Summary: Well researched...
Review: It seems a great deal of the negative reviews I have seen tend to miss the point of this very enlightening book - IT IS POINTING OUT THE VENOMOUS, BLATANT BIAS OF MEDIA OUTLETS THAT CLAIM TO BE OBJECTIVE SOURCES OF CURRENT EVENTS. I always felt the left's mainstream media control is propaganda drummed up by Limbaugh and his 20 million disciples. Apparently, I was very wrong. For those of you who say this book is not based in fact, go to LexisNexis and find out for yourself. I have spent a few evenings checking her sources and every single one I've looked into is verifiable and is not taken out of context. To all you Left-wingers, take it upon yourself to go there and prove me wrong (dont waste my tax dollars and lobby for a government study into non-fictional inaccuracies, take the time and do your own homework.) And the ignorant reviews which state Ann Coulter being "the pot that called the kettle black" by slamming liberals for slamming conservatives? Did you even read the book? Ann never claimed to be objective, and frankly that is not her job. The problem is claiming to be something you're not, as the mainstream press does with great frequency. I still can't believe the amount of times they refer to conservatives as "Nazi's". What planet are these people from?

Summary: Ann Coulter: Liberal Lies; Blah, Blah, Blah.....
Review: The objective reader should be able to quickly and readily discern that Ms. Coulter is to authors what Jerry Springer is to talk show hosts. But, sensationalistic books do sell (truthful or not)!Any 'ditto head" with a taste for Rush on steroids should just LOVE this book!!

Summary: This is all typical
Review: This book nails the media for some really irresponsible stuff. Many of them have used the first amendment to try to destroy all the rest. While reading some of the reviews here I noticed something interesting. All the liberal reviewers, or those supporting that position, did exactly what Ann talks about in her book. They name called, accused her of hate, and just generally bad mouthed conservatives. There was also at least one I can remember that actualy thinks that when debate starts, democracy ends. Well, to that I can only say good, this isn't a democracy anyway, besides, debate is the hallmark of democracy, or even a Constitutional Repulic! Every single review here against Ann's position has done more to prove her point than I could ever do. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Summary: The one-star reviewers did not buy or read this book.
Review: The DNC seminar reviewers are out in full force writing childish rants that do not present any logical evidence that Ms. Coulter is off the mark. Anyone who values truth cannot ignore her points, which are well-researched and often recalled by those of us who have been aware of liberal bias in the media for years. The grown-ups of today recognize her truths each time we subject ourselves to the mainstream media. How thankful I am that her voice is being heard and is ticking off the name-calling negative reviewers. Thanks, liberal reviewers, for offering immediate support of her premise with your rants and raves (and insults to Ann Coulter's looks). You prove her point!

Summary: A pearl in an oyster
Review: If Coulter was any more "in your face" to the liberal population she'd be staring into one of Tom Daschel's nostrils. In fact, the more people who call her names based on their theoretically having read the book (not to mention the ones who call her names and openly admit they haven't read it), the more valid her work becomes. "Slander" is mainstream media-style journalism --only, in the case of Ann Coulter, there's factual documentation for each and every accusation. If the mainstream media, and the liberals in general, could provide the same level of documentation for their claims there'd be no basis for this book. They don't, so, like it or not, this is what needs to happen. What you're not going to find here, however, is an easy read. Coulter's writing style in "Slander" is horrifically convoluted at times. She seems to have so much to say and is so passionate about it, that the front half of the book is almost like riding the same roller coaster five times in succession. (I know, but there really can be too much of a good thing.) It's not until the last half of the book that she settles down and stops repeating herself incessantly (mostly). All in all, liberals will hate this book, conservatives will love it, and those who say they're conservative and claim they hate it are probably lying about being conservatives. But, according to "Slander" that's what liberals do so it shouldn't come as a big surprise.

Summary: Liberlaism: We can't disagree with you without despising you
Review: Ann Coulter is so on target with this book that any died-in-the-wool liberal must cringe when reading it. Most liberals are going to be asking themselves why they adhere to such a dying, hypocritical ideology. One of the main points of the book is how Liberals cannot debate conservatives anymore without specious reasoning and insults. There is no "we agree to disagree" anymore. If you have the audacity to disagree with a Katie Couric or Gloria Steinam disciple you are considered a morally bankrupt person whom should not be heard. Exhaustively sourced and very funny. Give it a try

Summary: How True
Review: I read her book with a knowing nod....especially when it comes to debating "liberals" on the subject of gun control. I have always called it - "like arguing with a 6 yr old", soon all reason, logic, facts and common sense are thrown out the window and you are left with, "well, no one needs one" and "you must be a gun nut (even though I live in Chicago and don't have one) and think that violence solves everything".....omg

Summary: Lots of good information questionably presented.
Review: There is much good information in Coulter's book, but it is not always presented in the most effective ways. While the book is funny (if not witty) and incisive with a large number of citations, Coulter tends to edge around her points, driving the same issues home time and time again with little regard for the structure of the book or the arguments she is trying to make. It's not until the chapter on the Fox News Channel and its "role" in the 2000 election that she truly hits her stride and figures out how to make real life events as exciting as a potboiler novel, but up to that point, Slander is a difficult, meandering read. It should, however, be considered required reading for all conservatives in the United States, and while I'd not hesitate to recommend that all liberals read it as well, there's a strong chance that despite its 800 citations and generous dose of common sense, it would not serve to convince them of Coulter's thesis. Those who can more readily identify with the issues posed by Coulter will more readily be persuaded.

Summary: A new queen of misinformation
Review: When I began this book, I was swept back to the Republican attacks on Dukakis. The book is a confirmation that when the right wing sees that they represent a narrow group of self serving individuals, who cannot look the American people in the face and say we are for this or that, they must project their feeling onto others. At that point, they pull out some right wing talking head and create a piece of tripe like this. Sincerely yours, drandmsde

Summary: Listen to those liberal squeals
Review: SLANDER is a great book documented with fact after fact, liberals just cannot except the truth. They are so used to the biased media slanting news to the liberal view that they vomit all over themselves when the other side is heard. Sean, Antonio(the real airhead) and Kathleen quickly go on the attack, because Ann Coulter hits the mark time after time. Liberals can't even be honest with themselves, just check out the footnotes in the book and there is no argument that Ann is once and for all exposing what's happening to this country. Debate not lies is the answer.
