Summary: Winston Churchhill would have understood
Review: What have we come to when we can have a major city attacked and 3,000 innocent men,women and children slaughtered and a large group of our fellow Americans stick their heads in the sand?. Liberal Democrat or Conservative Republican please read this book!. No matter what you think of Mr Hannity the message of what is transpiring in this country needs to be understood, our security and the well-being of our children deserve our full attention NOW!. This constant bashing on both sides needs to be put on hold while we are at war, comments made in this election would have bought all involved a charge of treason during any other war. This is not a police action like Vietnam,we are at war for the safety of our citizens and this book explains it in no uncertain terms!. Is it going to take another large scale tragedy placed upon us to make us see what we need to do?. We can take action on our economy and jobs and immigration 4 or even 8 years from now and be just fine, but if we don't handle this terrorist problem NOW the economy won't much matter. Buy the book, read it as if your favorite author wrote it (with an open mind) and then search your conscience. If John Kerry is elected president and we have a large-scale nuclear disaster or a large biological attack who are we going to lay the blame on? kerry? you put him there!. Just look farther forward than your wallet.

Summary: Selling and buying the product.
Review: What many of the readers of this book will fail to realize is that Mr. Hannity is selling a product. In the past several years the bashing of liberalism and the flag waving of conservatism has become a multi-million dollar industry. And everyone from Hannity to Rush to Drudge have made millions. Is that wrong? No, it's commercialism. Are the basis of their ideas wrong? Not necessarily. Their is some fact in what they begin with, but it is clearly over hyped and marketed and turned into bite-sized, candy, wrapped in commercialism that offers little substance to the reality of politics and diplomacy in America and the world. The real concern is how many people take this creative work as fact or as a guide to real American politics. Hannity's work may be as entertaining to you as watching professional wrestling. It's a fantastic stage show but reality greets you at the door.

Summary: Please stop throwing bombs and be specific!
Review: After reading the many negative reviews of this book, I wonder: Why did these people read this book? Most of them obviously don't like Sean and fully expected to hate this book. Now, assuming they actually read it, I further wonder: Who has time to read a book you know you're going to hate? I didn't read Living History, Lies and The Lying Liars, Bushwhacked, Dude, Where's my Country, etc. Why would I? They would only make me mad (and likely nauseous). Opposition Research is hardly a reason unless you're a professional of some kind. I get enough "know thy enemy" by watching CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC. I have great doubts about many of these reviews. So many "ITS ALL LIES" comments. The first 3 review up at the moment all gave one star and had the words "lies", "non factual" and "sad and pathetic", respectively. First off, I'd appreciate a bit more than drive-by bomb throwing. Its easy to say: Prove it. Bring up an obvious example since all the one star reviewers seem to think the entire book is filled with "lies". Are you sure you're not confusing "lies" with "difference of opinion"? Anyway, I just finished the book, came here to review it and have found the vitriol level amazingly high. Again, I don't understand why anyone would drop $25 and however long it takes to read on a book they know they're going to hate. I frankly don't believe most of the one star readers actually read it. I'd like some hardback First Edition page and paragraph references pointing out all the "lies". Otherwise, just go pump up Franken's or Moore's fine pieces of "literature".On a positive note, I found Sean's book to be an easy read with some stimulating perspectives. If you like Sean, you'll love this book. If you hate Sean, you'll hate this book. If you're undecided, maybe its time to read the book and make up your own mind. Don't let the "left" scare you off. Fear of the "right" is about all they've got left. Do you own research into his assertions. Make up your own mind. We are in the middle of a cultural war and we will either remain the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" or become "France"... The choice is yours.

