Summary: Unmitigated Junk
Review: Conservatives tend to ride cliches like the cowboy rides his horse. Ameica is great. Liberals are bad. Media is liberal. Reagan was great. Clinton was evil. Conservatives think like a pack and that's why liberals don't have an "Eleventh Commandment" (Never criticize another Republican). So what we have here is a book that reads like it was dictated by its author during the commercial breaks of his radio program. The all-American boy who has never seriously studied history or the social sciences ignores both history and the social sciences in proclaiming that Reagan was among our greatest presidents and liberals are working to destroy everything we have worked so hard for. Yet any honest history of the Reagan administration will tell horrible tales of his policies in Central America and around the world and his reactionary social policies at home. Hannity is a guy who claims that liberals have hijacked the media and mislead the American people. Yet, Hannity allows Oliver North, a liar and document shredder, to provide commentary on his TV program. Conservatives love authoritarian institutions, like the military, corprate america and the imperial presidency. Conservatives say nothing about the decaying environment, the widening gap between rich and poor, racism, conservative activist judges (yes, they do exist), 40 million without healthcare and the crimes of their own political heroes. Don't waste your money on this garbage. Hannity is a smooth and persuasive talker, just like his idol, Rush Limbaugh, a bloward who makes things up as he goes along. Don't be swept up in this talk radio dreck. The issues are far more complicated than a five minute sound bite that gets interrupted by more radio ads for SUV's and low-interest bank loans. For once, think outside the box and spend your money on the other side of the story. I recommend A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Yes, he's a lefty. But Zinn admits he's a lefty and that he is biased, as we all are.

Summary: Demagogues Strike Again!
Review: So, essentially, this book's argument is that 9/11 was really the fault of liberals. How convenient. :) The basic problem I have as a libertarian with conservatives like Hannity is that they are as much anti-liberty as so-called liberals are. They sponsor socialism when it comes to issues of morality and also economic exchanges they happen to disfavor. What they want isn't really liberty - they want a world where people are free to do what they want them to do. Because they've wrapped themselves in words like liberty, they've hollowed out the term to meet their ideology. Its rather sad that this has come to pass, but so be it. Anyway, Hannity isn't committed to "freedom" so much as he is committed to his rather simple answers that the world throws at him. Which of course makes hima good right-wing poster boy for the folks at Fox News, but it doesn't make him an advocate of freedom. Flame On! :)

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This is a great book for ALL Americans to read. Not just people who hold the same opinions and out looks. Sean Hannity shows the truth about what happens in politics and shows what happens when the people find out. He is about telling the American people the truth and the straight facts. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. You will only learn something that you didn't know before!!

Summary: Mean-spirited drivel
Review: Small of mind and crippled in spirit, the only war Hannity really wants to fight is against human decency. If you find yourself in agreement with him, can I have your car after the Rapture?

Summary: This guy is not as honest as he promotes.
Review: Hannity's broad political knowledge is impressive but there was one topic that I know as much as him and it was disappointing to see his doctoring of the facts to fit his agenda. My political view of the topic is neutral and my knowledge is from career and educational pursuits. 1. He bashed environmentalists on their stance of the Artic National Wildilfe Refuge. They are against oil exploration of these lands and he ridiculed them for differing from the Alaskan democratic governor's pro stance. What he doesn't tell his readers is that the Alaskan's political view point is more of an economic issue than an environmental issue. The state receives a substantial amount from the taxation of the oil flowing through Trans-Alaskan pipeline. Prudhoe Bay oilfields are tapping out and the pipeline is flowing half full.
2. He stated that the oil in ANWR may be enough to replace 30 years of Saudi oil imports. For months on his radio show he said the same, meanwhile Rush Limbaugh was playing tag team by telling his listeners that Saudi oil made up the "Lion Share" of our consumption. The conclusion of the two is that ANWR's oil is almost equal to 30 years of U.S.A. consumption. One day Limbaugh told his audience that he just found out he was wrong and that Saudi oil comprised only 8% of our oil usuage. (Yea, I believe he just found out.) The damage was done.
3. He stated that the USGS says there may be up to 16 billion barrels in ANWR. What he doesn't tell is the 16 billion is the high side of a very broad range of what the USGS believes is there. And he didn't tell that the USGS gave another range of 4.3 to 11.8 billion barrels for what's "technically recoverable".
His 30 years of Saudi oil is based on the 16 billion. It's deceitful of him to base his argument on numbers that far exceed what's "technically recoverable".
4. He made fun of Senator's Daschle's claim of only 6 months of oil in ANWR. He called him "unencumbered" with the facts. Hannity didn't revel that Daschle's prediction comes from an earlier USGS study and that it was based on the 50th precentile technically recoverable numbers. The updated USGS study, that Hannity quotes, has a 50th percentile prediction that would equal to 14 months. Daschle was wrong to use an outdated study but his 6 months prediction was closer to the updated 14 months than Hannity's spin of 30 years.
5. He says the oil would make us "far less dependent" of imported oil. He didn't tell that the pipeline at half capacity supplies about 4% of our needs and that at full capacity it would supply about 8% of our needs. ANWR would bring the pipeline's flow to full capacity and reduce our imported oil from 60% of our usuage down to 56%. This doesn't exactly make us "far less dependent". The facts destroy his exaggerations. Many politicians and critics spin but this guy never stops telling everyone how honest he is. That's my problem with him. The rest of his book may be accurate but this topic wasn't close so I accept the rest of his book with a grain of salt. I don't drink his cool-aid.

Summary: Pure right-wing paranoid drivel
Review: If you like your politics simplistic to the point of absurdity, this is the book for you.

Summary: Partisan mediocrity
Review: I didn't expect much from a [man] like Hannity, and I wasn't disappointed. There's no actual need to read this book, as I can sum it up for you in four words: Republicans good, Democrats bad. (In my view, 50% correct). Hannity simply puts forth the neoconservative party line on every issue. Everything he says is predictable. Don't waste your time on this book. If you want a real conservative viewpoint, try reading something from Pat Buchanan or Joe Sobran.

Summary: sadly close minded and a little misguided
Review: I am sorry, but we are now in the times of freedom, as you so profusely oversuse this word, and that means admitting a little more equality. Stop equating our country's problems with "those people", we are not the innocent victims you make the US out to be--just do some more research and stop writing from a state of ego and involve a little more mind and heart. The members of other countries are not our enemies, just as are not the liberals of the world. I may not be liberal either, but to slam a liberal so harshly is truly to reject some of the beautiful, strong-minded people that started this country.

Summary: too liberal
Review: I am a die-hard Conservative Republican.Sean Hannity acts just like a liberal! In fact, he resorts to liberal tactics like "fight for liberty". We all know this is a liberal game! I wish he's stick to the main points he outlines in the first chapter, instead of rambling about "attacks" on our country by liberals. Let's stop accusing fellow Americans and focus on the real enemy: Al Quaeda!!!! Dems are with us; they overwhelmingly supported our good "president". So, as a fellow-Republican I urge you to NOT read this book.

Summary: nothing but the truth, with facts to back up every point
Review: Never mind the spin doctors in the media who hit you with 20 second sound bites, this in depth commentary clearly illustrates what is wrong with this country and who got us to where we are. It highlights true heroes and also reminds us of the dark ages in morality aka The Clinton Years. Read this book and you will know who "Clinton Cool Aid drinkers" really are!
