Summary: Will liberals never learn?
Review: I can't believe that even on the reviews here at Amazon, anyone writing negatively about this book has no substantive argument. The best they can do is one or two sentences of name-calling? As Ann spells out, in the simplest and best-documented terms possible, the Left has no logic--its best described as a mental disorder. Come on Liberals! Wow us with your Ivy League educations and refute EVEN ONE OF ANN's ARGUMENTS!! Ann covers it all--the Left biased media, the 2000 election fiasco where the Left would do anything to win (how many times do the votes need to be recounted with Bush winning EVERY TIME!) The mythical Christian Right with 1/10 of the political dollar contribution of TRIAL ATTORNEYS. Ann is brilliant on that one--just who exactly are these Christian Right, old ladies playing bingo named Maude? (These old ladies seem to scare the left quite a bit!) This is a serious book and Ann has been meticulous at footnoting and referencing all the research. Of course, Ann had to document every last detail to mitigate what will sure be an avalanche of fatuous liberal reaction.
Run (don't walk) to buy this amazing book.

Summary: A Moment of Clarity
Review: This book is excellent. Although I don't share all of Ann Coulter's positions on the issues, the well-documented facts that she presents in the book lend full credence to her arguments. The book is both a source of fascinating information and of high entertainment. It frequently caused me to spontaneously erupt into fits of laughter (which my wife found somewhat troubling). It so interesting because it brings a long-overdue perspective into the public forum. This perspective that Ann brings to the public forum is that of cold, hard, objectivity, and it is supported with a vast arsenal of factual material. I apologize for using cliche but here goes anyway: while reading the book, I often thought to myself "that is so true," and "I never thought of it that way." I love the rare book that makes me think such thoughts.

Summary: A Primer in Constitutional Law and Common Sense
Review: I'm familiar with Ms. Coulter's columns, and expected more of the same from this book. I bought this on a whim in the airport and read it on a long flight. Surprise: this book is superb. Ms. Coulter is one of the few columnists in America who cuts deftly through the paralyzing political correctness afflicting the U.S. She says what few will say, and it doesn't always work. This book works brilliantly. Her trademark wit remains razor-sharp, but this book adds several dimensions to her voice as a columnist. Given room to breathe, Ms. Coulter amazes with the sheer depth and breadth of her knowledge. Proof of her thesis comes fast with meticulous research and plentiful footnotes. She reveals herself to be an academic, a constitutional lawyer, and a patriot. This book will drive "liberals" (leftists, neo-socialists) mad -- because Ms. Coulter so clearly exposes them. Case in point: the single-star reviews that are more personal attacks on the author than "reviews" of her book. I visited Amazon.com the day this book was released, and was amused by the obvious liberals who had already "reviewed" this book before it was released. They must be clairvoyant - because they clearly haven't read this book. Invest in "Slander" -- it's a bracing slap in the face from reality that'll leave you wanting more.

Summary: It's about time!
Review: This book should have been written a long time ago. Coulter hits the target right in the bulls eye. She has the guts to tell it the way it is. GOOD JOB ANN!!

Summary: Doubting Katie
Review: I have no doubt that Ann Coulter hates the left. This isn't much a of a substantial argument against it. She makes some of the strangest claims; comparing, for example, Katie Couric with Eva Braun....

Summary: "On the fence!"
Review: Coultier's book portrays conservatives as, no-nonsense types of politicians, while they too abuse power, as well as add considerable "pork" to the country. I see them as complete Nazis! They want nobody to question their authority! Meanwhile, liberals throw words at conservatives, such as, "Homophobia/homophobic" to put them immediately on the defensive. Such a word is very powerful and persuasive, but to nip that type of slander in the bud, I would respond with an analysis of the word "homophobia". It is the fear of gays/gay lifestyle, labeling conservative types with a phobia (or fear) and a pseudo-mental illness! In the meantime, gay pride parades show the freaks and geeks wearing their fruitcake clothes, leading each other around by dog leashes!!! Hmmm! I tend to be on the conservative side, yet be quite radical. This is a good book to check out, but please be objective and try to view politics from the author's point of view!

Summary: RABBLE ROUSING
Review: Anne H. Coulter wrote her tract SLANDER to cash in on the crowd which hates "Liberals" like bigots hate ethnic groups, or African-Americans, or .... well you get the picture. Of course, she says much that is truithful. But half a truth is often a lie in disguise. It would have been useful for Coutler to begin by defining the classical meaning of the word liberal. Let's do it now from the very American Heritage Dictionary: "LIBERAL": 1.a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. c. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism" Is that bad? The other thing which Coulter's rabble rousing fails to mention is that America was built on the principles of liberalism: "Permissible or appropriate for a person of free birth" which is the sense of the word used by our Founding Fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and George Washington. What wouild Coulter call them today? "Un-Americans?" In the final analysis, labeling someone "liberal" or "conservastive" has only one purpose; to end debate. In one important way, it makes no difference whether someone calls himself a "liberal" or "conservative" because when the labelling of an opponent begins debate and therefore democracy ends. This is something which Coulter's book doesn't touch? Why not? Because then she'd sell less books to those who proudly wear the label "conservative" as a badge of honor while undemocratically trying to suppress dissent from those who disagree with them • • • and who they therefore decide to disparage as "a liberal" or "conservative." In other words, those who hate classical American democracy and instead love their own narrow points of view. Note the day on which I decided to write this review!

Summary: This book has the depth of a playground sandbox
Review: but isn't as enjoyable. Coulter reminds me of a 6 year old I once knew who used an indelible marker to designate which children could be members of her club and which children couldn't. Since the definition of "liberal" has morphed over the years with the advent of America's most cherished, white-knuckled, media-driven myth about the "liberal" media [which, according to Coulter, laughably includes General Electric (NBC), Vivendi (CBS), AOL/Time-Warner (CNN), and Disneyland (ABC)], Ann's label of "who is and who isn't" a liberal holds little meaning or relevance, rendering the premise of her book moot. Her salvo about liberals being wrong about everything in the last half century didn't encourage me to entertain her discussion, but rather compelled me to offer up the chicken-soup addage that in order to make friends, you have to be a friend. I suppose "Slander" (and does she ever) is what Ann feels it takes to defend the conservative stance, whatever one interprets that to be these days. Just know that this book doesn't have a unifying page between its blinders, so the timing of its publication couldn't have been worse given the poor health of our national political culture.
