Summary: Poorly researched and very unbalanced
Review: I am both a Republican and conservative, but I have no use for this woman's rantings. I may disagree with liberals, but Coulter goes too far when she accuses liberals of being anti-American, unpatriotic, and supporters of Islam (the only religion liberals like, according to Coulter). Are you going to tell me George McGovern, who risked his life as a fighter pilot in WWII, is not patriotic? And are you going to tell me all the Republican war-wimps like Newt Gingrich are? There is hypocrisy on both sides, but Coulter can't see the conservative phonies. We have our share, too, and having a thoughtless spokeswoman does not do credit to the cause.

Summary: Many people are angered by this book, mission accomplished
Review: I have noticed that there are a lot of negative reviews about this book, and nearly all of them are from liberals. I am not liberal or conservative (libertarian), but I enjoyed this book and am not surprised one bit by the liberal response. The fact is that liberals do control the media, or liberal thinkers voice their opinions as a priority in the media...a recent poll suggested that well over a majority of Americans believe a bias exists...so her reports on this are nothing to condemn her on. There are no books that are in the same light that attack Conservatives in the same way, and the reason is that they have no facts. This book is facts, and she backs up every point. Say what you will about her writing, but the content cannot be refuted.

Summary: "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus": Political Version
Review: Great Book and Fast Read.If the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" taught us that men and women communicate differently, then Ann Coulter's Slander does the same for liberals and conservatives. Ann explains how liberals handle conservative arguments and describes how the two camps approach public policy debate with quite different styles. Ann's on-the-mark analysis is supported by countless facts and sound arguments. The extensive footnotes in the back of the book provide a treasure trove of primary source materials that alone make the book worth the money. Ann's style and wit left me laughing throughout the read (though many of her conclusions of America's left are disheartening though not entirely surprising). Great book and a fast, fun read.

Summary: Berkeley Liberal Highly Impressed
Review: I am an incredibly liberal student at the University of California, Berkeley. I really thought that this book would be full of incredulous statements without any backing at all. After reading it, I find myself questioning my liberal ideologies. Ms. Coulter's wit and trite statements has made me question liberalism in a way I never thought I would. As much as I hate to say it, I think I may no longer be able to identify with the left; they really have messed up our country in ways that I never realized. Thanks,Ms. Coulter, for helping me.

Summary: Compelling, well done; Guaranteed to provoke strong reaction
Review: This well written essay on American political culture is guaranteed to provoke a strong reaction from everyone who reads it, no matter which side of the aisle you come from. A blend of logically based political argument, mildly sardonic witicism and social commentary, Ann Coulter does some things few other authors do nearly as well. She clearly states her premise, documents and references the factual basis she used for her conclusions, uses nearly empiracal logic, and comes to final conclusions which are justified by the facts. She does not make argument for it's own sake, but rather, has a point to those issues she addresses.
I absolutely loved this book. At the same time, I know that anyone who doesn't share her conservative ideology will hate it as much as I loved it. Because she presents facts to back up her positions, and does so in a common-sense manner, it will undoubtedly infuriate those who take a different point of view, since it leaves little room to make an intelligent counterpoint. Slander is a powerful statement and an opportunity to provoke discussion on important issues. Ann Coulter is right up there with Rush Limbaugh, David Horowitz and other conservative commentators, but with a distinct difference: her strong use of logic in making argument, and her "cut to the chase" clarity of expression without the hyperbole. This book gets my highest recommendation. Even if you disagree with the authors point of view, this book is thought provoking and insightful.

Summary: Documentation Lost in the Pandering
Review: I still wonder what was Ann Coulter's point in writing this book. The material here isn't new or insightful. After reading this book, I came away from it wondering what kind of America she wants. Well, it is an America where her view of morality, ethics, and public policy reigns supreme, with little regard to what the people want. To be fair, the documentation in the book is pretty good. However, it is lost in the shuffel of her pandering to the right-wing of the country. Her complaints about the liberal media are right out of the 1980s. While she talks a good line about the media being shills for the Democratic party (a questionable claim at best), she glosses over the fact that talk radio is almost completely dominated by conservatives. As I finished the book, I thought about what her goal was. The book reads as a position paper that she hopes will forever catapult her into history as one of the prime lieutenants of the conservative movement, if not one of the prime movers and shakers. What she failed to understand is that books like this, with its pandering and take-no-prisoners tone, will pass into oblivion or become the source for humor on late-night television.

Summary: Truth in print
Review: How refreshing! It's so encouraging to read someone who's not afraid to tell the truth. Her statement that Liberals and media (possibly redundant) start with a pile of lies and it becomes impossible to debate them because one has to start from SOME truth. We end up having to "assume" some lie as fact in order to have a starting place. This is a must read.

Summary: #1 on Amazon's list and for good reason
Review: The book's popularity and the Amazon's reviews (6 so far)seem to be at polar opposites. Could it be that Ms. Coulter's reports have struck a nerve and folks want to read about it? I think so! Ms. Coulter's commentary is quite partisan but most readers know this already. I suspect that many conservatives will purchase this to have more examples of the ever apparent liberal bias that exists in the media today, Fox News notwithstanding. The reader will have many examples of liberal lies of the American Right. I look forward to the second edition!

Summary: Fantastic book
Review: Ann sums up all the left-wing lies, slander, and class bigotry that permeates politics and media today. Ever wonder why a liberal can't debate politics without calling you "Hitler" or a "Dittohead"? Read the book. Ever wonder why liberals constantly denounce "hate-speech" but seem to spew some of the most vile, hateful rhetoric? Read the book. Not since Robert Borks "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" have I found political commentary so compelling.
