Summary: She's the best
Review: This lady is brilliant,bold and beautiful NOT a bitchy,boozy broad as her liberal critics call her but they areso obviosly jealous of her wit,wisdom and total feminine charm they just can't stand it.Her book gives the lie to all the liberal propaganda in mainstream media.from (my mother hated america) Jennings to I love the Clintons&Sadamn-- Rather and I'll quit if you broadcast Clintons'rape allegations before the senates'vote onIMPEACHMENT Brokaw. She chewed up Couric and Donahue I wonder if that,s why msnbc FIRED him.National Review lost me when Goldberg dropped her column after 9/11.Hope his wife is doing well in the transportation department,also wonder if a little anti christian bias reared it's head when she heatedly(remember this was right after9/11) wrote we should go over there kill their terrorist leaders and turn them all into christians.I guess her passion was too much I guess she should have been more like the head of Rueters who refused to call those"freedom fighters" terrorists who just killed 3000 people.Later of coursethey decided they probably were terrorists after all.Ifshe ever runs for president she'll not only have my vote I will go all over the country campaigning and spendall my money unless of course she picks senator clinton as her runnng mate.Thats all folks!

Summary: Interesting title Stupid book
Review: You will only need to read the first 20 pages before throwing book away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: On the money
Review: Ann's point for point dismissal of every liberal myth about conservatives is a joy to read. Attempts by libs to brush Ann off as hypocritical obviously do not get Ann's sense of humor and joy at getting under libs' skin. As great as this book has done in sales, it illustrates the point that many Americans agree with Ann and are elated that finally someone called liberals on all their pseudo-intellectual garbage.
Ann is right! Those in denial of this prove that the truth hurts!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ann is right
Review: If you are a liberal read this book and prepare to be angry! Just read the reviews by liberals above who resort to the same time of name calling described in this book. Ms. Coulter painstakingly documents every one of her points and her publishing company even required her to cut some of her footnotes! She has been attacked and fired for her position, but the American people must agree with her because her book immediately shot to the number one position on the New York Times Best Seller List. This book was an amazing read, full of details that every American, especially well-informed conservatives should know!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ann Coulter is a hottie!!
Review: Not only is she a hottie, she is extremely funny too. I used to be a liberal (I am recovering quickly). I know how mad I used to get when conservatives would hit me with facts and I got all flustered because I didn't have any facts to hit them back with. So when I got on the internet to find some facts to counter their arguments with, I slowly started realizing that maybe the conservatives aren't so evil after all. Socially , I am very liberal , but when it comes to defense, tax policy, schools, patriotism, I am as far right as you can go bro . Peace out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Brilliant Satirist; Literary Transvestism at its finest!
Review: Coulter's brilliant spoof of conservative tomes ranks with "A Modest Proposal" in the pantheon of mockery. So subtle is Coulter that many in the press have taken her at her word when she suggests, in a typically over-the-top commentary, that the US should kill foreign leaders and subject whole populaces to Christianity. It is a measure of popular credulity that madness like this could be presumed to emanate from someone so clearly intelligent as Coulter. In reality, she is a demure, thoughtful, almost self-effacing individual whose Andy-Kauffman-like television appearances have earned her wide respect from her fellow practitioners of comedy.

The only reason I didn't give this book five stars is that, um, it's for real.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ann is right on
Review: The book was accurate and that is why the losing liberals hate it. The can call anyone anything but when the facts are represented they get childish and personal such as Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot, " and George Clooneys remarks about Charlton Heston's tragic disease. The Libs call names but it is ignored by the media. This book calls them out on such infantilism.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Slander of her own
Review: Ms. Coulter is not exactly telling the truth (lying is such a dirty word) with this book, therefore, I think it would be best if this were located in fiction. The true slander of this book is Ms. Coulter's personal vendetta against all liberals and democrats. She is spreading lies and falsehoods to make herself look better. (Her comments have been publicly questioned and debated on several tv talk shows.)

Ms. Coulter is also a racist and has made public comments about how America should conquer all the nations of the world and convert the people to Christianity. Her intolerance is very alarming and disgusting. Quite frankly, women as hatefilled as Ms. Coulter scare me.

Though I understand Ms. Coulter has a First Amendment right to "Freedom of Speech". She is allowed to voice her opinion, no matter how dangerous it might be. That is her right, but that doesn't mean that people should read it.

So, please, people...avoid this woman who is spreading her hatred and filth. Read something that won't inspire you to go blow up an abortion clinic or a mosque...please!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally
Review: Ann Coulter's Slander is an intriguing book. I was at first turned off by the first couple of chapters, because it seemed as though her diatrabe was nothing more than what liberals do. However, as I read through I began to better understand her style. This is a great book out there for anyone who doesn't believe there is a liberal slant to the news. Of course I doubt that they'd read it. As Ann says, Liberals don't debate the actual issues, they just call you stupid and move on.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Her invective about liberals could also be called slander
Review: Ann Coulter, the attractive blonde spokesperson for right-wing conservatives, is the author of this book. Often, she appears on talk shows where she makes nasty comments about liberals. She's an attorney too, and has learned how to research and document her position. She believes it strongly and her passion for it spills over the pages of her book. Whether it's true or her diatribe is justified is another matter. The examples she gives of liberal rhetoric from, most notably, The New York Times, among others, are all footnoted at the back of the book. I haven't checked them out, but I do know that one looks hard enough, one can find documentation for almost anything.

The book decries the ways that liberals slander conservatives in the media. But her invective against liberals could also be called slander. She's smart and she knows it and is a master of using ridicule to make her points. I found some holes in her arguments, such as, after a computer search for the terms "far right extremist" and "far left extremist" she concluded that the term "far right extremist" was used much more often. This doesn't seem to be a balanced search however. The actual word "far left extremist" isn't really the term of choice when conservatives write about the left. Aren't the terms more likely "tax-and-spend liberal", or "left-winger"?

Ms. Coulter uses sarcasm and mean-spirited comments to make her points. And I found the book too long and quite repetitive. It should have been no longer than a magazine article, but she stretched it into 205 pages. But yet... I did enjoy some of it. I particularly loved her chapter on books, where she talked about books that the liberal press had refused to publish such as Rush Limbaugh's best sellers. And she made a point on her chapter on conservatives being called names rather than dealing with the issues. But doesn't she realize that she's calling names too? Only she phrases them in the jargon of intellectual snobbery. Sometimes she's amusing and I laughed out loud. But other times there is just page after page of the same old stuff. Also, because I'm not as familiar with some of the columnists and personalities she deals with daily in Washington, I was often bored.

I like to read books by people who are passionate about a topic. And therefore I found it an enjoyable read. But she made all her points in the introduction. After that, it's just one long complaint about the way things are and the way she'd like them to be. If you're very interested in the subtleties of political thinking and the various ways that the media insults conservatives, you might find this book mildly interesting. All others stay away.
