Summary: This guy is not as honest as he promotes.
Review: Hannity's broad political knowledge is impressive but there was one topic that I know as much as him and it was disappointing to see his doctoring of the facts to fit his agenda. My political view of the topic is neutral and my knowledge is from career and educational pursuits.1. He bashed environmentalists on their stance of the Artic National Wildilfe Refuge. They are against oil exploration of these lands and he ridiculed them for differing from the Alaskan democratic governor's pro stance. What he doesn't tell his readers is that the Alaskan's political view point is more of an economic issue than an environmental issue. The state receives a substantial amount from the taxation of the oil flowing through Trans-Alaskan pipeline. Prudhoe Bay oilfields are tapping out and the pipeline is flowing half full.
2. He stated that the oil in ANWR may be enough to replace 30 years of Saudi oil imports. For months on his radio show he said the same, meanwhile Rush Limbaugh was playing tag team by telling his listeners that Saudi oil made up the "Lion Share" of our consumption. The conclusion of the two is that ANWR's oil is almost equal to 30 years of U.S.A. consumption. One day Limbaugh told his audience that he just found out he was wrong and that Saudi oil comprised only 8% of our oil usuage. (Yea, I believe he just found out.) The damage was done.
3. He stated that the USGS says there may be up to 16 billion barrels in ANWR. What he doesn't tell is the 16 billion is the high side of a very broad range of what the USGS believes is there. And he didn't tell that the USGS gave another range of 4.3 to 11.8 billion barrels for what's "technically recoverable".
His 30 years of Saudi oil is based on the 16 billion. It's deceitful of him to base his argument on numbers that far exceed what's "technically recoverable".
4. He made fun of Senator's Daschle's claim of only 6 months of oil in ANWR. He called him "unencumbered" with the facts. Hannity didn't revel that Daschle's prediction comes from an earlier USGS study and that it was based on the 50th precentile technically recoverable numbers. The updated USGS study, that Hannity quotes, has a 50th percentile prediction that would equal to 14 months. Daschle was wrong to use an outdated study but his 6 months prediction was closer to the updated 14 months than Hannity's spin of 30 years.
5. He says the oil would make us "far less dependent" of imported oil. He didn't tell that the pipeline at half capacity supplies about 4% of our needs and that at full capacity it would supply about 8% of our needs. ANWR would bring the pipeline's flow to full capacity and reduce our imported oil from 60% of our usuage down to 56%. This doesn't exactly make us "far less dependent". The facts destroy his exaggerations. Many politicians and critics spin but this guy never stops telling everyone how honest he is. That's my problem with him. The rest of his book may be accurate but this topic wasn't close so I accept the rest of his book with a grain of salt. I don't drink his cool-aid.

Summary: Pure right-wing paranoid drivel
Review: If you like your politics simplistic to the point of absurdity, this is the book for you.

Summary: Partisan mediocrity
Review: I didn't expect much from a [man] like Hannity, and I wasn't disappointed. There's no actual need to read this book, as I can sum it up for you in four words: Republicans good, Democrats bad. (In my view, 50% correct). Hannity simply puts forth the neoconservative party line on every issue. Everything he says is predictable. Don't waste your time on this book. If you want a real conservative viewpoint, try reading something from Pat Buchanan or Joe Sobran.

Summary: sadly close minded and a little misguided
Review: I am sorry, but we are now in the times of freedom, as you so profusely oversuse this word, and that means admitting a little more equality. Stop equating our country's problems with "those people", we are not the innocent victims you make the US out to be--just do some more research and stop writing from a state of ego and involve a little more mind and heart. The members of other countries are not our enemies, just as are not the liberals of the world. I may not be liberal either, but to slam a liberal so harshly is truly to reject some of the beautiful, strong-minded people that started this country.

Summary: too liberal
Review: I am a die-hard Conservative Republican.Sean Hannity acts just like a liberal! In fact, he resorts to liberal tactics like "fight for liberty". We all know this is a liberal game! I wish he's stick to the main points he outlines in the first chapter, instead of rambling about "attacks" on our country by liberals. Let's stop accusing fellow Americans and focus on the real enemy: Al Quaeda!!!! Dems are with us; they overwhelmingly supported our good "president". So, as a fellow-Republican I urge you to NOT read this book.

Summary: nothing but the truth, with facts to back up every point
Review: Never mind the spin doctors in the media who hit you with 20 second sound bites, this in depth commentary clearly illustrates what is wrong with this country and who got us to where we are. It highlights true heroes and also reminds us of the dark ages in morality aka The Clinton Years. Read this book and you will know who "Clinton Cool Aid drinkers" really are!

Summary: Conservative Drivel
Review: I initially became familiar with Sean Hannity through his talk show on a certain American news network which I'm not going to name (hey, if they want free advertising, then they can pay me). His arrogant, brutish nature on that show alienated him to me, but I figured, "Hey, maybe if he has an opportunity to think about what he says, then he'll come off looking less foolish". Well, he got it half-right. While some of the excessively smug tone from his TV show is definitely gone (and good riddance!), there is no real substance to this volume. For page after page, Hannity rambles on about how liberalism is responsible for everything from the destruction of the American character, to world poverty, to child labour, to the death of his dog (ok, I made that last one up). Thats all you can find here, Sean Hannity explaining why he hates Liberals. I dunno, if you're a conservative, you may enjoy this book. Otherwise, if you're like me and more politically moderate, then you can only really expect slander and lies about the political left. Even on the rare occasion where he actually talks about ISSUES, his arrogant tone certainly alienates the reader and destroys any sympathy for his point of view. As I say in the title, conservative drivel. There are many, many more books available by many, many better conservative writers out there, check them out instead.

Summary: One of the reasons America is still America
Review: WOW. Hannity is right on in his non-apologetic stances on hard issues. This book was extremely readable and is a quick reference when you just can't stand network news any longer. After a long hard day of fighting for truth and right it is a salve to the soul. Hannity, you're number one!

Summary: Truly let Freedom Ring and Ring and Ring!!
Review: Sean Hinnity, aka: conservative radio and TV host, explains how the world has changed after the attack on our country, and what's at stake in our war against radical elements of Islam. He also speaks to why he believes our Constitution is worth saving and preserving. Unlike Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity has differing points of view, such as his belief in God and his stance against abortion and homosexuality. Where Bill O'Reilly thinks that these things are mere ideology, Hannity argues that we are in a war, a must-win war of ideas, and if we hope to maintain our liberties, we need to focus and continue to re-focus and fight on these freedom planes, if the constitutional freedoms we have are to remain in place. A good alternative to Fox's O'Reilly. And in fairness to Bill, there are many good things about his outlook, but Sean Hannity defines them in different terms, and in ways which are profoundly impacting society on another level. Highly recommended!!

Summary: The Title Says It All
Review: The flawed logic of Sean Hannity--another member of the Fox Channel's stable of demented commentators whose unspoken credo is "Why can't everyone be as good as me?"--appears in the very title of this anti-intellectual disgrace to publishing. "Freedom" means "Liberty," which is what liberals fight for. Conservatism, on the other hand, fights for the restriction of liberty. No doubt we'll see more hate literature from this sorry fellow, along with fellow haters like O'Reilly and Coltane. How sad.
