Rating:  Summary: History revisited! Review: A powerful look at the history of past political stances on terrorism and pacifism but more importantly, a powerful look inside the minds of the political left. A MUST read for all eligible to vote this November!
Rating:  Summary: Brilliant, Factual and Truthful! Review: This book is a breath of fresh air in a very pungent time in America. Sean goes at the Liberals in America with the facts he's taken the time to dig up and find, the truth that liberals don't want the average American to know about. If you are considering this book, don't listen to what these liberals are saying about it (heck, most of them haven't even read the book... only replying to the subtitle.), pick it up and read for yourself. Sean Hannity is a man of morals, values and convictions. He has a back bone and isn't afraid to reveal his "agenda" to the world, unlike most liberals. Sean... I give you a big pat on the back for the good work you've done on this book. It is one of the best I've read in a long time. Yada Boy Sean!!!
Rating:  Summary: Bush's Disposable Soldiers... Review: The Forgotten Soldiers of Operation "Iraqi Freedom"His name's Maurice. He's 26 years old with a face like an angel and a computerized prosthesis where his left leg used to be. His name's Victor and he still seems like a boy. His cherubic face, set against blond hair, is plagued by an unanswerable question every time his restless eyes inadvertently fall on the stump: "Why?" His name's Steve and you couldn't imagine a more All-American soldier -- that is to say if he hadn't lost his right arm. A real good patriot, he's always in control of himself and he has the air of an American hero. His name's Rob. Bound to a wheelchair, he's mad at the whole world and explodes in a barrage of insults at everyone and everything for the loss of his right leg and the uselessness of his left. Maurice, Victor, Steve, and Rob are just a few of the thousands of GI's returning from Iraq -- often with one or more limbs amputated, flown in with little notice under the cover of night and brought to Walter Reed military Hospital in Washington, D.C. Here, they're operated on, treated, fitted with prosthetics when possible, generally medicated, and given psychological and physical therapy. For the record, Walter Reed is the hospital where wounded soldiers returning from Vietnam went. No fanfare for these heroes. On top of the injuries they've had to endure to their bodies and hearts, they come home to be ignored by mainstream American media. Only an English TV station, Channel 4, considered it newsworthy to go to the hospital to interview the injured soldiers. Of course, all interviewees must be selected and briefed by army leadership in advance of any conversations with journalists. Curiously, the casualty statistics released by the Pentagon contradict those of the U.S Army. While the Pentagon contends that 2722 soldiers have been wounded in action and 417 in non hostile fire as of March 1, the U.S. Air Force confides that it has flown approximately 12,000 wounded soldiers into Andrews Air Force Base over the past 9 months. With the severity of injuries sustained, it seems like the Pentagon's reduced estimates are meant to camouflage a scandal that could cost George Bush his re-election. "They come here [to Walter Reed Hospital]19 or 20 old and when I see them leaving with missing limbs - I've seen up to 3 limbs gone off people and I don't think in our generation, we've seen this amount of harm done to young people", explained Major General Delaune on public radio in Minnesota. "During the Gulf War, there were about 3 soldiers wounded for every death. In the current Iraq war, there are 7 wounded for every death", says an article titled "New Technologies and Medical Practices Save Lives in Iraq" in a Knight-Ridder newsaper. The facts support this statement: the Kevlar vests the soldiers now wear save lives, not limbs. England's newspaper The Guardian reports that the medical personnel, overwhelmed, work 70-80 hours a week, and according to CBS, Washington's largest military hospital has had to borrow beds from its cancer ward to meet the swollen needs of its prosthetics ward. Still the hospital can't handle the load, and several wounded soldiers are being put up in a nearby hotel. Of course you won't be seeing any of this in a Bush campaign ad or read about it in a Hannity book...
Rating:  Summary: Bush Turns White House into Fundraiser Brothel Review: President Bush opened the White House and Camp David to dozens of overnight guests last year, including foreign dignitaries, family friends and at least nine of his biggest campaign fund-raisers, documents show. In all, Bush and first lady Laura Bush have invited at least 270 people to stay at the White House and at least the same number to overnight at the Camp David retreat since moving to Washington in January 2001, according to lists the White House provided The Associated Press. The Crooked Lying Bush White House becomes the Bush Fundraiser Motel..
Rating:  Summary: Deliver Us from Evil Review: He tells us what to fear, who to blame but no real solutions. Mr. Hannity, do you really think we are incapable of realizing that all you really care about is MONEY, if we gave you a million dollars I am sure you will change your tune.
