Summary: The Right and Left Hate this Book
Review: Leaving aside any ideological objections, which could fill an entire book, lets deal with FACTS. Ann needs some help here.Don't be fooled by the list of references and the bibliography at the end. Ann Coulter is adept at weaving a complex web of abused sources to form something resembling a coherent argument. Of course there is a ring of truth to some of what she's written, but as usual, she mixes it together with a large dose of exaggeration and equivication. If you're really paying attention, it's easy to see why not just liberals, but many conservatives (her boss David Horowitz, Andrew Sullivan, Cathy Young, Dorothy Rabinowitz etc.) and even her own sources (Ron Radosh, the conservative McCarthy scholar) most importantly) have thoroughly trashed this book. Treason needs some context for the layman, so please read ABOUT this book too. You will be a skeptic by the second chapter. If you're enamored by the "facts" poke around on Google and you'll find some (sometimes questionable) Ann Coulter fact-checking sites. You might not be so floored by this book. This book really shows Ms. Coulter for what she is: an entertainer. She throws anything resembling an academic work out the window in order to pander to those who want to indulge themselves in their own narrow ideology. Historical and political REALITY does not resemble what Coulter is selling. Please don't buy it.

Summary: Liberal-bashing.....how original......
Review: This book is a complete joke. I won't get into all of my various problems with it, I'm sure you'll see that in PLENTY of other reviews, from liberals and conservatives alike. But defending MacCarthyism? Statements like this alone just go to show that Coulter cannot back up a word she says and her entire book is unfounded liberal-bashing. I am all for free speech, but if you're going to knock liberals, please do a bit of homework first to back up your accusations. Plus, trying to undermine our already-ailing two-party system is the REAL treason. Don't waste your time or money on this piece of junk.

Summary: Excellent Read! Could not put it down!
Review: Another entertaining and educational book by Ann Coulter. I found myself unable to put this book down until I completely finished it. Ms. Coulter makes some facinating observations. I have to agree with her that the only patriotic liberal is Tony Blair, and he is in England!!! The definition of patriotic is "Feeling, expressing, or inspired by love for one's country", and how many liberals do you see doing this? How many feel love for this country? Sure, it is fine for the liberals to say that Bin Laden was "justified" to attack us on 9-11 because we have poked him too much. But I find it interesting that the liberals can tell us we have to understand and respect the beliefs of terrorists of the Middle East, yet they can not understand and respect the beliefs of our president! Why is it understandable that a man would like to kill 3000 people who have never hurt him, yet to try to stop a terrorist from killing hundreds of thousands of people is wrong? Ann Coulter nailed the liberal attitude in her book. It is really great fun to read.

Summary: Doesn't go Far Enough
Review: "Treason" just might be one of the most important books ever published. Finally intellectual conservatives have gained enough credibility for the ultra liberal NYC publishing industry to publish a book which directly exposes and then attacks the treasonous liberal soul. Prayerfully there is much more to come. "Treason" deals mostly with how the liberal affinity for big gov't led liberals to spy for, or support those who spied for, the big gov't of the Soviet Union even as that gov't was killing 50 million or so of its own citizens. But there is so much more to come! There is no mention of domestic policy; of how, for example, liberal big gov't Welfare schemes directed primarily at Blacks amounted to little more than genocide as more young Blacks went to jail than to college, as illegitimacy rates rose to 70%, and as, almost, the complete destruction of the Black family was realized. Moreover, there is no mention of how the liberal cancer is killing millions even today. For example, liberal political correctness prevents us from going to Africa or impoverished Muslim countries and speaking the truth, i.e., "you're savages, millions of your children are dying needlessly; here's what you need to do: adopt our Constitution, adopt capitalism, and invite our army or an army in to kill those who oppose these civilizing reforms." But, liberalism is the spirit of our times; it hates the Constitution, capitalism, and the army; so millions of innocent babies continue to die slow deaths in their mother's arms as liberals continue to experiment with an ever growing list of goofy, failed, and very deadly liberal programs that ultimately do nothing more than such programs did for the Soviet Union, China, or Cuba.
Regardless of moral issues, 9/11 taught us the strategic implications of how a failed liberal foreign policy toward even the most impotent and impoverished countries can lead to terror here at home. Accordingly, overcoming liberalism is as important as ever. "Treason" is a brilliant and revolutionary start. Let's pray that there is much more to come. In the mean time there is "The War on The Poor" and "Understanding the Difference Between Democrats and Republicans" If this doesn't make perfect sense please contact me to explain why?

