Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally the Truth
Review: Coulter hits it out of the park again. It is hard to discount her assumptions made in the book as it is very well documented. She mixes fact with humor better than any political scout out there today. It is very eye opening. To think that the left has controlled this discussion so well is frightening. I dare any liberal to read this book, remember, the truth will set you free.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: She's gone off the deep end
Review: I wish I didn't have to even give it a star. As an independent, I strive for reasoned thought, not vitriolic partisanship based on poor research. Whether on the left or the right, extremists rarely rely on rational discourse. With this latest diatribe, Ms. Coulter has officially departed from the land of lucid thinkers into her own stratosphere of insanity (or extreme marketing).

The contest is now on to see who can spot the most false quotations, misleading sources, convenient overlooking of contrary information, and sentences taken out of context or incorrectly attributed (her prior book Slander followed this route as well). Quantity of citations, not quality, is evidently the Coulter mantra. The icing on this cake is her indefensible exaltation of Joseph McCarthy.

Thinking conservatives are disserviced by Ms. Coulter's claim to membership in their ranks. May she go back to the obscurity from whence she came.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Less than expected
Review: I hoped this book would shed light on contemporary events with detailed analysis of the right wing agenda. Unfortunately, I think this book is more of a rant than an analysis. Ann, just as in Slander, uses the repetition make truth strategy that she has inherited from Savage.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor indeed
Review: I don't consider myself either Republican or Democrat, and have voted for candidates from both parties. I have nothing good to say about this woman except Ugh! While there are a few interesting points in her book, most of it is hysteria, hatred and pure venom. I've seen her spit out her venom on TV and she's not a pleasant sight at all. She never answers challenges to what she spouts with any intelligence or directness. She evades probing questions or anything factual that clearly contradicts what she says. Instead she resorts to smarmy, witless sarcasm in that dour fashion of hers or gets hysterical. Her fundamentalism and extremism is as scary if not more scary than anything she criticizes. She's as emptyheaded as they come. Shame you can't give a book zero stars, because this one deserves it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fiction (inarticulate fiction at that)
Review: When the right has inarticulate bimbos such as Coulter, do they really need enemies?

Coulter is like a two-year-old. She cries and whines about how everything is Clinton's fault. Sorry, Coult, but Clinton's not in charge anymore. 9/11 happened on Bush's watch. Bush lead us into the quagmire of Iraq. Bush is president over the largest national debt every, as well as the highest unemployement since his father.

She's ugly too. Will someone give that woman a sandwich?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poorly written
Review: This book has been laughed at by the serious literary critics, and I can see why.
It's poorly written, poorly researched and just plain wrong on almost every page. Joe McCarthy a hero? Ha ha! Writing stuff like that just to titilate people only makes Coulter look foolish.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Making A Name for Herself
Review: ZERO stars.

The real purpose of this factually inaccurate book is, of course, to "make a name" for the author by creating controversy. (She certainly does that in her erroneously researched book.)

The fact that she is known as a "conservative pundit" should give any reader a heads-up about what they are going to be exposed to in her writing. (Sad.)

If Joe McCarthy is your hero, or if you want to make a fame-seeking conservative more successful, then you'll certainly enjoy this book. (Otherwise, save your money and your time.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leftists are apoplectic - now that the truth is out.
Review: What does Coulter say that is getting the Leftists in a hysterical uproar? Let's remember the facts of history. Communism was Stalinism during McCarthy's tenure in the early 50's. Communists were supporter of a mass murdered as evil as Hitler. During the preceding years, Communism had swallowed Eastern Europe and China, acquired nuclear bombs with the help of American Communist spies, and found widespread support among Western intellectuals. What did McCarthy do? He, and others, rallied the country to the threat. He demanded the removal of security risks from our Army, State Department and Intelligence communities. While Communists were slaughtering and enslaving millions, McCarthy's actions forced some Communists and suspected Communists to get jobs in the private sector (oh the horror). Is this comparable? Yes, if you're a Leftist.

After the fall of the Soviet Union and the release of the Vernona tapes, we find that McCarthy was right - there were Communist spies in the US government. Why is the Left still portraying Stalinists as innocent victims and McCarthy as a villain? Read Coulter's book. ... How many times have we heard about Senator McCarthy's "witch-hunt" in the House Of Un-American Activities (if you can't figure out the lie from reading that sentence, read Coulter's book)? How about the innocent victims of McCarthy's "inquisition"? All staged for and by the Leftist press? Read Coulter's book. Didn't the Republicans do McCarthy in? For the full picture and context - read Coulter's book. Does she have errors in her book? Who doesn't? But compare her mistakes to those she exposes - decide for yourself, which are more serious.

The only irritation with the book is the vocabulary - you may want to keep a dictionary at your side. She has an amusing habit of using words of Biblical origin (ex. jeremiad) instead of the Latin or Greek rooted counterparts.

... Coulter points the finger ... and says there is blood on the hands of those who supported Stalin. ... Coulter's "Treason" delivers what its title implies. Sure, only a few actually committed the crime of treason. However, when it comes to intellectual and moral treason, she is dead on...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good schtick, Ann!
Review: Ann Coulter has built an outstanding career for herself. Make up lies about the left wing. The more outrageous the better. Neocons will buy it just to project their hate.

Upon reading this book, I was going to give it 2 stars as a clever parody of the right wing wife-beater segment of society. But works like this are dangerous, as the Angry White Men who are the target audience for this "book" believe it and may use it to justify violence against their perceived "enemies".

What is next for Ann? I hear she's working on her next book "The Misunderstood Adolf Hitler- How Treasonous Liberals Destroyed the Legacy of a Great Patriot". Can't wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I suspected it all along but was surprised anyway
Review: I always suspected treachery in high places but not to this extent! The damage the democratic presidents and their accomplices have done to this country and the world is almost beyond belief! I praise Joe McCarthy for his pursuit of the truth and am sad the left has succeeded in telling his story in their favor. I praise Ann Coulter for this in depth historical study to set the record straight! One will never read or hear of it much anywhere else I think.