Rating:  Summary: Another Heaping Pile of Dung... Review: ...from Fox News' leading neocon hack. Hannity's brand of (il)logic is so convoluted I expected to find a minotaur waiting for me at the end of this book. For Hannity & his ilk everything is black or white. Let me save you, dear reader, some valuable time & hard earned $$. Hanniy's basic point is - Republicans = "Good", Democrats = "EVIL". That's it. Surprise, surprise, you really bowled me over with that revelation, Sean. I hope I didn't spoil the ending for any avid (rabid) readers out there. Here's a revelation you should consider, Sean; there are a million shades of grey between black & white. Get your head out of the presidential rear, open your eyes & take a look.
Rating:  Summary: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism Review: . . The subtitle should really read "...Despotism, and DEMOCRATS" That's what Hannity REALLY means. He'll do or say anything to defeat democrats. I couldn't really get past the subtitle to read the book. Hannity has too many (un)hidden agendas to write a thoughtful book. He's like a broken record. Let's hear something new. And I believe Publisher's Weekly when they say the book is full of circular reasoning. I hear it every day on the radio, as I give Hannity my twenty minutes a day. Hannity is an intelligent, quick minded individual. I just wish he would be an individual thinker as well, instead of just jumping on the conservative, anti-democrat bandwagon. But if I could make his kind of money, I'd jump on that wagon too. Hannity, more power to 'ya. I dislike the silly, repetitive, close minded, circular things you say so much that I have to tune in every day to hear the latest ridiculousness. But listening to the radio is easy. Not gonna buy the book. Not gonna do it.
Rating:  Summary: THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE LIBERAL MIND Review: Look at the recent one star reviews. Are you feeling what I am feeling? Its undeniable! They are GLOATING, thats right, GLOATING- over NEGATIVE economic news! How sick is that!!! They are GLOATING over job losses and outsourcing(which of course have NOTHING to do with Bush economic policy- and will get much worse if Kerry is elected and raises taxes and institutes protectionist trade policy) and GLOATING over losses in the stock market. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? Dont you know that the trust fund that daddy set up for you will be effected by all of this? Reading these reviews, I can only conclude one thing- liberals are the most bitter, cynical, small minded fools in existence who will do anything to get rid of Bush. Ask them what John F'in Kerry will do to stop outsourcing. Bet they dont have an answer! Know why? Because Kerry doesn't either! He has no ideas!!! He has no policies- economic or foreign! He's just a spewer of anti-Bush rhetoric with no basis in actual thinking or policy alternatives. A vote for Kerry is a VOTE FOR NOTHING. Shame upon you.
Rating:  Summary: Fallacious Politics Review: Either/or reasoning, a logical fallacy (for those of you interested in logic and rhetoric), has shaped American foreign and domestic policy for decades, especially during Republican administrations. President Dubya, like Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan before him, has used this fallacious rhetorical strategy to his advantage. Patriotic Americans support their president, for good or ill. You're either for us or against us; you're either a terrorist or a freedom fighter. You're either a commie or a patriot: sound familiar? Our democracy (any democracy, for that matter) is founded upon informed public debate, which requires that people occasionally criticize the leadership. We are, after all, President Bush's bosses, aren't we? We elected him, and we get to determine if we'd like to rehire him in November. More and more, "liberals" have become a cog in the machinery of evil, and Hannity's short-sighted, narrow-minded babbling has furthered this idiotic perception. With the fall of the Soviet Union and the general demise of communism as a stable form of government, terrorists have replaced communists as the dreaded Phantom (see Robert Coover's The Public Burning). Apparently terrorists, despots, and liberals are synonymous. A despotic rule, correct me if I'm wrong, is characterized by the imprisonment, murder, or banishment of anyone with a dissenting opinion. You're either for us, or against us; and if you're against us you're a commie (1950's) or a terrorist (2000's). Thanks, Sean, for tightening Dubya's despotic grip. Unlike John Kerry, I won't run away from my liberal leanings. Food for thought: according to the Oxford English Dictionary, a liberal is one who is "free in bestowing; bountiful, generous, open-hearted." Dubya and Hannity, you'll be proud to know you're not liberals. Congratulations.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book a must read... Review: This filthy animal is the newest incarnation of a right wing attack dog without the genitals he was born with or the brains one would expect from a normal adult. This book is perfect if you drink the cool aid the right wing is spoon feeding the American public. If you believe there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, this book is for you. If you believe the coward draft dodger bush won the election, this book is for you. If you think the wealthiest American should pay no taxes and the middle class should pay 50% of their earnings this book is for you. How long will it be before you dumb ass Jesus freaks wake up and realize your being butt raped by the right wing for both your money and your personal freedoms. I once thought Republicans stood for getting government off our backs, not into our bedrooms, radios, televisions, and wallets. If you buy this book you will have a 2 month supply of toilet paper.
