Summary: A Primer in Constitutional Law and Common Sense
Review: I'm familiar with Ms. Coulter's columns, and expected more of the same from this book. I bought this on a whim in the airport and read it on a long flight. Surprise: this book is superb. Ms. Coulter is one of the few columnists in America who cuts deftly through the paralyzing political correctness afflicting the U.S. She says what few will say, and it doesn't always work. This book works brilliantly.Her trademark wit remains razor-sharp, but this book adds several dimensions to her voice as a columnist. Given room to breathe, Ms. Coulter amazes with the sheer depth and breadth of her knowledge. Proof of her thesis comes fast with meticulous research and plentiful footnotes. She reveals herself to be an academic, a constitutional lawyer, and a patriot. This book will drive "liberals" (leftists, neo-socialists) mad -- because Ms. Coulter so clearly exposes them. Case in point: the single-star reviews that are more personal attacks on the author than "reviews" of her book. I visited Amazon.com the day this book was released, and was amused by the obvious liberals who had already "reviewed" this book before it was released. They must be clairvoyant - because they clearly haven't read this book. Invest in "Slander" -- it's a bracing slap in the face from reality that'll leave you wanting more.

Summary: It's about time!
Review: This book should have been written a long time ago. Coulter hits the target right in the bulls eye. She has the guts to tell it the way it is. GOOD JOB ANN!!

Summary: Great typical Ann

Summary: Doubting Katie
Review: I have no doubt that Ann Coulter hates the left. This isn't much a of a substantial argument against it. She makes some of the strangest claims; comparing, for example, Katie Couric with Eva Braun....

Summary: "On the fence!"
Review: Coultier's book portrays conservatives as, no-nonsense types of politicians, while they too abuse power, as well as add considerable "pork" to the country. I see them as complete Nazis! They want nobody to question their authority! Meanwhile, liberals throw words at conservatives, such as, "Homophobia/homophobic" to put them immediately on the defensive. Such a word is very powerful and persuasive, but to nip that type of slander in the bud, I would respond with an analysis of the word "homophobia". It is the fear of gays/gay lifestyle, labeling conservative types with a phobia (or fear) and a pseudo-mental illness! In the meantime, gay pride parades show the freaks and geeks wearing their fruitcake clothes, leading each other around by dog leashes!!! Hmmm! I tend to be on the conservative side, yet be quite radical. This is a good book to check out, but please be objective and try to view politics from the author's point of view!

Summary: RABBLE ROUSING
Review: Anne H. Coulter wrote her tract SLANDER to cash in on the crowd which hates "Liberals" like bigots hate ethnic groups, or African-Americans, or .... well you get the picture. Of course, she says much that is truithful. But half a truth is often a lie in disguise. It would have been useful for Coutler to begin by defining the classical meaning of the word liberal. Let's do it now from the very American Heritage Dictionary: "LIBERAL": 1.a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. c. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism" Is that bad? The other thing which Coulter's rabble rousing fails to mention is that America was built on the principles of liberalism: "Permissible or appropriate for a person of free birth" which is the sense of the word used by our Founding Fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and George Washington. What wouild Coulter call them today? "Un-Americans?" In the final analysis, labeling someone "liberal" or "conservastive" has only one purpose; to end debate. In one important way, it makes no difference whether someone calls himself a "liberal" or "conservative" because when the labelling of an opponent begins debate and therefore democracy ends. This is something which Coulter's book doesn't touch? Why not? Because then she'd sell less books to those who proudly wear the label "conservative" as a badge of honor while undemocratically trying to suppress dissent from those who disagree with them • • • and who they therefore decide to disparage as "a liberal" or "conservative." In other words, those who hate classical American democracy and instead love their own narrow points of view. Note the day on which I decided to write this review!

Summary: This book has the depth of a playground sandbox
Review: but isn't as enjoyable. Coulter reminds me of a 6 year old I once knew who used an indelible marker to designate which children could be members of her club and which children couldn't. Since the definition of "liberal" has morphed over the years with the advent of America's most cherished, white-knuckled, media-driven myth about the "liberal" media [which, according to Coulter, laughably includes General Electric (NBC), Vivendi (CBS), AOL/Time-Warner (CNN), and Disneyland (ABC)], Ann's label of "who is and who isn't" a liberal holds little meaning or relevance, rendering the premise of her book moot. Her salvo about liberals being wrong about everything in the last half century didn't encourage me to entertain her discussion, but rather compelled me to offer up the chicken-soup addage that in order to make friends, you have to be a friend. I suppose "Slander" (and does she ever) is what Ann feels it takes to defend the conservative stance, whatever one interprets that to be these days. Just know that this book doesn't have a unifying page between its blinders, so the timing of its publication couldn't have been worse given the poor health of our national political culture.

Summary: A Great book
Review: ...This book is well researched and well documented. The facts cannot be denied. The truth about Coulters claims cannot be seriously challenged. All of the bad reviews on this board are a testament to that. In keeping with the Clinton legacy, "Attack, attack, smear, attack."

Summary: The character assassination reviews says it all
Review: I just find it ironic that the Domestic Enemies of the Constitution (Welfare Statists, Tribal Egalitarians and assorted defectives and deviants) can't handle the same tactics that they have used against everyone else... Can't handle an opposing, viewpoint?/... Show us what leftists are really about! Frankly, I find politics boring. We need another SDS to make things interesting. Something really sufficently heinous to justify ---- well, you get the idea. What goes around, comes around...

Summary: Simply Fantastic!
Review: Ann Coulter is astonishing! Well-researched and well-supported Slander exposes the thuggish Liberal tactics and the ugly blatant lies they spew. You'll never trust a Liberal again!
