Rating:  Summary: I agree Review: with Al Franken. There's something seriously wrong with this woman. Seriously. Even God thinks so.
Rating:  Summary: Quite a negative, hysterical back lash for no good reason Review: Quite unsurprisingly of the negative responses to Ms. Coulter's book are an accompanying and complete lack of comprehension of the difference between "feelings" and "facts". This book, as well as being entertaining, is scholarly and carefully researched. I would recommend it, highly, to anyone that claims to have a thinking and open mind. Regarding the negative criticism, all that has been demonstrated are the usual vitriolic polemics aimed at someone who holds views opposed to their own; clearly, okay for liberals to stake a claim to the higher, moral ground but, how dare anyone else try it? Not just typical but pathetically so. No facts to counter with, just the same, tired, "Liar, liar, pants on fire" finger pointing tactics that have worked so well and so long for the left. Where is that vaunted "open mindedness and fairness to all" posture when you really need it most? Just a posture, I guess.Great material and thought provoking if anyone out there has but the eyes to see. And this opinion from a registered Democrat who feels as if the left has hoodwinked her.
Rating:  Summary: Oh Boy...This book is remarkable Review: I started reading this with a lot of trepidation but what I read far exceded my wildest imagination. This book has hit an all-time low in publishing standards. I was in total amazement that this actually got published. It sounds like the crazed rantings of a conspiracy theorist's web site. Not only are a lot of the arguments patently false, it appears poorly edited and offers incredible examples of circular logic. You really don't even know were to start to refute some of these claims. Here's a little excerpt about Gore and the famous, "I Invented the Internet" quote: 'You see, technically, precisely what Gore said was this: "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." This is supposed to be completely different from claiming he had "invented" the Internet. In point of fact, "create" is a synonym for "invent." Any thesaurus will quickly confirm this. If Gore said he took the initiative to create, develop, devise, or produce the Internet, all of those would be false. An accurate paraphrase is not untrue simply for being a paraphrase. If Gore had said he invented the Internet in French, he still would have said he invented the Internet and it still would have been preposterous.' Huh??? Somewhere an 8th grade English teacher just commited suicide. The far right would do themselves a favor by distancing themselves from this woman.
Rating:  Summary: Horrible. Review: The only way to not see all the inaccuracies in this book is to not want to see them. Coulter constantly twists the truth(and often tells flat out lies) to try and get her (flawed) point across. She gives conservatives a bad name. Read this book if you want a good laugh, but for God's sake, don't buy the thing.
Rating:  Summary: Coulter's Wet Dream Review: A college professor is seated before a congressional committee. A hysterical congresswoman, wearing a black micromini - who was once a right wing pundit, asks, "... are you, or were you, ever a member of the liberal Democratic party?" Have you no sense of decency, ma'am? Obviously not.
Rating:  Summary: Dear Condi... Review: Dear Condi - Thank you so much for helping me to promote my book, Against All Enemies. It's now on its 5th printing in less than two weeks, and it's flying out of the bookstores! I really appreciate your tireless promotion on radio and cable news channels. Couldn't have done it without you, hon. Thanks for bolstering my credibility too! You cited my letter of resignation as an example of inconsistency? MY RESIGNATION LETTER?!?! LOL. You have to admit, that's pretty funny. Are you intentionally refusing to testify under oath to make me look better? If you are thanks! Warm Regards, Richard Clarke
Rating:  Summary: Public Health Warning for Conservative Pundits Review: The hearbreak and embarrassment of Obsessive Clinton Disorder: Obsessive Clinton Disorder (OCD): Strange psychological malady that causes conservative pundits to become obsessed with the Clinton administration. It is believed to be related to obsessive compulsive disorder, except the sufferers delusions are limited to conspiracies conerning Bill and Hillary Clinton. The affliction extends to a type of paranoia in extreme cases, such as those involved in the Whitewater investigation. Obsessive Clinton Disorder sufferers are known to attribute all Republican administration short coming or failure to the Clinton adminstration, regardless of how obviously delusional it may seem to the non-afflicted. Often sufferers of this horrible mental illness can not speak more that ten minutes without referencing Bill or Hillary Clinton. The paranoia extends as far as to accusing Clintons of murder, such as the case of Vince Foster and others. Apart from paranoia, this affliction also impairs the ability to reason, attributing any and all gains in employment, the economy, foreign policy, to preceding Republican administrations, while attributing failures of the present administration to the Clintons. Religious right sufferers often confuse Clinton with the devil, and blame Clinton for a perceived decline in societal morality. Examples of advanced stages of this affliction include Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Jerry Fawell. While there is no cure for Obsessive Clinton Disorder, those close to someone afflicted with this illness are asked to do their best not to laugh out loud at them, though this may at times be quite difficult. Remember, this is still an illness, regardless how unintentionally hysterical their Clinton rants often are.
Rating:  Summary: April Declared, "Clinton Free Month" by NAB Review: Right-wing commentators are being asked during the month of April to go five minutes or more without mentioning Bill Clinton in their "Clinton Free Month". Said one NAB fficial, "Clinton left office three years ago, yet pundits like Hannity, Limbaugh, and Coulter can't go more than five minutes without mentioning his name. It seems a sort of psychological malady. We are doing this for them, to try to ween them off their weird Clinton obsession in the hopes the national dialogue improves a little."
Rating:  Summary: BFS Reaches Epidemic Porportions Review: President Bush's tasteless and insensitive wmd jokes at a recent black tie media dinner has created a wide-spread epidemic of Bush Fatigue Syndrome, according to World Health Organization officials. BFS is a tragic disease afflicting Bush supporters who suffer from exhaustion from the daily need to defend the president's blunders. These crude, inappropriate remarks came on the heels of Richard Clarke's, Against All Enemies allegations of incompetence in fighting the war on terror. Bush Fatigue Syndrome: an illness similar to chronic fatigue syndrome. It is caused by the strain of the constant daily need to defend or rationalize the poor decisions, horrible domestic record, and foreign policy blunders of the president. Die-hard Republicans are especially prone to get this disease. It reached epidemic porportions after no wmds were found in Iraq, and Bush supporters had to sell the case that we "really" went to war to "liberate the Iraqi" people. Additional flair-ups occured after the last SOU address, after every monthly employment report, general accounting reports regarding the historic deficits (especially when inheriting a budget surplus is referenced), and the president's fumbled interview on Meet the Press. Symptoms include extreme exhaustion, irritability, and dizziness. Republicans inflicted with BFS must stay quarantined until after the November election.
Rating:  Summary: Ann Wins Review: This book is the narrow winner in the hotly contested, "Inane Arments, Stupid Generalizations, Bad 'footnotes'" category. Sean Hannity was runner up. This book's audience wants the directive: "Don't take my money and give it to Black people" stated in many creative but non-cryptic ways. Evidence for assertions is not needed. Footnotes are like the ones fraternity party guys used in college: the "notes" are there but if you look them up, they invariably don't support the assertions. They are there at the end of the paper to make things look "academic"." There will always be an audience in America for this sort of book. People who are actually interested in politics shouldn't get near this book.
