Summary: The Truth Hurts Liberals
Review: A great book and alot of true facts that the liberals do not want to admit to and all they can do as uusual is cry and call the author names. It's a shame they can't see the wrongs of there party and own up to it. It's always somebody else with liberals.

Summary: She is one sharp woman!
Review: Whether one agrees with Ms. Coulter's political idealogy or not one has to admire her intelect and her ability to cut through nonsense and get to the haeart of what really matters. She is, and this is no exageration, one of the sharpest writers I have ever read. I have heard her talk but it was not until I started reading her book that I realized how unique a gift she had.
Like all great writers she forces you to think about certain issues in a different light and from different angles.
All I can say is that I have nothing but admiration for her abilities.

Summary: Coarsening public debate
Review: The point of this book is vitriol. The author has no point to make, no idea to illuminate, beyond We Are Right and They Are Evil. (Not even "wrong," but "evil.") And I think this attitude is dangerous. This country was based on, and thrives from, free speech and healthy debate. Ms. Coulter's demonizing doesn't encourage meaningful debate. If you disagree with her, you are unAmerican. There are conservatives, or libertarians, that I enjoy hearing from. For example, I've learned from paying attention to Bill Kristol and Bill O'Reilly. I believe these are reasoned gentlemen who are interested in fairly advancing their points of view for the good of the country, not for the good of their wallets or their public profiles. Ms. Coulter could learn from them. But I don't think she ever will. Her mind is obviously locked tight as a drum. How sad for all of us that she uses the privilige of the public forum to discourage the exchange of ideas! I wonder what our founding fathers would think of her.

Summary: Couldn't put this book down!!
Review: What an amazing, thorough, eye-opening review of the past fifty years of political chicanery conducted by the Democrats. As one who grew up in Wisconsin through the 40's, 50's and 60's I always felt the need to apologize for the junior senator from my home state, although I didn't know why. Now I realize just how foolish I was. McCarthy deserves to be recognized and praised for his efforts on behalf of the millions of folks who, through his almost single handed efforts, survived the purges of Communism! Perhaps someone will someday be able to explain why the folks of "Hollywood" who so easily embraced the Communists of fifty years ago are now so eager to defend the regimes of Iraq, Iran, and every other banana republics out there who murder, rape, mutilate and starve their own people.

Summary: Liberal Deceit
Review: Ann Coulter is known the world over for her loathing of Democrats and left- leaning individuals. She has written several books relating to this subject and many of them become best- sellers. In this book, Coulter exposes (or attempts to expose) what she feels are some of the key problems with liberals and the liberal way of thinking. Does Coulter score a knock- out punch? Well, not really. Some of her points are valid and they make sense, while others are not very logical and are often hypocritical. It's true, for example, that liberals, in general, control the media and promote government programs. It's also true that they deliberately attack conservatives whenever the opportunity arises yet they treat liberals with much greater leniency, even when a conservative and a liberal candidate for office have done or spoken exactly the same thing. There is a definite liberal bias in the media, and every one knows it. Coulter makes other claims, howver, that are a little misguided and she also sticks her own foot in her mouth on several occasions. There's one part in the book where she is talking about the "Religious Right" and trying to rationalize with the reader that this group is not really a threat. Why? because it doesn't have an official headquarters with leaders and other officials! This is a little bit silly, and I'm surprised that Coulter cannot see her own foolishness. Just because there is no official organization doesn't mean that a particular group should be excused from its political undertakings and written off as harmless. It's a known fact that the Religious Right tends to be conservative and its members have taken pride in the fact that they have helped swing elections in favor of conservatives and have helped to push through their own theocratic- laden legislation into several state law books. It makes no difference whether the group has an official organization or not and Coulter knows this. She is only defending them because the members are mostly conservatives. I don't like the fact that Coulter resorts to so much name calling in this book. It makes her a hypocrite, in my opinion, because she is engaing in exactly the same bevahior that she claims is so wrong with liberals. I also don't like the fact that she claims to be so pro- liberty, yet she supports such government intrusiveness and anti- liberty policies as the war on drugs and other things. This is the type of book that will get mixed reviews. I recommend reading it only if you're a dyed- in- the- wool Republican or if you have strong conservative leanings. Otherwise, Ann's bashing of liberals in general will really get under your skin.

Summary: Coulter is spot on !
Review: Let's face it. If your not of a conservative mind set you probably won't like this book. I'm a conservative. And I LOVED this book. Coulter's style is enormously entertaining AND illuminating. After your finished with this book go out and get Treason - also a great book. I just love her bare fisted take no prisoners approach. No milquetoast she!

Summary: Ann Coulter for President!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is well written and provides the reader with enough facts to clearly see liberals for what they are (and aren't). It's refreshing to cut through the politically correct, "feel good" veneer of our society and examine the issues for what they really are. The main stream media (perhaps excepting Fox) sidestep these issues and news anchors simply villify those who don't conform to their ideas of political correctness. Let's put Hillary Clinton toe to toe with Ann Coulter and let them debate. Whether liberal or conservative, right or left, majority or minority, this is a thought provoking and good read to consider.

Summary: Only with Freedom of Speech....
Review: The author of this book is proof that we live in a democracy, one that upholds the freedom of speech. I have read this strangely ideological book. More recently, I watched the author give an interview on MSNBC. How can I say this: I could not believe my ears. I thought: Where does she get this stuff? I also thought this: I pity the young people who are just learning 20th century history. In her new work on Joe McCarthy, which I haven't read, but which she described in the interview, she described the destructive Senator from Wisconsin as a great American hero, if I am remembering correctly. Speechless. As I said, only in the United States could a person appear on mainstream TV and be given the privilege to articulate such strange and offensive views. I thought, well, it's her right.
But I also thought that author's view of American history was deeply disturbing . I actually could not fall asleep that night, as I kept thinking about the strange things she said about McCarthy being a hero. I really began to wonder about a 'right wing conspiracy', something that I hadn't seriously entertained.
This author makes me worried that the extreme 'right wing' really takes no prisoners, and believes that the end justifies the means, that if the 'goal' is right, then it is okay to say or write ANYTHING.
Thank God for the Bill of Rights, and if you spend money on this author, I can't say it's money well-spent.

Summary: Free speech.
Review: I love the left, that attacks a book like this as a attack against free speech, while trying to stiffle Coulters right to free speech. Looks like the guardians of free speech are out to stifle it with negative feedback attackes.

Summary: Very Witty
Review: Coulter expands the work Bernard Goldberg began with Bias into relevant conjecture about true statistics. While many of her challenges are bold, she does make a few concessions promoting a much more balanced argument than Goldberg made. Outrageous attacks against this book are most likely attacks based on partisanship rather than collected, rational reasoning. (See Ch. 8: Clever is As Clever Does) While portions can be rather dry, Coulter's wit abounds in the second half with biting sarcasm that is periodically laugh out loud funny.
