Summary: Coulter's America -- a One Party State
Review: The biggest problem with this book is that the term "treason" is a legal concept -- and a highly relative one at that - rather than one of moral absolutes. After all, dictators like Stalin and Saddam Hussein frequently accused their opponents of treason - yet these are people we would be more likely to call dissidents and "freedom fighters". The American Revolutionaries would have been considered treasonous by the British. Any government will have opponents, and indeed must permit such opposition if a country is to be called a democracy. Even if opponents of a government may be considered treasonous is not the same thing as saying they are evil - unless of course you wish to translate your nation's legal status to that of a secular religion. Ultimately, though, Coulter's thesis collapses on itself: if the country's only real opposition party - and, indeed an entire political class of people - oppose the government of the United States and are by extension treasonous, then what she is really saying is that the U.S. government no longer represents at least half of the population, and is by definition no longer a democratic regime and must be considered exactly the sort of tyranny the U.S. Constitution warned about. Unfortunately, Coulter can't have it both ways: if her nation is the free and democratic one that she would have us believe, then its opponents cannot be considered treasonous, but rather a necessary component of a healthy polity. Otherwise, what she is advocating is a highly undemocratic one-party state.

Summary: Has Coulter No Shame!
Review: Once again Coulter has proved that she is no historian. Coulter should leave the writing of history to the professionals and stick to wrtings columns for newspapers. Poor reasearch, biased comments, and laughable accusations fill her so called book, if you could call it that. Coulter, we were glad to have Roosevelt and Kennedy as our presidents. Roosevelt was our great leader during the war and Kennedy managed to prevent a showdown with Soviet Union during the crisis of 1962. Also, unlike the current occupier of the White House who just blamed the chief of CIA for the Presidential Comments, Kennedy had the courage to tell the Americans that he was fully responsible for the Bay of Pigs crisis. If Coulter wants to discuss treason why not discuss the Iran Contra Affair of the 1980's during the Reagan Administration or the very questionable invasion of Iraq by George W Bush despite the apparent lack of any WMD's? I would like to make it clear that Alger Hiss was convicted of perjury, not treason, in the 1950's. The evidence for his guilt only came out in the 1990's. However, his guilt could have never justified the actions of McCarthy and Roy Cohn. Democracy is a beautiful thing, but unfortunately when one opens the window flies come inside and Coulter is a perfect example of those insects.

Summary: Huge eye opener!
Review: This is the first book of Ann Coulter that I have read and . . . WOW! I could not put it down. Ann you have really done it! Literally, jaw-dropping and shocking reality at its best. I really have to ask these people who are giving this book a low rating and using words like "bold faced deceit" to describe this book. Where do you see the deceit? Was it in the 1995 release of the decoded messages proving the treason of Alger Hiss and hundreds of other soviet spies that the liberals have been protecting over the years? How about all the other bits of overwhelming information that point to the fact that many liberals including Presidents protected spies that directly endangered the very safety and security of our country? Ann lays the evidence out with a meticulous attention to detail stating sources and providing footnotes at every turn. There is really no escape from the truth in this book for these liberals. Whether these critics are in denial or are just plain spinning they refuse to admit that liberals supported and embraced enemies and spies of the US whos intent was to do harm to our country. All the facts point to it. I don't think these critics even read the book. Really a very credible and eye opening book. Ann you are defenitely a desired roll model for my daughter !

Summary: I'll admit it...
Review: Ok, I'll admit it: I haven't read this book, but probably for the same reason that you haven't read the Satanic Bible. Hear me out though. Look at the title of this book. Aren't you related to liberal/progressive thinkers? What about your kids or grandkids? Chances are they're liberal minded. So, think of that liberal loved one when you purchase this book of conservative hate. Are you really going to help this evil, evil woman accuse the only other major party in our democracy of treason? People like her would be perfectly happy if we lived in a totalitarian society ruled by the republican party. Ann Coulter is an enemy of democracy. Personally, I think this woman is guilty of treason against humanity from just what I've heard her say on television. Also, consider the fact that most of the people that would actually buy this book are probably so stupid that they don't know how to read. That's why it's at number 10 in audio CD's. Not a serious review, but something for you to think about before making this purchase.

