Summary: Completely Arrogant
Review: Mrs. Coulter obviously has an agenda to persue. This book bashes liberals with a sharp toungue, and accuses them of being unpatriotic. However many of the arguments are just pitiful, and not backed by credible sources. She resorts to unabashed name-calling, and throughout the book it's hard to seperate Mrs. Coulter's opinions from fact. They are all mixed together in an anti-liberal stew. She actually advocates dissolving the entire democratic party. So much for balanced intellectual journalism. If you want a better book read something by Rush Limbaugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Facts Are Stubborn Things
Review: Ann has thoroughly documented this review of the Left's role in attacking American resolve over the last 60 years. Liberals have been on the wrong side in every major crisis during this period. They were wrong about Soviet spies in the US government, they were wrong about Mao, the Vietcong, Cambodia, Iran, Grenada, Cuba, the Cold War, Reagan, Afghanistan, Iraq and everything else in between. They were wrong to the detriment of hundreds of millions of souls. Ann carefully documents that the hue and cry from the Left under the guise of "civil rights" over the years served only as a cover for their anti-American activities. We all cower when the liberals scream "McCarthyism" without really knowing why. True debate has been stifled by the screams of the Left who controlled every major media outlet in this country until the advent of the internet and the expansion of cable.

Becoming the toast of the town at Harvard and hitting the college speaking circuit is not exactly the equivalent of having a "ruined life" as liberals would have us believe was the result of McCarthy's work. As the Venona Papers have revealed (along with declassified KGB files), McCarthy was right. The Soviets had agents all through the US government. What you will see today is what you saw then, a refusal to address the arguments put forth by Ms. Coulter based on the facts. You will only get a dismissive attitude that decries her style. They won't refute the facts with research, just dismiss them offhandedly with an "everybody knows she's wrong" argument. As John Adams said, however, "Facts are stubborn things." Ann has the facts on her side.

Summary: EVIL- PURE EVIL
Review: George Marshall,Truman and Kennedy traitors? This woman is the worst sort of lying filthy Anti-American. She is promoting the interests of Transanational Crypto Fascists who wish to dismantle the constitution and kill the middle class. George Marshall gave 50+ years of his life to his country, was the single greatest factor in us winning WWII.Truman was a GREAT president who had the courage to drop the A-bomb on the Japs and oh by the way was a WWI Combat Vet. Kennedy? Again a WWII decorated hero. Aside from Ike and the 1st President Bush none of the guys in this book ever saw War. Joseph McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Allen Dulles, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and George W. Bush are all examples of Anti-Democratic liars who care nothing about average Americans. They are an obscene insult to every GI who died on Omaha Beach or the Chosin Reservoir or in the Republic of Vietnam. They are Chicken hawks who want to kill other people's sons. Anyone who buys this pack of lies is a fool, blind or a Nazi sympathizer.

Summary: How does a conservative see this book?
Review: Most telling review I've seen of this book was by solid conservative pundit David Horowitz. He basically called it junk. He points out dozens of cases of historical revisionism, combined with her refusal to actually address any of her errors during talk shows (ex: she repeatedly says all Democrats have always been "traitors", but totally ignores Truman and Kennedy in standing up to the Soviets; she accuses Truman of attacking Churchill's speech in ?1947?, yet ignores the fact Churchill was there thanks to an invite from Truman himself!; it just keeps going on like this). Horowitz also points out it can't be good for conservatives when the people who seem happiest with Coulter's book are all very liberal. He says this is because they love the fact that she allows them to yet again present all conservatives as a mindless hate mob who would destroy anything and anyone who dares not agree with them (note Coulter's apparent ignorance that her stated wish that all Democrats could be done away with, leaving us only with a Republican party, indicates in her ideal world our political system would actually be more akin to Stalinist Soviet Union than a free America). Don't believe me - go to Horowitz's web site and read it yourself. Also suggest you try the very non-partisan SpinSanity, who do an excellent job pointing out the MANY, MANY errors and distortions in her book (their biggest complaint: she constantly attibutes a "liberal" position to a newspaper, but when you actually check the source article you discover the paper was actually (and accurately) quoting a news source).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Briefly
Review: Regarding the nastier of the negative reviewers: please consider reading a book before trashing it. It shows very clearly when you do not. If you need a forum for spouting your political views consider writing your own book.
I did finish this one. It does a remarkable job of grilling a few of the mainstays of liberal mythology. No, there isn't a huge amount of "new" information, but an honest presentation not filtered by the censors of the mass media is a rare and wonderful occurence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply put...
Review: Why must the liberal elites even have to waste their breath defending proven Soviet spies? Would conservatives defend Nazi spies that infiltrated the US government? Of course not, they would have thrown them the book. Because of this you really have to question those elites (The Nation) spending entire articles trying to defend these proven spies. What is their purpose for doing so? Ann doesn't specifically address this point, but she does an excellent job on other points. Specifically:

1. Shows what a present day infiltration of enemies in the government would look like.
2. Shows that at the time Mccarthy was wildly popular with the American people.
3. Dispproves the myth that opposition to the Vietnam war was widespread.

So why do liberals now refuse to acknowledge proven spies during the 50s? Ann was right, liberals have some character trait that always causes them to root for the enemy.

Ann knocks one out of the park with this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well documented
Review: Say what you will about this author. There are 47 pages of notes and bibliography supporting every single claim.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what an idiot
Review: At first I thought that "Treason" was Coulter's usual cry baby garbage about the Democratic party. But anyone that thinks that McCarthy was a great man should see some serious physcological help. And where did she get her historical views, on the back of a Cracker Jack box. Does she forget about the Republican President that in his first year of office literally trashed the constitution, disbanded state assemblies, and had members of Congress illegaly deported. Not to mention having 36 Native Americans executed in Wisconson just to get there votes. His name was Abraham Lincoln. We have people like coulter here in the Ozarks, we call them inbred idiots

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read the Book before reviewing it!
Review: It is obvious that most of these reviewers giving this book negative reviews have not even read it. There is even one reviewer thats states that Ann "accuses the entire Democratic Party of treason but will not name one person, living or dead, as being guilty of that serious crime." I don't know what book he read but it wasn't Ann Coulter's "Treason." This book in fact has many names of people who are liberals that were proven soviet spies who regularly communicated with moscow and also organized the infiltration of other soviet spies in the top levels of our government. They were protected by the liberal establishment and the press, especially the New York Times. This book is filled with meticulously reasearched facts and all the sources are listed. No one could have researched it better. Even if you are going to give this a negative review at least read the book so yo know what you are talking about!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wish I could give less than 1 star!
Review: This woman should be down on her knees thanking liberals for existing. If not for them, she'd have nothing to write about and would be ranting on some street corner like other nutjobs who don't happen to have a publisher. Coulter has such hatred in her that her work doesn't even have the appearance of being fair and balanced. I don't consider myself liberal or conservative, but I do recognize that there is a reason we don't have a one-party government in this country---balance. Something Ms. Coulter knows nothing about!
