Summary: The American way
Review: She is laughing all the way to the bank. That's America UNFORTUNATELY. She seems very sad though.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: On par with the liberal-baiting of the Fox News Channel
Review: Ann Coulter's observations in this book are about as insightful as Bill O'Reilly's assertions that America will win the war on terrorism as soon as the government declares 24-hour armed watch along the entire lengths of both our Mexican and Canadian borders. Though the parallel between the two is a stretch, I'm sure neither of them would mind it if the government constructed an ideological Great Wall around America tomorrow. The fact is, Coulter and her ilk manage to so eloquently present the views of traditionally disenfranchised groups such as Wall Street financiers and compassionate capitalists who one could have found in abundance at such companies as Tyco, Enron, and WorldCom. The crux of Coulter's own hypocrisy is made clear by the amount of time dedicated to her own smear campaign, along with the failure to delineate a clear direction in her book. In its entirety, "Slander" is a monstrously horrible rebuttal which quickly assumes the negative characteristics of that which the book purports to criticize. If one must attempt to stomach the conservative viewpoint, William Buckley Jr. presents a passable notion of mainstream conservatism (if there is such a thing). As a student at Coulter's alma mater, Cornell University, I can indeed attest to the fact that the University System is completely run by and biased towards liberals (to be more accurate, many of them are actually conservative-liberals who assume the "liberal" title for their own political advancement, but that's another story), which is probably why most of society feels the aftereffects. At Cornell, Coulter became the first editor-in-chief of the Cornell Review, an inflammatory conservative newspaper whose entire reason for existence is liberal-baiting. Hence, with this book, Coulter continues her verbal sophistry by attempting to hawk her ideology within the publishing realm. Stay away from this book at all costs.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Split those infinitives! Mix those metaphors!
Review: Lefties being bashed, and they don't like it one bit. This book certainly isn't a political work to be read 5 years from now, but for today, how nice to see someone playing the game at which liberals are so adept : attack. This book makes evident that in modern so-called Liberal Thought are the seeds of a new fascism. A subtle fascism, to be sure, but nonetheless dangerous at that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Liberals will choke on this detailed breakdown of the media
Review: Although I prefered the last 2 books that Ann wrote, I found this read to be informative and straight to the heart. While exposing Dan Rather and Katie Couric as slanted and biased liberals is like exposing Richards Simmons as feminine, Ann took the time to clearly show the whitewashing of the Republican Party as fanatics by the mainstream press. I'm sure the folks at the soon-to-be defunct Salon.com are screaming in there sleep over this book. I think you'll find it a good read and worth the purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ann Coulter is on target!
Review: FINALLY!! Someone is willing to take on the left with courage and truth. This is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered if there was another side to the story. This book answers the questions why conservative talk radio, conservative web sites and Fox News are so popular, and why the mainstream media "stars" are fading away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For liberals and conservatives...this book is enticing!
Review: As an open-minded political observer (and college student), I decided to read this book since Ann Coulter is always an interesting and entertaining debater whenever she's on the circuit.

(Come on, how many political pundits these days can actually make you LAUGH while still communicating intelligent arguments?)

The book provides a straight-forward insight into the world of the media, which without a doubt, has an agenda.

Her writing is colorful and dramatic, which makes it all the more appealing to read. Though her arguments aren't without substance- she does source all her information and quotes. (that's more to say than even some major news outlets!)

So, if you enjoy politics or the news media- you'll definitely dig this read. I think you might even change your opinion about these so-called 'fair' journalists that Americans have come to admire.

Even if you find yourself disagreeing with her ideologies (note to you liberals): you will admire her pull-no-punches approach. She's brave, which is refreshing.

So before you believe the arguments that this is just another 'conservative' book- don't believe it, cause it's probably just more "Liberal Lies!!" :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Slander...
Review: ... Coulter is one of the most refreshing columnists whose material is freely available on the web. If you have read her columns, you know her prose drops like bricks with clear, shining, logic to construct the house of reason, each sentence building on the one before. Its a beautiful thing to behold, someone that can write so clearly over the course of a thousand or so words.

But how does that translate to a book of roughly 80,000 words? In Slander, Ann Coulter pulls it off in an incredibly well documented and footnoted tome. From her devastating proof of liberal bias in the media during the 2000 election, to her revelations of the so-called "revolving door" between Liberal administrations and the Press that reports on them, and her discussion of why Republicans are branded "dumb" and Democrats "to smart for voters to agree with," Ann Coulter continues and expounds on the thesis of Bernard Goldberg's book, Bias.

In this book, Ann Coulter points out why Gucci Democrats (ANWR should be saved from the oil companies, but keep your damn greasy, scummy feet off my Public Beach in Malibu) should rightly be ridiculed. She details the way these same Liberals, including Katie Couric, which she calls the Eva Braun of the Liberal Media Empire, fume that in a competitve marketplaces namely, radio, books and the internet, conservative viewpoints predomintate, thus depriving the Liberal media empire of its control.

She points out how the media protects politicians with favorable viewpoints and turns on them when they are no longer needed.

She decontructs the myth of the Liberal media's favorite boogieman, the religious right, detailing how its been pronounced dead repeatedly in the past 20 years, only to be resurrected to scare voters when needed.

In conclusion, she states that there have been no great Liberal acheivements over the past century and that the only thing Liberals have to cling to is the right to abortion, so its no wonder, since their viewpoints have been consistently and overwhelmingly discredited, that they resort to name calling and outright lying to push their vision, rather than rely on the marketplace of ideas and honest debate.

Point made, superbly.

Summary: How many June 25th Reviews by same person do we have?
Review: I thought this book was decent, but not great as her last book. It seems she wrote this one more in a hurry. But I certainly didn't think that she wrote lies like every one of these reviewers here. Notice all the reviewers who condemned her? They all wrote the same review on June 25th? And they all gave her one star???

If you ask me, they were all written by the same person, most likely somebody who can't stand to see more than one opinion. How sad!

As I said, Ann's book isn't as good as her last one (which I gave five stars), but it's worth reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MOST REVIEWERS HAVE BEEN LIBERAL LIES ABOUT ANN!!
Review: ....After reading this book, which is very well written and researched (not lies), I realize.... What Ann says is true! THEY RUN THE NEWSPAPERS, THEY BRAINWASH STUDENTS BY TEACHING HIGH SCHOOLS and colleges, they run Hollywood...Is that really what this country has come to? If you're one of us, we'll help you, but if you're not, you're the enemy and we will destroy you?

If your neither a liberal or conservative, do yourself a favor and buy the book. You can always return it. Don't give these activists the right to censor freedom of speech. Listen to what she says.

Ann is a fine writer. She basically backs up everything she says. She brings up important points as to what the media has been able to do, how they bias and throw elections and how they discredit Christians and the Right in general. Basically it's picked up like a battlecry.

My problem with Ann is that she sometimes lets her emotions take over her rationality and it's here that she screws up. Notice I gave her four stars, not five because of this. I am not a republican, nor a liberal, but voted independent the last three times. I also didn't vote for president last time out.

But these attacking and discrediting reviews have thoroughly convinced me that much of what Ann says about liberals discrediting conservatives is true. She is a fine writer, with a very easy-to-read style and sense of humor. She makes herself an authority on the topics at hand. I enjoyed reading her.

Summary: Finally, Liberal Lies Exposed
Review: Anne Coutler puts into perspective, a conservative one, liberal lies the American public hear everyday in our news sources, schools, and lawmakers. It's a great book and she's on the rise so liberals and Dems alike should beware.
