Rating:  Summary: Great Review: This is one of the most well worded and thoroughly documented works to come out on any political topic in recent memory. Ms. Coulter, due to the iron clad identification of her source material, is so far above the petty sniping of the other reviewers that it isn't even funny. Ms. Coulter documents each and every word she uses from vicious leftists, no doubt because she was fully aware that vague name calling would be employed against her, and is the only weapon leftist bigots know how to use. This book not only brilliantly captures and presents the true nature of the vicious left and their media cohorts, but it will also completely convince you that these people are simply mean.Five cheers (and stars) for Ann Coulter and her matchless literary style.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful, biting sarcasm! A fun read. Review: Anne Coulter documents the bias in the news that all of us have heard over the years and inserts her sharp commentary about media bias. Many people may not agree with what she says, but I don't think that's the point. She provides extensive, well documented quotes from those in the main stream media and lets readers know exactly what she thinks about it. This is what makes the book so enjoyable. I think her perspective is interesting and I love the sarcastic wit and humor of the book.
Rating:  Summary: This book will boil liberals blood! Review: For those of us who have long been aware of the Left's tactics of deceit (lies) and name-calling (hate speech), this book is sure to energize you. With one example after another, properly footnoted, the collective picture becomes clear of the Left's contempt for any person right-of-center, also known as the vast right-wing conspiracy. Hopefully this book will help foster a true debate on ideas, a prospect quite frightening to liberals. It is obviously having an impact as evidenced by Katie Couric's very defensive interview of Ann Coulter on June 26.
Rating:  Summary: A Witty Engaging Book Review: Although not always as precise in her criticims of the liberal elite as I would prefer, her examples of bias are so great in number, one cannot go about reading this book without honestly acknowledging Ms. Coulter has something here. She is without a doubt one of the wittiest conservative writers today. Her style, which I finding engaing, is no holds barred. For a conservative this is a great read, for a liberal a must read.
Rating:  Summary: Finally, someone writes the truth. Review: For many years, a plurality of Americans have known the truth about the mainstream media (i.e., that it is dominated by liberal-thinking people). Finally, someone has the grit to say so. I recommend Coulter's new book.
Rating:  Summary: You should buy this book!!! Review: This book is a real good book. Ann Colter does a very good job of telling about the lies and myths of the libral media. She says how librals like to talk down to religous people and to southerners because it helps them feel smarter and superier. In the book she also talks about how the media is controlled by librals which is why she is never able to get on talk shows and she won't be able to advertise for her book. This is a shame because it is a real good book. She also talks about how mean spirited librals are because they don't like to argue with conservitives but they just calls them names. In the book, she calls Katy Couric the Eva Brown of day time talk shows because she is so mean to her guests. You should really buy this book so you to can learn about how librals lie and control the media.
Rating:  Summary: A Breath of Fresh Air Review: Ann Coulter is John Galt. Using Twain and Swift-like wit, Ann proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the left-wing news emperors wear no clothes. Slander is a provocative blend of fact and humor that'll keep you up all night chuckling at the hypocrisy, absurdity and obsoleteness of the Dan Rathers, Peter Jennings, Bryan Gumbels, Katie Courics, et al, etc., ad nausea, as they rush to spin the daily news in a manner that makes Carville and Begala cackle with glee in order to tap dance Ma and Pa Kettle out in fly-over country into voting for the Donkey. I'd recommend it for both those on the Left as well as those on the Right. It's an absolute must for Journalism students.
Rating:  Summary: Poorly researched and very unbalanced Review: I am both a Republican and conservative, but I have no use for this woman's rantings. I may disagree with liberals, but Coulter goes too far when she accuses liberals of being anti-American, unpatriotic, and supporters of Islam (the only religion liberals like, according to Coulter). Are you going to tell me George McGovern, who risked his life as a fighter pilot in WWII, is not patriotic? And are you going to tell me all the Republican war-wimps like Newt Gingrich are? There is hypocrisy on both sides, but Coulter can't see the conservative phonies. We have our share, too, and having a thoughtless spokeswoman does not do credit to the cause.
Rating:  Summary: Many people are angered by this book, mission accomplished Review: I have noticed that there are a lot of negative reviews about this book, and nearly all of them are from liberals. I am not liberal or conservative (libertarian), but I enjoyed this book and am not surprised one bit by the liberal response. The fact is that liberals do control the media, or liberal thinkers voice their opinions as a priority in the media...a recent poll suggested that well over a majority of Americans believe a bias exists...so her reports on this are nothing to condemn her on. There are no books that are in the same light that attack Conservatives in the same way, and the reason is that they have no facts. This book is facts, and she backs up every point. Say what you will about her writing, but the content cannot be refuted.
Rating:  Summary: "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus": Political Version Review: Great Book and Fast Read. If the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" taught us that men and women communicate differently, then Ann Coulter's Slander does the same for liberals and conservatives. Ann explains how liberals handle conservative arguments and describes how the two camps approach public policy debate with quite different styles. Ann's on-the-mark analysis is supported by countless facts and sound arguments. The extensive footnotes in the back of the book provide a treasure trove of primary source materials that alone make the book worth the money. Ann's style and wit left me laughing throughout the read (though many of her conclusions of America's left are disheartening though not entirely surprising). Great book and a fast, fun read.
