Rating:  Summary: Truth hurts doesn't it? Review: Yes I know it's painful for the tactics of the Left to be brought out in the light of day, but Ann has done it remarkably well. Awwww, does that hurt a few Leftist's feelings? Too bad, time to answer up to the baseless bashing the Left is so intent upon. Bravo Ann, keep up the good work!
Rating:  Summary: Liberals need to quit bashing this book... Review: Ann does come off a little terse, but this is nothing different then what conservative bashers have been doing for years. I don't think Ann is going to make any friends out of Liberals with this book, but it is a good read. One review mentioned that it is Liberals that have made all the great things in this country. I have to say "Wake Up". Take everyones money and let the govt decide how to spend it. Why not let the people who work for their money keep more of it and let them/us decide what to do with it. The govts. job is not to run our lives and give us what they (govt) think we (the people) need.
Rating:  Summary: Leftist Lies Buried Under an Avalanche of Truth Review: The same strategy that will win the war on terrorism can win the war against the left: Namely, giving back to the terrorists 10 times what they hit us with. Bloody a bully's nose, and the bully will run away crying.Ann Coulter understands this, and this is the tack she takes in this book. With profuse footnotes, Coulter shines the bright light of truth on the dominant media cockroaches and their clients on the political left. It is an unrelenting bare-knuckle slugfest that is a delight to read....if you are a conservative. Coulter takes the words of the dominant leftist media (The New York Times and the 3 major TV networks are the most frequent targets) and turns them against them, exposing a breathtaking pattern of deceit and mendacity that will be shocking to the uninitiated. To veterans of the war for the truth, it is a much-needed exlixhir that reminds us that our enemy has no shame and cares nothing for the truth when it interferes (as it almost ALWAYS does) with their utopian vision of an Orwellian America. The sheer weight and breadth of Coulter's sources dispel any notion that this book is just a vicious diatribe. It is loaded with ammunition for soldiers of the truth to go back out onto the field of battle with. The very words of the most "respected" stars of the radical left are used to pummel them into oblivion. It is a quick and fun read, and you will find yourself shaking your head in disbelief at the sheer audacity of the mainstream media as their concerted and sometimes coordinated schemes against the truth are exposed. We on the right can learn a great deal from the approach of Ann Coulter: No more Mr. Nice Guy! Ann Coulter is as mad as hell, as should be anyone who seeks the truth, and truth-seekers will be armed to the teeth after they take a dose of Coulter's high-octane elixhir.
Rating:  Summary: Too Hot for the Left to Handle Review: In the misty realm of the Liberal left, towing the party line is safe and the flock huddles together. Conservatives as a rule may not be as blunt as Ann Coulter, and sadly, too often take the diplomatic high road approach. Rather than be mocked by the leftist flock, they hope mankind will come to obvious, reasonable conclusions. Coulter minces no words but slices with precision. Not intimidated by the liberals nor content to play the silent diplomat, her book moves quickly to the core of the current state of affairs. Wielding her pen she strikes where too many are fearful to go. Coulter names issues, names the individuals, and summarizes well. Ann Coulter connects, hitting the bulls-eye in "Slander." Coulter's book does not rehash and rehaze the rhetoric cleverly peddled as truth by mainstream media. She holds her own and clears the mist for all who dare take an honest look.
Rating:  Summary: Thanks, Jeff Nimeroff Review: As I person who values the honesty of real people when choosing books to read, Thanks! I actually wanted to buy this book just to discover truths about democrats and republicans. But the reviews are enough. Especially from Jeff Nimeroff.
Rating:  Summary: The American way Review: She is laughing all the way to the bank. That's America UNFORTUNATELY. She seems very sad though.
Rating:  Summary: On par with the liberal-baiting of the Fox News Channel Review: Ann Coulter's observations in this book are about as insightful as Bill O'Reilly's assertions that America will win the war on terrorism as soon as the government declares 24-hour armed watch along the entire lengths of both our Mexican and Canadian borders. Though the parallel between the two is a stretch, I'm sure neither of them would mind it if the government constructed an ideological Great Wall around America tomorrow. The fact is, Coulter and her ilk manage to so eloquently present the views of traditionally disenfranchised groups such as Wall Street financiers and compassionate capitalists who one could have found in abundance at such companies as Tyco, Enron, and WorldCom. The crux of Coulter's own hypocrisy is made clear by the amount of time dedicated to her own smear campaign, along with the failure to delineate a clear direction in her book. In its entirety, "Slander" is a monstrously horrible rebuttal which quickly assumes the negative characteristics of that which the book purports to criticize. If one must attempt to stomach the conservative viewpoint, William Buckley Jr. presents a passable notion of mainstream conservatism (if there is such a thing). As a student at Coulter's alma mater, Cornell University, I can indeed attest to the fact that the University System is completely run by and biased towards liberals (to be more accurate, many of them are actually conservative-liberals who assume the "liberal" title for their own political advancement, but that's another story), which is probably why most of society feels the aftereffects. At Cornell, Coulter became the first editor-in-chief of the Cornell Review, an inflammatory conservative newspaper whose entire reason for existence is liberal-baiting. Hence, with this book, Coulter continues her verbal sophistry by attempting to hawk her ideology within the publishing realm. Stay away from this book at all costs.
Rating:  Summary: Split those infinitives! Mix those metaphors! Review: Lefties being bashed, and they don't like it one bit. This book certainly isn't a political work to be read 5 years from now, but for today, how nice to see someone playing the game at which liberals are so adept : attack. This book makes evident that in modern so-called Liberal Thought are the seeds of a new fascism. A subtle fascism, to be sure, but nonetheless dangerous at that.
Rating:  Summary: Liberals will choke on this detailed breakdown of the media Review: Although I prefered the last 2 books that Ann wrote, I found this read to be informative and straight to the heart. While exposing Dan Rather and Katie Couric as slanted and biased liberals is like exposing Richards Simmons as feminine, Ann took the time to clearly show the whitewashing of the Republican Party as fanatics by the mainstream press. I'm sure the folks at the soon-to-be defunct Salon.com are screaming in there sleep over this book. I think you'll find it a good read and worth the purchase.
Rating:  Summary: Ann Coulter is on target! Review: FINALLY!! Someone is willing to take on the left with courage and truth. This is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered if there was another side to the story. This book answers the questions why conservative talk radio, conservative web sites and Fox News are so popular, and why the mainstream media "stars" are fading away.