Summary: "Treason..." and Ann Coulter provide interesting perspective
Review: As with her last book ("Slander:Liberal Lies About The American Right"), Ms. Coulter offers a detailed account of liberalism's impact on our society. Look, this is just plain fascinating reading. If you want to have an intelligent opinion regarding the American political scene, you must explore as many intelligent points of view as possible. Give this book a try!

Summary: Exposing the Traitors of America
Review: Ann Coulter, the most talked-about conservative commentators is one gutsy lady who not afraid to tell the truth on those nasty liberals. I have to agree with her. Liberals are not nice. They have for years tried to tear down the walls of America and destroy our liberty and freedom. After her controversial bestseller 'Slander' brought the attention of many critics and non-critics. In 'Slander' she exposes the liberal lies in American politics that have disintegrated the American right. She has done so with fine-tooth comb research to reveal in a time when free choice of party as friendly, American politics have turned hostile. Her second look at liberal treachery in her new book 'Treason' leaves no stones unturned. Coulter examines in 'Treason' a 60-year history of the Cold War to the present day, including the careers of Senator Joe McCarthy, Ronald Reagan meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, the Gulf War and the present war on terrorism. As far as the liberals are concerned who stick their nose in every major domestic and foreign policy business should be off-limits to political debate. Proving their meaning of patriotism is communism in diguise. Being not only wrong but dangerous to the liberties, security and way of Christian life in the United States. During the time of Truman and the Cold War all the way to Kennedy and Nixon to Carter and Clinton they've tried to hold back, relieve and withdraw and even sacrifice America's best interest and freedom. As in the words of Coulter "Liberals have a preternatural gift for always striking a position on the side of treason." She goes on to say, "Everyone says liberals love America, too. No, they don't." And from what I've learned she's dead-on right. In today's current events, with all the exposure available to everyone if you don't see what's wrong with America's morals. Then it's like the blind leading the blind. This is also available on audio cassette.

Summary: Coulter is right on with a big splash of political humor
Review: Ann is witty and her work is brilliant and well documented. After reading this take a look at Joseph Persico's "Roosevelt's Secret War." His book validates Coulter's review of how FDR and liberals in charge of the war effort did a very poor job of keeping our war technology from falling into the hands of the Germans and Russia. Take a close look at what she says about Senator Joe McCarthy. His mission was right, but his methods less than acceptable. He was demonized by the liberals who sympathized with the likes of the socialists/communists.

