Summary: She is so awesome!
Review: Congratulations Ann, you have done it again! I love this book and every one of my family is reading it, as well. You should also be very proud of the consumer reviews you are getting by all of the "independants" - they hate the book which just proves how spot on it is. The endless documentation backs up every statement you make - hard for even Clinton lovers to dispute, although if the sky is blue, they will still try to make you believe it is green. The book left me nauseated by the ineptitude of the liberals. Now they complain about the world hating us - well of course they do! Thanks to the libs, we have abandoned our allies, double-crossed countries we were supposed to be helping and made back room deals with Communists! I always thought that liberals were stupid (which of course they are) but now I realize they are not only stupid but dangerous. Thanks to Ann Coulter and her books, we have begun the long battle of setting the record straight. I admire her wit (I laughed out loud several times!) and her refusal to be politically correct. Now, I just wish she'd REALLY debate that self loving, arrogant and smug Bill Mahr. I have all three of your books Ann - when is the next one?

Summary: As the tripe still churns
Review: Nothing more than bellicose histrionics from our nation's paramount leftophobe, Ms. Coulter has outdone herself in this latest personal diatribe passed off as factual history. Anyone that doesn't see the world through Ann colored glasses---and, oh my, are they *ever* colored---ready yourself for yet another in her seemingly endless series of left-bashing books. Barely able to skim through another of her trashy tomes, I am amazed at just how far her degree from the Richard Mellon Scaffe School of hyperbole has led to another 'cha-cha-ching' effort for coulter. One star for the black dress and satiated smile that adorn the cover.

Summary: Spew
Review: Ms. Coulter's literary "style" is reminiscent of the remake of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" where those unfortunate souls who had already been taken over by the pod people would point an accusing finger and issue forth an otherworldly screech upon seeing a human being, causing the other consrvatives, er, aliens, to fall into lockstep and devour all that is good. Senator McCarthy was no more a hero than Senator Max Cleland is a traitor, a claim Ms. Coulter and her ilk make with equal aplomb. Senator Cleland, remember, left the majority of his limbs strewn on a Vietnamese battlefield yet had his patriotic bona fides called into question by the conservatives. Shameless, truly shameless. In "Treason", Ms. Coulter blithely ignores established facts that don't support her argument, creates fictions that do, and tries to cover the whole godawful mish-mosh with a welter of nonsensical footnotes; critical thinking is not in evidence. This is just more of the same with the next installment probably already in the works.

Summary: The harpy strikes again
Review: Ann "thrax" Coulter told a crowd at the University of Washington (Nov. 15, 2001) that she would not condemn abortion clinic bombers or those who murder doctors because they had tried to work within the system to change the laws on abortion and were frustrated by their failure. In her book "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," she called for the assassination of President Clinton. Last year, in an interview with George Gurley in the New York Observer, she said: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." She told David Brock that she wanted to leave her law practice in New York because she didn't want to be around so many Jews, and her racist remarks about Arabs are everywhere. She continues this noble legacy with "Treason," where she expresses her unfettered enthusiasm for Joe McCarthy. Might want to skip this one.

Summary: A Masterpiece of Misinformation
Review: Like her idol, the Nazi sympathizer and right-wing demagogue Joe McCarthy, Coulter feels free to invent "facts" to support her hate-fueled diatribes. Her book doesn't mention McCarthy's 1949 efforts on behalf of SS guards who massacred American POWS, which are a matter of public record. But since she recently remarked that she wants to move her law practice out of New York because she doesn't want to be around so many Jews, maybe this only increases his stature in her eyes.
She also leaves out the part where it was President Eisenhower and Senate Republicans (including Prescott Bush, W's grandfather) who moved to censure McCarthy, after the nation saw his appalling conduct televised.
There's more, of course- Harry Truman in particular is libeled by Coulter- but I don't have the time nor the space.

Summary: Coulter's ties into half-truths get the better of her
Review: After thoroughly enjoying her writings as in "Slander," I was hoping for an even more comprehensive slight against liberals and Democrats. Unfortunately, she only got it right about half of the time, and the rest of the time she was wrong to the point where her opponents don't even need to justify themselves to her attacks. This one could be the big "oops" in her writing career. Basically the line between her satire and her scholarly analysis is too blurred. What she honestly believes to be true and what she merely exaggerates for effect can't be well-distinguished, which leads to a horrible mess. The parts of her rally against Democratic liberals as Communists are particularly ill-advised, as "liberal" presidents like Truman, Kennedy and Johnson were all against Communism. They were also pro-war, despised by leftist politicos as "cold war liberals." It was under Truman's administration that the anti-Communist policies were put in place, and the Democrats weeded out Communist strains within themselves. Over half of the original HUAC committee consisted of Democrats. Indeed, in an interview with Chris Matthews, Coulter herself would not stand by her proposition when questioned directly as to whether or not John Kennedy was a traitor or was guilty of treason. Which one could suppose is to her credit, but she could not have been blind to the fact that she would be stepping on the toes of one of the most patriotic and revered Presidents of the last century. How strong could even she really believe her position is? Furthermore, Coulter makes McCarthy out to be a hero, when he was no such thing. He did nothing to help anti-Communism, he only exploited a sentiment that was already there(two years after the Democrats themselves had effectively pushed Communists from their ranks). In fact, he helped to discredit the anti-Communist position with his witch hunt. Not only was leftist political thought granted a degree of public sympathy in the wake of his tirade, it was allowed to reorganize and join mainstream U.S. politics again. It is indeed "McCarthyism" that Coulter herself may be wading into with this book. Rather than help the cause of conservative political exposure, she may indeed hurt it(and herself) badly. There is a difference between anti-American sentiment and honest political disagreement, which has somehow been lost over the last few years but still exists as a fundamental element to our liberty. And while one is not required to give any time at all to contrary evidence to make their case, in this situation the evidence to the contrary is substantial and glaring, and her failure to account for any of that may be a disaster.

Summary: Train Wreck
Review: Coulter's writing is not just inflammatory but blatantly irrational. Slander, her bestseller from last year, quickly became notorious for its errors and distortions of the facts (a quick google search will lead you to these). In Treason she takes her attacks to a new, and altogether astonishing level. Describing everyone with viewpoints that differ from hers as traitors, Coulter states that she believes that liberals are intentionally attemtping to destroy the United States. She explains to us what a patriot Joe McCarthy was, and how those who support freedom and liberty are guilty of Treason.
Coulter in general, and this book in specific are prime examples of the worst in American political commentary. Rather than attempt to present a viable viewpoint, Coulter distorts facts, takes quotes out of context, calls her opponents names, and lies (with lots of footnotes). Personally, I'm of the opinion that calling ones opponents names does not serve to further any just political cause.
