Rating:  Summary: Awesome & honest Review: Ann is so honest and straight forward. It's so refreshing. You can tell she's right about the logic deficiency when you read the name calling and trashing by the other two reviews before mine. I'm willing to bet they're neo-libs. God Bless!
Rating:  Summary: Ann Coulter peels the cover off the left Review: Ann Coulters book, "Slander" is an excellent vivisection of the left. It cronicles the people and techniques of the major media, and how their biases and snobbery affect the news. Bernard Shultz's recent book "Bias" was only the prelude to Coulter's "Slander" which has far more substance. Coulter's analysis of the left's motivations was particularly interesting.
Rating:  Summary: I actually read it! Review: I enjoyed it very much. I think she could make another book from the rabid negative reviews from leftist that won't or can't read the book. I also love the " so-called" conservatives that are also trying to savage the book. Remember the left tries to destroy by "any means necessary" including lying by pretending to be someone they are not. Two best sellers now! Great job Ann!
Rating:  Summary: liberal lies( right on ann) Review: I found Ann Coulters book Liberal Lies about the American Right to be both insightful and interesting. It is nice to see a well written book that provides documentation on the liberal bias of the main stream news media. Would highly recommend this to anyone seeking facts on news medai in the USA.
Rating:  Summary: Takes one to know one. Review: Is this the pot calling the kettle black, or what?
Rating:  Summary: It's about time!! Review: What a wonderful, insightful, and long overdue read! Ann Coulter is not only brilliant, but incredibly humorous. She makes a legitimate case against the childish behavior and name calling by liberals and the liberal media overall. Two reviews (A reader from Mountain View, CA and Mare from Allentown, PA) certainly make the point for Ms Coulter. Their vindictiveness is pitiful. Rational argument is apparently an unacceptable form of debate for many liberals. I'm buying a couple more copies to send to friends who need to be enlightened. Bravo Ann!
Rating:  Summary: Obvious, but entertaining Review: The left-leaning bias of the mainstream press needs no further documentation ("far-right Republican" is a common-place term, ever hear the term "far-left democrat" from the mainstream press?). But if one needs to make the case again, this book does so with the kind of clear and biting use of language that anyone who enjoys the english language will delight in.
Rating:  Summary: Most anyone who gives this less than four stars is a liberal Review: It's rather simple really. Ann Coulter bashes and beats and bruises anyone who is on the left wing and uses it for their own selfish agenda. Anyone who is truly believes in what their political alignment stands for should read this--it opens ones eyes further than you though possible.And the ready stock of one-liners will provide much cannon-fodder for use in political discussions.
Rating:  Summary: The predictable rants of a passionate conservative... Review: First, I am a liberal. I agree with little, if anything, Coulter believes or writes in this book. That said, I did read this book (I had to know what the big deal was, after all) and can say that while it will rile the ideological opposites of Coulter, it will no doubt please all who inhabit the right side of the aisle. The most noticeable trait of Coulter's writings is that while well-reasoned in their own way, they can only make sense if one forgets that there is another side to each and every issue she discusses. If one were to ignore all of the details from other sources, her ideas might make sense. She is the master of "selective evidence," and does not even attempt to provide that which might contradict her beliefs. Still, as a pundit and/or social critic, she is not obligated to do so. She is not a journalist feigning objectivity; she is a self-described conservative cheerleader and would not pretend that she is arguing social science here. She has a worldview, nothing can shake her from it, and this is her 200 page testimonial to her conservative philosophy As a result, in her world all conservatives are perfect, well-intentioned, patriotic, moral, and just. All liberals are immoral, liars, traitors, and opportunistic. Again, she does not ask that her book be analyzed for its journalistic integrity; this is propaganda -- biased, one-sided, and intended to provoke. Coulter is not subtle throughout, and any non-conservative will be uttering "but what about..." or "Yes, but you forgot..." with every page that is turned. She seems to disregard the idea that while certain liberals she mentions are cads and/or dangerous to our moral fabric, conservatives in the political arena are just as guilty, if not more so. She does not hold her idols to the same standards as liberals, and as a result her arguments, while persuasive if read in isolation, simply do not hold up to scrutiny. Coulter also has a "gift" for hyperbole, which is part of her goal -- to rile up the public so that liberals are even further demonized and isolated. She has no sense of perspective, no vision of accuracy, and practices the same tactics (ad hominem attacks and bitter denunciations substituting for debate) she decries in others. As a final thought on this book, it is quite sloppy and could have used some organization and editing. She rambles from one attack to the next, concerned only with "proof" that liberals have destroyed all that is right and good in America. Still, she says what she believes, does not couch anything in polite P.C. discourse, and is unafraid of sacred cows (although her targets are often obvious and too easy), but she is not adding to the political sanity of our culture. Her book has the flavor of old fashioned "criticism" (angry, holier-than-thou, unfair, yet often biting and witty), yet none of the broadmindedness that defined so many of the past. For example, H.L. Mencken was an angry, vicious character, but he attacked the culture as a whole rather than following predictable party lines. She believes there are saints among us; Mencken thought the whole deal was rotten. There is a difference.
Rating:  Summary: Well Done! The truth and nothing but the truth! Go Annie! Review: This is a must read for all educated people. I'm glad Ann is on the side of truth, justice, and the American Way. Today's Supergirl.
