Rating:  Summary: One good turn deserves another Review: Liberals are getting their undies in a bunch over any and everything Ann Coulter does or says. Among the many double standards of the Left is the constant nauseating supplication for free speech in order to bash America and its leaders from the likes of anti-American traitors such as Michael Moore, Al Franken, and Hillary Clinton, but, needless to say, when Coulter(or anyone for that matter) even mentions the word "patriotism" she is feverishly shunned and ostracized for even considering exercising her free speech rights. If Al Franken and Michael Moore can spew forth their insipid and inane "funny" liberal rants, then one good turn deserves another."Liberals react to the American flag like Linda Blair did to holy water in The Exorcist." "Liberals are like children on a car trip, but not as cute, incessantly demanding to know if we're there yet." "In Baghdad, Sean Penn visited hospitals and posed in front of photos of Saddam Hussein. He looked for weapons of mass destruction, but the only bomb he found was a bootleg copy of Shanghai Surprise."
Rating:  Summary: Crackpot Review: Filled with pure hate and distortions. She defends McCarthy - how more unAmerican can you get.
Rating:  Summary: Treason??? Review: Does she even understand what this word means?? Oh, sure Liberals want Iraq to take over the US...give me a break. Meanwhile, I am watching on TV that some republican just exposed that a wife of a democratic congressman is a CIA agent. Now exposing an agent and risking national security and the life of the agent is treason...she will never mention this type of example which involves republicans. This book is a piece of garbage meant to overthrow the two party system that has made this country what it is today. Real patriots will ban this book and Ann Coulter.
Rating:  Summary: For republicans only Review: If you are a right-wing Republican this book says everything you want to hear and will justify the continued destruction of the liberties that American's enjoy. I heard her interview on CBN and the author is very ignorant in my opinion. I can't believethis book is getting all the attention it is. However, it definitely speaks to that large group of igornorant Americans who want to deprive the liberties of others becouse of their own set of distorted beliefs and want to impose their own form of Sharia law in the United States. McArthism is alive and well. If you are an ignorant right wing Republican then this book is a five by all means. Otherwise, this book is a joke too sorry to even think it is funny. It is sad.
Rating:  Summary: Another masterpiece Review: Once again Ms. Coulter has put out a well reaserched and informative book. This is the kind of book that takes a serious look at what kind of leaders we should have in this country. God help us if the democrates ever regain power.
Rating:  Summary: Buyer Beware Review: Attention all dittoheads, parrots, blowhards, Fox News junkies, and the rest of the weak minded and easily led: Don't read this book. It will only poison your mind further.
Rating:  Summary: Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make ye mad. Review: I started reading TREASON last night and couldn't put it down until I finished it. Coulter's expose of the McCarthy episode was extraordinarily well researched, especially regarding the (secret) indictments provided by the Venona Project. Her comments in chapter 13, "Now that I'm sober I watch a lot of news" were absolutely devastating to the Hollywood left (as though we should care what a bunch of ACTORS think). Extensive footnotes are, as always, provided for anyone who would dare to take on Coulter face-to-face -- they'll need to do their homework! Coulter tends to be rather shrill, but I think it's necessary to cut through the waves of liberal babbling. Conservatives have been getting slaughtered in the media and college press for years; Coulter provides yet another outlet for consertavitism against the wash of the liberal media. Her -- among others -- efforts are turning the tide of one-sidedness in the media, and I for one wholly support that. I'd like to see some of the liberals bashing Coulter to support their arguments with actual facts. It'd also be nice if y'all actually READ the book before posting your reviews -- I just read about a hundred customer reviews and it's apparent that most of you haven't read the book. Ignorance is bliss, yeah? Ultimately, the value of this book is that it is an extraordinary tool for conservatives. Like HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS and SLANDER, it provides a factual, cutting, prescient case against the persistent myths perpetuated by liberals and liberalism.
