Summary: She hit the nail on the head...liberals can't hide anymore!!
Review: Finally, someone has taken the time to meticulously document the myriad of lies and accusations that the left has been waging against the American right for decades. Slander not only debunks the many myths that the liberal media have created about conservatives (ie. how does one become a member of the non-existant religious right?) but it also delves deep into the liberal psyche to expose the true cause of their malicious ways...HATE. Liberals hate conservatives and their ideas and the only way to keep them quiet is to systematically discredit their every thought and idea by repeating mind numbing propaganda so that the average American doesn't have a choice but to eventually accept what their being told...in their predictable 3rd grade liberal mentality...Liberals are good, Conservatives are bad (and of course my daddy can beat up your daddy, too.) Coulter has exposed liberals for what they are (idealess, hate filled, quasi-communists) with air tight research and documentation that could easily rival the Starr report in its depth and accuracy. I highly recommend Slander to anyone who wants to know the truth about the American left and how it is trying to sabotage the American way via Orwellian tactics. Ann is my hero!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To Slander or Not To Slander
Review: Most of the reviews I've read, especially from the left, miss the point of Ann Coulter's new book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right. The main point is that liberals don't argue ideas anymore, they attack people. The left's reviews of her book here on Amazon.com illustrate her point!

If you disagree with liberals you are evil, agree with them and you are good. They are more self-righteous than Christian fundamentalists!

If you are able to get by the metaphors, humorous pokes and even some invective, you should read this book. Ann does not confuse invective with argument like liberals do. Her arguements are cogently presented and supported with waves of evidence that only a person in denial could reject. Her invective only drives home the point.

I think her book is important because it documents with hard evidence that the left is (as Andrew Sullivan and others have said)intellectually dead. The cure is many shots of reason and maturity, not to mention a great deal of soul searching, until the beast is in remission.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Liberal's Nightmare...
Review: Miss Coulter is one of my new favorite columnists and television personas. She is part of the new breed that will scream and yell louder than the liberal elite. As to her latest book:

The first thing I noticed is that Slander is incredibly well-documented. Almost every line is cited and she clearly states how she arrived at her information sources (i.e. LexisNexis, etc.) At times, this can be somewhat tiresome, because it seems for certain sections that we are reading just fact after fact without any opinion. However, it does solidify her opinions even more because she provides so much backup to her points.

In regard to the writing style, Miss Coulter has a sense of humor. She is sarcastic and funny. She uses real life quotes to draw out the humor as opposed to trying to make funny points in her own words. I fin dthe book an extremely entertaining read.

In terms of content, the book doesn't exactly cover any "new" ground although it does a very good job of solidifying some previously made points. She discusses media bias, the liberal methods of attack, the 2000 election, the rise of the conservative news, and liberal trends throughout history. She makes clear points that will be revered by conservatives and disparaged by liberals.

Miss Coulter does not hide her dislike of the liberal attitudes, mindsets, and agenda and she attacks. If you are looking for someone to provide both sides and present a logical, comparative argument then this book is not for you. If you want a straight opinion piece backed up with numerous examples, written in a brash and entertaining fashion, then this book will be for you. Enjoy, I did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hit pigeons flutter!
Review: Wow, first I read the book and then I read the reviews!! I can see why so many cranks are writing blistering reviews. This book has more footnotes than my Ph.D. thesis and the reaction to this author brings home her point more than anything else she could put down on paper. Suggestion for Coulter: take the one star reviews and use them to hype the next printing (and the paperback edition) of this most important tome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant.
Review: Cutting. Incisive. Witty. Charming. Well-reasoned. Concise. Arrogant - but justly so. Illuminating. Accurate. Depressing. Insert your choice of admiring adjective HERE. Coulter reminds me of the few really good college professors I had the fortune to learn from. TNSTAAFL, folks, which is why the liberals in government are eating your lunch for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: outstanding
Review: After reading Bias I thought there would not be much to add. I was wrong. Ann Coulter uses many of the themes in Bias and takes them to a completely new level. I believe this is a great book for anyone who wants to give an honest look at the media and the distortions that are given.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ironic Title, to say the least
Review: ADDENDUM 7-12-02: NOTE TO THOSE WHO ASSUME I HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK;

You are correct- I didn't spend a cent on the book; it's available at my library. You are incorrect to say that I didn't read it. You are also incorrect to say that I didn't refer to it's content in the review: I count at least three specific references to content in what is a very short review. Might I suggest that you are projecting your own behavior when you make such assumptions about others? Now, here's what I think of it:

Coulter's use of ad hominem attack and downright falsification would qualify this work as slanderous, were her subjects not public figures and hence unable to sue under New York Times v. Sullivan, one of the great liberal decisions of our time that protects her right to liken a morning talk show host with whom she disagrees to Eva Braun, and then in a calculated "backstep", to Joseph Goebbels. This book represents more of the same crying -- or howling-- wolf that the right has perfected. The former tobacco industry apologist who has made a name for herself not through accomplishment in any tangible sense, but rather through making herself into a product and then getting placed, continues the tired routine of whining about how biased "the media" is, in an age where liberal voices have been all but silenced in the torrent of right wing opinion mongering on radio, cable and network news. A movement that fancies itself intellectually viable ought to think twice before embracing a person who views Pat Robertson as insufficiently conservative, as Coulter does in this lightweight doodle.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: beating the subject to death...
Review: First, I agree with her thesis, but I don't think there is enough here to support a whole book. The first chapter is a brilliant essay on the subject, and it may be worth the price of the book to read it. Most of the rest seems redundant. She does provide a lot of footnotes and references, which indicates that she is at least trying to back up her positions with sources one can check into. I doubt that most of her opponents will bother, but at least the information is there. Now, let's review the reviewers... the most fascinating thing I find is that most of the unfriendly reviewers I have read or seen on TV do exactly what she accuses liberals of doing, e.g. call names, comment on her appearance, cite Diane Sawyer as an example of a supposed Republican who is now in the major media, etc., and they fail to see the irony of this. I think that this predictive value (if you will) of her writing supports her thesis as well or better than the references.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well researched...
Review: It seems a great deal of the negative reviews I have seen tend to miss the point of this very enlightening book - IT IS POINTING OUT THE VENOMOUS, BLATANT BIAS OF MEDIA OUTLETS THAT CLAIM TO BE OBJECTIVE SOURCES OF CURRENT EVENTS. I always felt the left's mainstream media control is propaganda drummed up by Limbaugh and his 20 million disciples. Apparently, I was very wrong. For those of you who say this book is not based in fact, go to LexisNexis and find out for yourself. I have spent a few evenings checking her sources and every single one I've looked into is verifiable and is not taken out of context. To all you Left-wingers, take it upon yourself to go there and prove me wrong (dont waste my tax dollars and lobby for a government study into non-fictional inaccuracies, take the time and do your own homework.)

And the ignorant reviews which state Ann Coulter being "the pot that called the kettle black" by slamming liberals for slamming conservatives? Did you even read the book? Ann never claimed to be objective, and frankly that is not her job. The problem is claiming to be something you're not, as the mainstream press does with great frequency. I still can't believe the amount of times they refer to conservatives as "Nazi's". What planet are these people from?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ann Coulter: Liberal Lies; Blah, Blah, Blah.....
Review: The objective reader should be able to quickly and readily discern that Ms. Coulter is to authors what Jerry Springer is to talk show hosts. But, sensationalistic books do sell (truthful or not)!Any 'ditto head" with a taste for Rush on steroids should just LOVE this book!!