Summary: William Buckley, where art thou?
Review: I learned a lot from reading "Treason." I didn't know that President Kennedy was a traitor. Or that Joe McCarthy was a national hero. "Treason" is chock full of such information. School book publishers must be busy revising 20th century history books in light of Coulter's brilliant scholarship.
Ann Coulter gives to Conservatives what Jerry Falwell gives to Christians - a bad name. I can understand that if one is as unhinged as she appears to be, it would give one solace to connect with those similarly afflicted -- by publishing a book. In other words: "I can't be nuts; look at all the people who think the same way as I do." What's harder to understand is why a reputable publisher would want to publish such rantings. Oh, that's right. The money.
Coulter's last book put me to sleep. This one makes me cry. In politics, hatred is the lowest common denominator. If "Treason" truly reflects her views, Ann Coulter is a hater, not a Conservative.

Summary: Chilling
Review: In "Slander" Ann Coulter simply used her perspective to accuse the media of liberal bias. However, with her latest book she paints all liberals with a broad brush, and says that they are guilty of one of the highest crimes we have. She holds McCarthy up as a hero and a victim of treasonous liberals. She claims there is this massive liberal conspiracy, which leads me to wonder why our government is firmly controlled by conservative interests, and she resorts to base name-calling of former President Clinton. Her book seems one shade away from suggesting that all of "THOSE" kind of people be rounded up and placed in camps "for their own protection and the protection of the country". A good read in the sense of seeing just how radical the radical right is becoming, right up there with "Mein Kampf".

Summary: Uh-oh. The libs here are getting snippy.
Review: Having read many of the reviews for Treason, I can't help but comment on common elements in the one-star reviews. The recurring themes of these liberal ranters include calling conservatives names, sneering at their intellectual or education levels, and recommending better reading by other, more-informed and enlightened (translation - liberal) writers such as Evan Thomas. Please! I can just see the liberals who claim to have read her book (right - like they would spend the money) frothing at the mouth as they punish their keyboards in an pounding effort to scream their outrage to the "uninformed" conservatives. The rants by those who can't handle the truth about liberals are hysterical and lacking facts to support their opinions. Liberals claim to be the party of tolerance. What a joke! Tolerance to liberals means you must toe their socialist line. The whining, screaming, and crying as well as their attempts to shout down the truth simply prove Ann Coulter's book to be truthful in how she describes liberals reacting when they are challenged. On behalf of right-thinking people everywhere, thanks, liberals, for demonstrating the truth of Treason through your consistent screeching. And thanks, Ann, from a female reader in Virginia!

Summary: Bravo, Ann!
Review: What can I say?
Ann Coulter is quite simply one of the best contemporary writers and political commentators in America.
She is indeed a rare breed. America is lucky to have a writer like her. She is the Dickens of our time!
Every assertion is solidly backed by copious, well documented, unimpeachable references.
No fly by night half backed liberal nonsense here.
This is the real stuff.
A chilling account of how much real damange, hell bound liberals have done to America the land of the brave, stretching back as far as anyone can see.
Because of books like Ann Coulter's books, America has every chance of being steered in the direction of hope and strength.
Make no mistake, this book, like other Ann Coulter books, is going to do plenty of real damage to the lies and propaganda of the evil liberals.
Expect the liberal cretins to resort to incresaingly more desperate (but ultimtely hopeless measures) as the America public's eyes are opened to how realy insedious the liberals are, and then turn around to squash the liberals under their feet.
Strongly reccomended

Summary: Now Ann, let's be serious
Review: It's hard to take Ann Coulter serious. After all, most (if not all) of her television and radio appearances show her in a giddy state, just dripping of controversial tidbits that are rarely backed up with facts. There are intersting points in the book. McCarthy, despite the contempt with which he is now viewed, did have a tremendous impact on America's view of communism in the 1950's and one has to wonder if the fall of the Soviet Empire who have come quite as quickly if he hadn't been so intent on weeding out their loyal followers in the US. That being said, McCarthy's tactics, despite Coulter's arguments to the contrary, were unexcusable. History has shown that he wasn't always wrong, but his accuracy rate certainly leaves a lot to be desired. The problem with those type of statistics are the undisputable facts that he left many lives in ruin. In the end, he suffered a similar end. Certainly Ann Coulter, for all of her brilliance, could find a more worthy hero for the conservative agenda.

Summary: Oh, it's serious...
Review: Cracks me up to see the leftists trying subvert Ann's book rating! I guess all we're going to see are 5-star and 1-star ratings. I swear, ever since clinton, politics have become strikingly more polarized, and this is just a microcosm. May God help us... and Go Ann!
