is priceless because of the candor as well as the humor.

A big Thanks to Al Franken and his excellent book!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them
Review: This was such a great read. It's great that someone cares to question these liars, thugs, and cheats. Thanks Al you make America a better place to live.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stunned at the breathtaking idiocy of this book.
Review: This waste of paper isn't even worth one star. I'm by no means a right-winger; in fact, rabid extremists on either side are devoid of any capacity to reason whatsoever. Anyone who would buy into this massive load of hooey is as big an imbecile as Franken.
