Summary: Sean Hannity, not a good liar
Review: if you like distorted views, misinterpreted facts spun around to defend weak arguments, and outright lies, this book is for you. this is the first book i've reviewed that i would give no stars if possible. Hannity makes absurd arguments that go like this, "i'm right!" How are you right? "Cause you're an American hating Liberal!" Even if that were true how does it prove any point whatsoever? "Cause i said so!" Good point Sean. Hannity has made a career out of such arguments, arguments that may appeal to a six year old on a playground, but to any literate person with an IQ even slightly above their shoe size can quickly see the book is the same liberal bashing junk, minus any reasonable views, that people like ann coulter continue to vomit from their very confused and warped minds. Also, when Hannity does catch his breath from name calling to try and make a point about something, he has to lie (and not very well) to back his ultra-conservative stance. i won't go into all of them (i'd have to quote the entire "book")but a real good one is on pg. 205. Sean explains "Decades of liberal no-growth policies have seriously endagered our economic and national security." HA! HA! HA! anyone remember the mid to late 90's? when clinton was the last elected president we had? economic growth during this period was the highest of any country since the beginning of the industrial revolution. not according to sean however. why? "cause i said so!" if you are a four year old child and believe everything anyone tells you(tooth fairy, santa, boogie-man, liberal media, etc.), and get your news from fox tv (definite conservative media) then little billy buy this book on tape.

Summary: The truths are there...
Review: The truths are there in plain sight; whether he talks about school vouchers while giving examples of where the work or the war on terror he is right. Most of the negative reviews are critical of the ideas and the author because of political views. The book is well laid out, easy to read and very insightful.

Summary: Down With Conservatism!!!
Review: I truly feel sorry for Sean and all the rest of America's embarrasment who buy this book. They are all people who are desperately trying to hang on to a mindset that by all rights should be dead. Hannity and his idiotic party are nothing anymore but a bunch of lies, distortions, and factual errors that make me ashamed to call myself an American. If someone like him is going to put this much energy into a political work, it should at least be for a good purpose. And what really pisses me off is that, while he is a little Rush Limbaugh clone himself, he is going to influence a whole other generation of ignorant right-wingers to screw everything up even more. Yeah, I could go on for days...... peace, love, and understanding
always

Summary: Hannity is amazing at what he does
Review: Sean Hannity is an amazingly good pundit. He delights his conservative audience by pouring his vitriol all over liberals, moderates, Bill Clinton, and anyone else who stands anywhere BESIDES right behind himself and the likes of George W. Bush. Sean Hannity is good at what he does. Unfortunately, Sean is NOT very good with facts. Sean gets them wrong all the time. For example, Sean repeats the falsehood that Bill Clinton "seemingly blamed the vicious terrorist attacks on you and me and all Americans." Kevin Cherry makes a similar mistake writing for NationalReviewOnline: "President Bill Clinton blamed, in part, the United States for the terrorist attacks of September 11. Speaking to a group of about 1,000 students, the former president said that our nation is "paying a price" for slavery and for its treatment of the "significant number of native Americans" who "were dispossessed and killed." If you look at the context, you'll see that Clinton meant that there is a long history of noncombatants dying in conflict, even in our own nation's history. Tragically, innocent people get killed. Sometimes they number in the thousands. What happened at the WTC was terrible and ghastly, but it wasn't entirely without precedent But Hannity doesn't care. He doesn't let facts get in his way. That's just one example, but anybody reading LET FREEDOM RING could find many many more. Hannity is shameless and careless. Hannity's agenda seems to be: spin the truth any way it can be spun, in order to make Republicans and conservatives look good, and make liberals and Democrats look bad. Like I said, Hannity is amazing at what he does. It's tragic that he uses his considerable talent to regularly lie or distort the truth.

Summary: Beware
Review: Beware the book whose author is seen grinning in front of an American flag on the cover.

Summary: In Hannity's world...
Review: In Hannity's world, the United States would ring with no freedoms, with the exception of freedoms granted to those who would re-write our constitution to fit their conservative beliefs. Freedom, by definition, is the ability to choose...but Hannity would give you only one option to choose from - the right-wing's. Where is the freedom?

Summary: Like Ann Coulter, but no one knows who he is...
Review: I'll admit that I haven't read the book, mostly because there are other books that are worth more time (ah college, c'est la vie). Really, it seems like this guy is basically the male version of Ann (minus the blond hair), but no one knows who he is because no one cares about what he has to say. And worse, both of them are like Al Franken, except they don't realized they, too, are comedians. Yet, whatever...everyone needs reaffirmation that they are somehow right, and if it takes a slanted, biased report of the Left to do it, then enjoy...it's your misinformation.

Summary: So-So
Review: An mediocre book. I agree with his thoughts but Sean comes across as hateful towards the people he writes about. I was expecting a little more intellectual thought than the usaual left bashing I normally here

Summary: WOW, what a poorly informed, highly paid nimrod
Review: Good luck, dear reader, with a body of work that will long live as the biggest load of biased political claptrap this side of Mein Kempf. Do not buy this but remain informed by loaning it from the library. Then come back, read all 464 reviews and cringe that people find this mess worthwhile.
