Rating:  Summary: Snobbery Exposed Review: Ann's book is an excellent expose' of the liberal thought police. Her well documented exposure of the media and other facets of the liberal elite lends ample ammunition for those fighting the war for free speech... One of her characterizations of the liberals really stood out, they are truly snobs who believe they are better than the majority of Americans and therefore, are not required to follow common rules of decency and civility. Thanks Ann for the doing the needed dirty work of exposing these elites!
Rating:  Summary: Negative comments about this book proves its point ... Review: ...The facts and quotes of this book are verifiable... If you are honestly looking for facts, the book is worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: Articulate interpretation with supporting facts Review: The author provides her unabashed view of modern liberal tactics. Her clear objective is to expose how liberals successfully mislead the public with misinformation, redefinition of English words, unsupportable lies and a 'hegemonic' control of the media.Although this book is a stream of articulate opinion, the author has diligently noted the source of each claim (780 notes covering 9 chapters). If you question Ms. Coulter's interpretation, you can review her source material.
Rating:  Summary: A therapeutic read! Review: This book is such a relief for all of us who have suffered through years of liberal-dominated media. It has always amused me that the media continues to deny the liberal slant. Don't they understand that we can recognize when someone is not representing our point of view? Ms. Coulter does an excellent job of laying it all out and does it with wit and the concise language for which she has a rare gift! A fun read. If you enjoy this book, you might also want to check out [the web site] which gives us a day-to-day alert on incidents of media bias.
Rating:  Summary: NBC, CBS & ABC's worst nightmare..... Review: Not surprisingly, many of the negative reviews of this book do not even address Coulter's main points. Readers will either delight or recoil as Coulter systematically and effectively demonstrates how liberal ideology controls major network media and news dissemination. The chapter over the post-election furor regarding Fox News calling the state of Florida for Bush at 2:45am (long after voting had stopped) is simply astounding. I was stunned to discover that 18 times during the final hour of Florida voting, CBS announced that the FL polls were actually closed and that the state had gone to Gore. (The other major networks had also called the state for Gore.) Yet it was the Fox News channel's 2:45am correct Bush projection that received all of the negative media attention, (and was illogically accused of swaying the election.) It is hard to argue against Coulter's copious examples of media bias. This obviously polarizing book will not change anyone's political disposition. Liberals will fume; everyone else will delight (and then fume over the liberal agenda being forced upon the nation under the guise of impartial journalism.) Simply a great book.
Rating:  Summary: Encouraging and disturbing Review: This book is encouraging and disturbing at the same time. Encouraging because it shows that we God-fearing, law-abiding, patriotic conservatives are actually the majority in America (a quiet majority, but a majority nonetheless); disturbing because it shows just how hateful and vicious liberals can be. Read it!
Rating:  Summary: Nail on the head Review: Ann, tells it like it is and back it up with facts, the liberals can't argue. She takes their words and uses it against them.
Rating:  Summary: Wow Let the Truth be Told Review: To keep it short and sweet, Ann Coulter hits the mark with a humour and direct style. It does not matter where you are politically, Ann makes you laugh and think.
Rating:  Summary: Will liberals never learn? Review: I can't believe that even on the reviews here at Amazon, anyone writing negatively about this book has no substantive argument. The best they can do is one or two sentences of name-calling? As Ann spells out, in the simplest and best-documented terms possible, the Left has no logic--its best described as a mental disorder. Come on Liberals! Wow us with your Ivy League educations and refute EVEN ONE OF ANN's ARGUMENTS!! Ann covers it all--the Left biased media, the 2000 election fiasco where the Left would do anything to win (how many times do the votes need to be recounted with Bush winning EVERY TIME!) The mythical Christian Right with 1/10 of the political dollar contribution of TRIAL ATTORNEYS. Ann is brilliant on that one--just who exactly are these Christian Right, old ladies playing bingo named Maude? (These old ladies seem to scare the left quite a bit!) This is a serious book and Ann has been meticulous at footnoting and referencing all the research. Of course, Ann had to document every last detail to mitigate what will sure be an avalanche of fatuous liberal reaction. Run (don't walk) to buy this amazing book.
Rating:  Summary: A Moment of Clarity Review: This book is excellent. Although I don't share all of Ann Coulter's positions on the issues, the well-documented facts that she presents in the book lend full credence to her arguments. The book is both a source of fascinating information and of high entertainment. It frequently caused me to spontaneously erupt into fits of laughter (which my wife found somewhat troubling). It so interesting because it brings a long-overdue perspective into the public forum. This perspective that Ann brings to the public forum is that of cold, hard, objectivity, and it is supported with a vast arsenal of factual material. I apologize for using cliche but here goes anyway: while reading the book, I often thought to myself "that is so true," and "I never thought of it that way." I love the rare book that makes me think such thoughts.