Summary: Face Value: politics as Usual
Review: To take this book as a serious analysis of historical events would be a mistake by all. This Book, written by one of the nations leading right-wing Pundits is a political attack piece. The intentions of this book are to secure the voting base of the author's political party. The Author uses the overwhelming theme of Fear and Terrorism to paint his political adversaries as "detrimental to US national Security". Sean Hannity is a self-admitted compassionate conservative. His Radio and TV Show speak to the political right. He uses His show to keep peoples political views Swayed towards the right. This book is no different. The Purpose of this book is pure and simply, Political. There is basis for truth and many arguments that are presented within, yet a lot of information supporting opposing arguments, no matter the strength, is left out. Political Half-truths fill the pages. The reader is left with either two feeling after reading this Book. Democrats are evil or Sean Hannity is a master propagator. I choose the Second. To argue that those that disagree with your opinions are wrong is one thing; to paint those who disagree with your opinions and beliefs as treasonous is dangerous. Opposing political beliefs are good for a democracy. If Sean hannity chooses to goebelesque tactics as painting your political enemy as enemies of the state, It goes to show the weakness of their political arguments as a whole. Stick to the issues rather than persuading your readers to follow you blindly. I also find it interesting that a Christian man such as Sean would generalize and judge and entire class of people solely because of their political belief. It isn't Sean's job to judge. Remember that it's his job to convince you to vote republican. Take this Book at face Value. Its nothing more that a 30 second political ad. Republicans Good, Democrats Bad. Rince and repeat.

Summary: Stop Whining
Review: If you didn't read the book, don't just log on and give it one star just because you are a liberal college proffesor with a plaid sport coat, tennis shoes, a beard and round-rimmed glasses ... instead, get a life. You knew what the book was going to be about when you "read" it, so why act appalled and surprised that it contained conservative views? The point is, no matter what Sean Hannity were to write, no matter how accurate and logical, liberals such as yourselves would always give him one star. You should grow up.

Summary: All the one star ratings won't change the truth!
Review: Hannity hits another grand slam with this great book. He is doing a great job for America. Sean, if you read this, thank you and keep fighting the good fight.

Summary: This book sealed it....
Review: Honestly, after reading this book (which was the mental equivalent of wrestling a little old lady - easy, yet very disturbing) I decided that if Sean Hannity's viewpoints have ANYTHING to do with President Bush's viewpoints, well I'm just going to have to make sure that ALL of my friends VOTE for KERRY in 2004. Afterall, this is a matter of National Security. Here's a little sample of Sean's little book: Blah blah Liberal Evil Doers blah blah blah Compassionate Conservatism yakety yakety Democrats Don't Care About National Security yadda yadda yadda These Are Facts, Liberals Are Liars (that's original) yippity yappity You've Been Hannitized..... If you'd like to read 352 pages of this repetitive drivel, be Sean's guest.

Summary: A True Reader!
Review: Some of the definitions for "Review" that Webster has listed are the following: "To look over, study, or examine again. To consider retrospectively; look back on. To go over or restudy material." I do not understand how people can write a review for a book they have not even thought of reading. It is amazing how people can say these hurtful things about this book, or the man who wrote it. It is certainly clear to me and all other readers of this book that these people have had their minds made up about Mr. Hannity a long time ago, and would have trashed this book no matter what the title was. It is clear that the trash talkers have not read this book. How can you examine again something you never examined in the first place? I guess by writing reviews for a book they have not read is their way if redefining the word, "Review" just like they are trying to redefine the word, "Marriage" Webster defines a marriage as: "The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife." Thank you Sean! Your new book is right on.

Summary: The Dumbing Down of America
Review: This book was a joke that must be taken seriously. I would never tell anyone to not read this book, so I won't. But I would encourage people who do decide to read this book to take caution: You better use your brain, that's why God gave you one. You might be tempted to believe what Sean says in this lump of pulp because you like Sean, you think he is 'funny'. That my friend, is the process of "dumbing you down". You begin to believe the rhetoric as fact. You must liberate your mental state and CHECK the FACTS. Otherwise you are just another sheep in the herd that is enthusiastically dumb.

Review: After reading many of the negative reviews for this book, it is obvious that you liberals haven't bothered to actually read the book. So much for intellectual honesty.
