Summary: Left-wing trash
Review: Yeah, you read it correctly. Left-wing trash. Read the book carefully. Just because he bashes democrats doesn't make him a Conservitive. What Hannity is proposing is a philosophy that is as collectivist as anything Marx could have come up with.

If you are looking for a real right wing author to learn from, start with the author Ronald Reagan most admired: Ayn Rand. This guy is a fake.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It's the TV Guy!
Review: Chalk up another 'book' by a TV pundit, this one as useless as the rest. Judging by reviews here, it's a love it or hate thing by a love him or hate him guy. It satisfies fans of Hannity's relentless Republican cheerleading on the self-proclaimed fair and balanced FOX News Channel, and infuriates those who see Hannity for what he is: a loudmouthed, dim profiteer.

It's very unsettling that hacks like Hannity and his reptilian co-host Alan Colmes have such influence over the electorate. Neither have any journalistic credentials. Hannity is not even a college grad, but every night they're both experts on a variety of topics from the constitution to military strategy.

There was something particularly smarmy about Hannity's smurk on the cover that made me thumb through this in bookstores to see what was ticking. The book (and countless like it) offers nothing new to say, just more vitriolic ways to say it. In order to define his own position as a superpatriotic, all around right guy, Hannity needs those phantom 'liberals' that seem to be ruining America and ::gasp:: even caused 9/11, which for Hannity is not an event but a literary device to spin around. In TV land, you're either right, like Hannity, or you're scum. Debate consists of, "No, you're wrong."

Sean Hannity is rich. Spend your money and send him a history book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: File under "Paid-For"
Review: Well-written but morally bankrupt blah-blah From the same sludge pile that coughed up Anne Coulter. Once again, simplification serves to demonize and lay all fault on those troublesome human bugaboos called ambiguity and compassion. The glorification of smug self-centeredness and I've-got-mine-hell-with-you disguised as patriotism is just disgusting. When will America take off their blinders and see these pillagers for who they are?

Defending freedom and championing the cause of every man being accountable for himself does not necessitate abandoning one's senses to this kind of inflammatory junk. These same people would crucify the man again if he bothered to return. In their eyes, he was weak.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another croaking frog...
Review: Yet another croaking frog trying to send you and yours off on ill-conceived wars while safely hiding behind his so-called "patriotism" back here at home... meanwhile getting richer and richer as he sits in his lazy boy writing simple-minded books like this one. Read the book and ask yourself honestly if this is the best America can do? People like this have no business leading the greatest country on the face of the planet.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sean Hannity, not a good liar
Review: if you like distorted views, misinterpreted facts spun around to defend weak arguments, and outright lies, this book is for you. this is the first book i've reviewed that i would give no stars if possible. Hannity makes absurd arguments that go like this, "i'm right!" How are you right? "Cause you're an American hating Liberal!" Even if that were true how does it prove any point whatsoever? "Cause i said so!" Good point Sean. Hannity has made a career out of such arguments, arguments that may appeal to a six year old on a playground, but to any literate person with an IQ even slightly above their shoe size can quickly see the book is the same liberal bashing junk, minus any reasonable views, that people like ann coulter continue to vomit from their very confused and warped minds. Also, when Hannity does catch his breath from name calling to try and make a point about something, he has to lie (and not very well) to back his ultra-conservative stance. i won't go into all of them (i'd have to quote the entire "book")but a real good one is on pg. 205. Sean explains "Decades of liberal no-growth policies have seriously endagered our economic and national security." HA! HA! HA! anyone remember the mid to late 90's? when clinton was the last elected president we had? economic growth during this period was the highest of any country since the beginning of the industrial revolution. not according to sean however. why? "cause i said so!" if you are a four year old child and believe everything anyone tells you(tooth fairy, santa, boogie-man, liberal media, etc.), and get your news from fox tv (definite conservative media) then little billy buy this book on tape.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The truths are there...
Review: The truths are there in plain sight; whether he talks about school vouchers while giving examples of where the work or the war on terror he is right.

Most of the negative reviews are critical of the ideas and the author because of political views. The book is well laid out, easy to read and very insightful.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Down With Conservatism!!!
Review: I truly feel sorry for Sean and all the rest of America's embarrasment who buy this book. They are all people who are desperately trying to hang on to a mindset that by all rights should be dead. Hannity and his idiotic party are nothing anymore but a bunch of lies, distortions, and factual errors that make me ashamed to call myself an American. If someone like him is going to put this much energy into a political work, it should at least be for a good purpose. And what really pisses me off is that, while he is a little Rush Limbaugh clone himself, he is going to influence a whole other generation of ignorant right-wingers to screw everything up even more. Yeah, I could go on for days......

peace, love, and understanding
always

Summary: Hannity is amazing at what he does
Review: Sean Hannity is an amazingly good pundit. He delights his conservative audience by pouring his vitriol all over liberals, moderates, Bill Clinton, and anyone else who stands anywhere BESIDES right behind himself and the likes of George W. Bush.

Sean Hannity is good at what he does.

Unfortunately, Sean is NOT very good with facts. Sean gets them wrong all the time.

For example, Sean repeats the falsehood that Bill Clinton "seemingly blamed the vicious terrorist attacks on you and me and all Americans." Kevin Cherry makes a similar mistake writing for NationalReviewOnline: "President Bill Clinton blamed, in part, the United States for the terrorist attacks of September 11. Speaking to a group of about 1,000 students, the former president said that our nation is "paying a price" for slavery and for its treatment of the "significant number of native Americans" who "were dispossessed and killed."

If you look at the context, you'll see that Clinton meant that there is a long history of noncombatants dying in conflict, even in our own nation's history. Tragically, innocent people get killed. Sometimes they number in the thousands. What happened at the WTC was terrible and ghastly, but it wasn't entirely without precedent But Hannity doesn't care. He doesn't let facts get in his way.

That's just one example, but anybody reading LET FREEDOM RING could find many many more. Hannity is shameless and careless.

Hannity's agenda seems to be: spin the truth any way it can be spun, in order to make Republicans and conservatives look good, and make liberals and Democrats look bad. Like I said, Hannity is amazing at what he does. It's tragic that he uses his considerable talent to regularly lie or distort the truth.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beware
Review: Beware the book whose author is seen grinning in front of an American flag on the cover.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: In Hannity's world...
Review: In Hannity's world, the United States would ring with no freedoms, with the exception of freedoms granted to those who would re-write our constitution to fit their conservative beliefs. Freedom, by definition, is the ability to choose...but Hannity would give you only one option to choose from - the right-wing's. Where is the freedom?