Summary: Christian...I think not!
Review: Ok. Not a lot of charity and christian fellowship in the comments surrounding this book. A lot of finger pointing, frustration and blame-placing though. Good work Ann! Always profitable to fuel the hate mill. And hey, pour gasoline on the fire in this regard isn't just about making money it's also just plain old wacky fun!
Hatred and bigotry are good business, and they obviously sell books. Not that I would buy this "bit o' fluff", you see, I believe in the Public Library system in this country, the one that the current Regime is gutting. Perhaps book burnings will be next...but wait, we've already started burning CD's of the Dixie Chicks, cause they don't like "he who can't be named" so we're already half-way home! I'm fairly sure Ann would have preferred they be hanged for their comments.
I must say, speaking of treason, it's just so ultra-patriotic to turn Americans against each other now. We really need to try to divide this country even further toward two armed camps. Get Americans at each others throats so that when we are attacked again, we can be in total disarray pointing fingers at each other. Once again...good work Ann! Seems to me there are quite a few people commenting about this book who wouldn't mind seeing some people (who don't agree with Ann's assessment of the state of this country) put in concentration camps. Perhaps one of the camps could be named for Ann herself...Camp Coulterwitz! How cool is that? Way cool! I'm sure Ann would be proud, with her strong Arian good looks and long blonde hair...and my, but is it just me or does she have a delightful Arian sense of humor or what? I would imagine she would consider gassing liberals to be a victory! And what better way to celebrate that victory than with a lovely, fun and rousing Bundt Rally...P>I can't believe this has bugged me enough to even dignify this turd of a book with a comment, but I guess I can only hope to shame someone, anyone, who feels that hatred and blaming are positive uses of their time, to reconsider their options. We need to try to work together now more than ever. And to have a seemingly brain-dead twit (I KNOW she's not stupid, but man, this book could really fool anyone!) like Coulter stirring the pot of hatred like this is amazingly counter-productive. With over 700 comments, it's obvious that this pile of self-aggrandizing evil has been sold to someone. And of course, it's every Americans right, to go out and spend their hard earned money on whatever crap they feel like blowing it on. Personally, I'd have more fun flushing my money down the toilet...which is where this book was written from, and it's where it belongs. Stop hating each other. How many people who are expressing this level of hatred consider themselves to be Christians? Coulter supposedly does, if I am not mistaken. But her words speak to a level of knowing evil that says hey, if I can make a buck at feeding people vitriol...why not? She is a pragmatist who is strictly doing what it takes to pack her bank account. She is also supporting an agenda that is trying to drive Americans toward mindless hatred and violence. Aren't we supposed to be better than this? Aren't we supposed to stand for a higher level of human discourse? Please...everyone who has read this and wants to kill someone, take a deep breath and ask yourself, if you consider yourself a Christian...would Christ own an assault rifle? Would Christ want to put a cap in anyone's ass? Would Christ want to brand an entire segment of any population as traitors because of their honest feelings and actions? If 'your' answer to these questions is yes, then this is the book for you! If you haven't bought this book, please don't. If you want to read this book, go to your local library. They aren't partisan, they provide for all sorts of opinions, vile and otherwise. Ann Coulter is, simply put, a vile and disgusting person, and her hate mongering should not be given any other voice than her own. I guarantee, if she didn't have a readership that paid out their good money for this future landfill material, she'd go back to being what we all can admit to loving and honoring...a lawyer! Keep that in mind when you think of her as the second coming of Christ...

Summary: Sad, mean, pitiful
Review: Well, no one would ever accuse Coulter of being a great prose writer. The language in this book certainly comes from someone trained as a lawyer - it's not prose designed to be read, but designed to be spat out in a harangue. Indeed, why is it that conservatives spit out the word "liberal" as if it was some foul epithet? Why is it that conservatives stand for Christian beliefs but rarely practice mercy and compassion, understanding and empathy, prefer to cast stones everywhere they can and never turn the other cheek? Yep, Coulter and others play the same game: they would prefer to play the part of Ebenezer Scrooge and believe any other consideration is worth nothing less than "Bah! Humbug". Can I suggest that Coulter spend less time writing columns and books, boosting her public profile by using self-aggrandising attack as some sort of platform for her "It's Everyone Else's Fault" beliefs, and less time playing the blame game... and perhaps a little more time contributing something positive to this world. As an author, Coulter makes a fine lawyer.

Summary: Jessica coulter might be the stupidest person of all time
Review: I will start off by saying that despite the fact that i am a liberal, I cannot deny that plenty of conservatives have written thought provoking books and can effectively defend their arguments. Jessica coulter, however, is not one of them. She makes broad statements and generalizations that she never substantiates. If you were to take a conservative dumb blonde and have her write a book, it would end up something like this.