Rating:  Summary: Superb Example of Political Demonization Review: All extremist political idealogues use demons to focus on the 'awful' alternatives to their own positions. This book is a modern classic, surely more readable than forgotten handbooks from Mussolini's Italy, Hitler's Germany, Mao's China, and Stalin's Russia. But perhaps that's because it is current. Will anyone call it a classic in twenty years time? I doubt so. Forget bothering to check any facts. That's not important. What is important is to remember than so-called liberals aren't running the US these days, and things aren't working out very well, now are they? No matter, as long as the people believe that they have an enemy, and that this enemy will harm them. As long as the people can get caught up in the religious-style furvor of ultranationalism. As long as most people believe there will be a future that is every bit as good as the present is for the people who are looting their national treasury. Reading this book may provoke anger at the bad guys, and perhaps give NewSpeak comfort and satiety in way of The Way Things Are Now.
Rating:  Summary: Facts Conveniently "Left" Out of Public School Curriculum Review: It's fascinating to read over the negative reviews here, to see the absolute hate and vitriole directed towards her, in the most juvenile of terms. Ann, of course, always stirs up the ire of the non-thinking set, resulting in this sort of kindergarten-level attack. Still, it's actually good to see that sort of review, since it serves to reinforce Ann's point in the first place! That said... I attended public school, and for most of my life never really knew much about Joe McCarthy, except for what I was taught in school. I always questioned what I was told, since it was never supported by any fact, only by assertations without evidence to back them up. In fact, I was taught that the House Unamerican Activities Committee was McCarthy's... a point which I had never actually connected on 'til now... McCarthy was a SENATOR, he could not and was not involved in anything going on in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES in the first place. This was a great place to start the review. I was also fascinated to read about the Verona Project, something which was never publicized in the popular press, though it's been in the declassified public domain for several years now. For those who haven't read the book yet, let me summarize what Ann points out (and which I have since confirmed) - the Verona Project was a top-secret intelligence operation which proved beyond doubt exactly who in the US Government was in the service of the USSR. The Verona project was declassified a couple of years ago and proves, beyond any doubt, that ALLEGATIONS OF SOVIET INFILTRATION IN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE US GOVERNMENT WERE CORRECT. Don't just take Ann's, or MY, word for it, though... check it out for yourself! I have double-checked most of the bits of information Ann references in this book, and have not found anything that isn't correct. It is, in theory, possible that there may be one or two minor wording misquotes, though I certainly haven't found any. The substance of the book, however, is entirely factual and accurate... and it's a crime that these things are not only not not known by most people, but that most people believe things which are PROVABLY FALSE. Thank God Ann is willing to bring these issues into the public arena, since the New York Times is unlikely to ever do so. Approach this book with an open mind... leave your hatred of those who disagree with liberalism, and your attitude of "conservatives eat babies for breakfast" behind, and try to follow the logic of her argument. You might not LIKE what she has to say, on some emotional level, but the logic of the argument is hard to dispute. Conservatives don't need to be taught (though most can stand to have more factual ammunition in their argument armory), and the "arch-liberals" know full-well what they are doing (and are, in fact, the topic of this book). However, most rank-and-file "liberals" believe what they believe based upon what they've been told by "those who know better than we do" (so-claimed). This is why people tend to become more conservative with age... the more you see, the more you know, the more you understand, the more likely you are to be conservative (juvenile name-calling from the left notwithstanding... have you ever wondered how the right can simultaneously be "the party of the rich" and "the party of the trailerpark rubes" simultaneously? Answer - it's not). Ann's book, by bringing these topics into public discourse, will hopefully help to inform and teach some of the self-named "liberals" who don't understand the true nature of the philosophy they have been fooled into following. More likely, it will provide Conservatives with the verbal ammunition necessary to convince these people of the error of their ways. Logic always wins out in the end... unless the children storm off in a huff and start calling you names (see previous negative reviews on here!).
Rating:  Summary: Courage to tell the truth Review: I have traveled over much of the world and most intelligent and educated people marvel at how easily our press has been slanted to the left. Ann Coulter is fearless in revealing the truth of historical facts hidden by the Communist supporters who were funded directly from the Soviet Union as was finally revealed in the Venona project when it was declassified. People who are guilty can't afford to sue. They can't afford the additional press about the truth. Those who condemn Ann Coulter as being untruthful do so with slander in the media. But no one seems to be taking her to court for libel. I wonder why, since so many proven Communist lawyers came out of Havard. This is an excellent book that was fully researched and really opens your eyes as to how we got to where we are.
