Rating:  Summary: haven't read this but I thought i'd say Review: Liberals, stop obsessing over her just because she has nice legs and because she has more guts than the entire Democratic party.that's pretty much a direct quote from a liberal, MICHAEL MOORE. just thought i'd say that. and i think i'll read this even thoguh I lean to the left.
Rating:  Summary: Just Answer the Questions, PLEASE! Review: A very revealing and thought-provoking book. Having read it and read the 'reviews' of it, lets take some of Anne's philosophy and run with it...CHALLENGE HER FACTS! Please don't use cliche-garbage phrases like 'Right-Wing Conspiracy', 'Clinton-bashing', 'Ditto-heads', 'it's all lies', and so on. Please just say 'yes' or 'no' as to whether the accusations in this book are valid. I don't want to hear about how great things were economically under Clinton, (mind you, I have no idea what Clinton did to deserve credit for the economy, other than just being in office at the right time,) or 'it's all about sex'...I merely want to know is what she says the truth, and if it's not, than what is? The only fault I can find in her writing is sometimes she gets a bit too passionate about some items in the book. It's great to finally see someone who cares, though...and to get another perspective on current events other than the mainstream media. Keep it up, Anne! We love you!
Rating:  Summary: Insipid Hogwash Review: Worse than a female Rush Limbaugh, more vicious than a cornered rat, not powerful at all, Ms. Coulter seems to be little more than a bandwagon jumper who will find shortly that the bandwagon now is horseless. The premise of the book got my attention and got me to read it. However, lest there be any confusion, the title of the book is not reflective of the contents which are little more than the collective ramblings of a pre-modern maniac depressive. There is some clarity to her thought process in stark contrast to the drug induced largely incoherent ramblings of Mt. Limbaugh. Bottom line - read the book if you want to try to comprehend the otherise incomprehenisble but try to borrow it so Ms. Coulter is not financially rewarded for her bigotry.
Rating:  Summary: Why Ann Coulter? Why.... Review: Ann Coulter really embarresses herself with this book. In my mind it was just poorly written. I wrote papers similar to this in high school where I wrote one paragraph on a statement I make. This book is just a series of statements that Ann Coulter makes, writes one paragraph in defense of it and then goes onto another statement. She never supports any of her "facts" with "evidence." Though, she does make some pretty good statements which made me think even about my slightly left views. If you want to support your conservitive bias without having to think at all, read this book. If you want a well written book, read Al Franken's. Both have their excellent points, but at least Franken knows how to write a thesis, support it with facts, conclude it, call it a chapter, then go onto the next topic. Many times taking several pages to support his well-thought out points. Make several of these and you have got yourself a "book." Ms. Coulter, please if you write again concentrate on a few topics, talk about them, analyze them, support them with facts, come to a conclusion, then publish it. Slander was just an embarresment of American political literature. DO NOT buy this book, but maybe take a look at it... or at least get it used.
Rating:  Summary: Clear, cogent, concise... to accuse Ann of less is slander Review: I read the book. It's a real page turner, well reasoned and engagingly written. Missing is the wild, blind, hate mongering she is often accused of. In light of the actual book, the accusations are ludicrous. Her far-out extemeist, radical, right wing views turn out to be what at least half the country embraces as "Mom, baseball and apple pie." Misquotes and out-of-context quotes slamming her are clearly intended to discredit and defame her -- and to keep you from reading her book... Why? Obviously, there is a certain intellectully shaky idealolgy that feels deeply threatened by her expose style of writing and her well documented arguments. I think what irks them most is her use of humor and her abiltiy to frame their actions in the light of thoughtful analysis (and a touch of ridicule). It makes them look absurd, and if there is one thing fools cannot suffer, it's being exposed as fools. As a result of reading the outrageously disparate reviews on Amazon, my 17 year-old son ordered both of Ann's recent books to write reports on them... Ahhhh, there is hope for the youth of America -- Thanks, Ann.
Rating:  Summary: Prominent Work Review: One of the most compelling, well documented pieces of work that depicts the true danger of liberal thinking. Reveals their elitist, hegemonic personas. Liberal bigotry subsists on the oxygen of sanctimony. They are true socialists who want to derive their power from our tax money.
Rating:  Summary: Amazon, You Can't Censor Me Review: I wrote a glowing review of this book over a week ago and it hasn't been placed on this page because of some "questionable" things I said therein. I used no profanity, racial-slurs, or any other kind of derogatory comment -- all I did was praise the book. That's questionable. Yet it's okay for other liberal reviewers to say things like "wipe your butt with this book". So, apparently, the only way you can get away with saying slanderous things on Amazon is if you hate this book. The two reviews that they chose to feature at the top of the page both are against the book. So, basically, what happened to me on this page proves the thesis of the book! Read it and you'll see what I mean.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: Just finished it. I enjoyed all of it. Basically, AC makes explicit what many people already have a sense of: liberal elites hate America and the common working people who believe in the Almighty.
Rating:  Summary: This is depressing Review: Re: The middle east- "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity". Yes, she actually said that. I wish I could find humor and truth in that the way so many others do (maybe my life would be happier if I only reasoned at such a simplistic level) but I just can't. Ann is full of this type of reasoning. According to her the world is black and white. Conservatives=Good, Liberals=Bad. My only worry about this is there are so many people who are deeply entrenched in that type of reasoning. They believe her words (which are proven to be misleading at best/straight falshoods at worst in this book) and go about vomiting out her hatred and lies to others. The world is a complex place, and not everything is quite as black and white as some would have you believe. At least TRY to look a little deeper than what people like Coulter would like you to think. The sad part is, many of these people who take Ann's words at heart probably have children, who will absorb this ignorance and develop to be as biased, one-sided and misguided as their parents. My best wishes go out to all of you who read this book and take it at face value. You'll need the help.
Rating:  Summary: California is the most glaring current example Review: Schwarzenegger is unable to be Governer because he "may" have groped some women in the past. Clinton however was fine to be Commander in Chief even after admitted oral sex in the Oval Office. Liberal = Hypocrite.
