Summary: Ann Coulter Fearlessly Tells It Like It Is
Review: I can't help but wonder that if this book is the product of Ann's imagination working overtime, why more liberals aren't simply dismissing it with a disdainful sniff and then studiously ignoring it. I have noticed, however, that many of them are all but gibbering ...in their rage, which means that Ann Coulter has once again touched upon the nerve of truth in "Slander." Couched in her usual brassy and forthright style, Ann refuses to let loose her stranglehold of Democrat, liberal politics and policies and pins 'em to the mat over and over again. NOT a book for the faint of heart -- reading it could just about set your hair on fire. Hey, we know Ann hit the target since this book shot straight to the top of [the] most popular book list. Ooo, I bet that makes the liberals just want to give her the biggest pinch!...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leftists Hate This Book Because It Is So TRUE
Review: Ann Coulter's book is well researched and exposes the true agenda of the far left in America. The goals of the far left include: (1) The implementation of an all powerful facist/socialist government that controls every aspect of our lives (2) The over throw of the Constitution of the United States by means of a coup of unelected far left judges (3) The break down of the family ties that have held all civilized societies together since the dawn of humankind (4) Intolerance towards anyone who dares to disagree and expose the far left's true agenda through such means as name calling, out right lies and yes SLANDER. Read the book and become educated about the true agenda of the far left. Ann Coulter's book is well researched and the facts that support her arguments are indisputable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What you'd expect
Review: Another review posted here complains about the lack of civil tone in Ann Coulter's book. Anyone familiar with Coulter understands that invective is her personal forte, but it is not as these other reviews contend, blind rage. Far from poorly reported, it is mercilessly footnoted, with many of the quotes of liberals damning in and of themselves without Coulter's help. Face it, people will buy this book because it is funny and because the subject matter here is cause for outrage. It is doubtful the negative reviews posted here were by people who actually read the book. More likely they are the people who can't stand the idea that anyone could ever question the liberal agenda as anything but the saving grace of all humanity. If you know Ann Coulter's work, you're going to love this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It couldn't be said any better or in fewer words
Review: Wow!! The liberals won't like this one. Ms. Coulter is very humorous
quite direct and ties the media bias, politics and politicians into a
nifty little package. It is one of those non fiction books you can
read just for pleasure. I will probably read it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As witty as Oscar Wilde
Review: Unlike the first six reviews, which look for all the world like phony "plants" posted out of partisan mischief, I actually had to wait until the book was in print to read it and write a review.

Like Ann herself, it is snappy and clever and often devastating. Hard to believe she has a law degree, her writing is readable, coherent--downright fun.

Unlike liberal writing, Ann actually bothers to document every assertion she makes. And her encounter with "Katie Collick" was a hoot--really takes apart this airhead of a "newswoman." The lengthy exposition about the remarkable career of Phyllis Schaffley was fascinating--I had no idea this woman carried such amazing credentials. Ann compares her to Gloria Steinmen--noting that the Ms editor had to sleep with Mort Druckerman to keep the feeble and irrelevant magazine in business.

Famous for her clever "shots"--she reminds me of Oscar Wilde and his devasting epigrams. I'll include one of my favorites, which I found quickly with her thorough index..."It is often absurdly said that scandals such as Gary Hart's affair with Donna Rice will discourage young idealists from going into politics. This is mainly said by Gary Hart."

Thought the Amazon readers needed to hear from someone who actually read the book, not just some leftwing pranksters trying to poison the well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Conservative Writer Bar None...
Review: Ann Coulter can write circles around Jonah Goldberg, Rod Dreher, and Rich Lowry at National Review and her departure from the magazine has made it much the poorer. I'm glad that as of this date her book is listed at number one on the Amazon.com charts. It restores my faith in the intelligence and common sense of the visitors to this website. Do us all a favor and buy a copy for every unfortunate soul that actually shelled out hard-earned money for that notorious and noisome jackass Michael Moore's book "Stupid White Men". Your purchase will be an effective antidote for his self-hating-middle-class-white-guy diatribes.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor research and horribly written
Review: I read this book for a laugh. I got that, but I got a lot more. I was scared after reading this book. I was scared that people out there think this is the truth. It sent chills down my spine.

I am not a Republican, nor a Democrat; let me just state that her unintelligible arguments are not based on truth, but instead right wing propaganda. In other words she is fighting this supposed liberal propaganda with right wing propaganda...it just makes very little coherent sense.

Furthermore, Coulter claims: "In the entire NEW YORK TIMES archives on LEXISNEXIS, there are 109 items using the phrase "far right wing," but only 18 items that use "far left wing," This is true, however, it hardly proves a thing since the very conservative Washington Times has approximately the same ratio. A simple check on LEXISNEXIS shows her figures on the NYT to be correct, yet a simple glance shows what Coulter COUNTED in her 109: 18 ratio. "Then Nick Anderson hit a 3-pointer from the far right wing". Yes people, it is true, she kept that in her count...amazing but true! So I ask, can this woman be trusted to tell the truth, when items like this are occurring? I'll let you be the judge on that one. But my answer is a big firm NO.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hillarious and frightening
Review: Once again, Ann Coulter attempts to provide justification for her world view using manipulated facts and outright lies...to interestingly enough, complain that mainstream media engages in the very same practices.

If the right looks bad to mainstream America, they have only their own reccord and actions to blame. From lynching laws to the attack on social security and equal pay, the conservative movement has historically been on the wrong side of public policy issues.

The American Left could not have done as good a job as the right wing itself in proving how mean spirited, shortsighted, unrealistic and irresponsible the conservative movement really is for America. Indeed, the truth speaks for itself.

That Coulter would feverishly attempt to rebut fact through the frenzied treatise indicates she is also aware of the reality, and is trying to ignore it through a profound case of projection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I guess the people finally will know the truth
Review: What Ms Coulter does is tell the shocking truth. Unfortunately, that same truth means that she will NOT be getting the puffy reviews the networks normally use to glorify liberal authors. This book gets the message across to the drugged masses who are fed a daily diet of Liberal network news + a helping of the Times or the Post. Try reading this book, America, then you'll watch the news in a whole new light. We need more balance, let's demand it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Page Turner
Review: One of Ann Coulter's points in the book is that liberals sink to name calling,propaganda, and lies to maintain power. Reading some of the reviewers comments above was humorous in that they prove her point.

I put this on the shelf next to Bruce's "The New Thought Police" and Twight's "Dependent on DC: The Rise of Federal Control over the Lives of Ordinary Americans"
