Rating:  Summary: The Truth Will Out Review: Ann is right on ... how many times have I seen a conservative making a thoughtful argument and the liberal debating opponent dismisses the argument with the statement " you're a bigot" or "you want to starve old people" (e.g.) ... liberals never want to use thoughtful arguments, just invective and and name calling. Ann points this out with examples too numerous to enumerate
Rating:  Summary: Another Best Seller for your Library Review: First I want to acknowledge the Liberals who were able to buy the book and read it so quickly. I did notice that none of them critiqued the book, rather they chose to slanderize Ann Coulter (how ironic is that?). Ann's book is extremely intense. Many of the sentences contain so much insight and information they could qualify as paragraphs. Ann applies humor and fact and an abundance of research to illustrate how the Liberal Media has blasted Faith, Family, Freedom for the last quarter of a century. If you enjoyed BIAS, you will enjoy SLANDER.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Work Review: Once again, a well-written and entertaining book by Ann. She has a keen eye for truth - and tells it all with great charm and sometimes biting wit! The typical responses from the Left are against her character, writing style, and most of all, her meaning - there seems to be a numbing (sort of neurotic) DENIAL from the Left regarding what is often patently obvious and plainly experienced many people. It takes a gifted writer like Ann to bring forth both the obvious and not-so-obvious liberal slander in our major media (and other institutions).... The world needs more intellectuals like Ann to boldly state what needs to be stated!
Rating:  Summary: Proves her point Review: An excellent book and you lefties writing slimy reviews prove her point. You can't attack facts or ideas so you just sling the slime and insults and shout down and filibuster any who disagree. Shows the moral bankruptcy of the left. We need more like Ann to show the slanting of media.
Rating:  Summary: Liberals Steaming at Truth Review: Ann Coulter provides the smoking gun evidence of liberal bias in the form of direct quotes from the mouths of the liberal lying media that deny such libral bias exists. She correctly identifies the childish, name calling antics of the left, as diversionary tactics to divert from the fact that they lack the ability to discuss issues, nor do they want to. The side show of false accusations and spin is enough to fool some of the people some of the time, which accounts for Clinton's election twice. She also provides statistics, such as the frequency with which conservatives are negatively alluded to by the media, as compared to glowing terms for liberals and liberal ideas. The fact that she is dead on can be evidenced in the negative liberal reviews .... They wouldn't try so hard to discredit it if it weren't filled with truth.
Rating:  Summary: Conservative tells the truth! Review: Slander is a great read. This book must be read by moderate Americans to open their eyes to liberal hate speech.As a conservative every day the networks tell me that I am evil.Thanks to FOX I have a more balance news program to watch. I feel diversity is important and the country needs political thought that is more diverse than Rather, Jennings, Brokaw and now Stephanoplis. How anyone can deny liberal bias in the media and keep a straight face is beyond me. Keep up the great work Ann.
Rating:  Summary: Speaks a Truth Liberals Continue to Deny Review: This book covers, in the authors unique-take no prisoners style, the ongoing bias that the major media has against any person or organization right of center. Many comparisons will be made to Bernard Goldberg's "Bias", but while Mr. Goldberg thinks that the anti-right bias in the media is accidental, perhaps unintetional, Coulter demonstrates an intense desire by the major media to demonize the political right, and use the bully pulpit of television and newspapers to do it. If you have seen Ms. Coulter on one of her television appearances, you know that she is extremely intelligent, and has a quick, cutting wit. She also has a very good writing style that makes the book a joy to read. Reading the book reveals the passion she feels for the subject, but unlike many writers on the left, she also backs it up with intellectual thought. Ignore the 1-star reviews from the knee-jerk leftist reviewers and read this book. If you're on the right side of the political spectrum, this book will summarize all of those things you suspected about the major media. If you're on the left, this book may infuriate you... but if you're an intellectually honest leftist, it will demonstrate a truth you may not have noticed in the past. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Rating:  Summary: Wrong Spokesperson for Conservativism Review: I am a long-time conservative and wish to persuade fellow conservatives not to buy this book. Ms. Coulter is a poor spokesperson for our ideology. Her book is filled with a seemingly infinite number of misrepresentations and misquotes. If you doubt me, simply spend some time checking some of her footnotes for yourself. You will be, as I was, astonished with the number of misrepresentations that are in the first five pages of the book. There is no doubt that the media, in the name of self-preservation, will bring Ms. Coulter's lies and distortions to light, and her lies will tarnish the conservative movement. We conservatives are better served by relying on facts than distorting the position of those with opposing views. Our cause is not furthered by attempting to deceive people by attaching citations to misrepresentations with the hope that nobody will check them. It is furthered by engaging in intelligent debate about the issues. Send a message to Ms. Coulter that she is hurting us more than helping us--do not buy this book.
Rating:  Summary: Touche! Review: Coulter's book is the first time that words and organized ideas have captured the bad tase in my mouth left by spin in the media and politics. I was extremely pleased to see her analysis backed with invoked evidence to combat the emotionally-based ideas of the left. I'll take fact over bleedy-heart activism anyday. It works.
Rating:  Summary: Don't judge a book by its cover... Review: The fact that 6 people could review this book on the day it is published seems a bit misleading. Although Coulter is, to her own acknowledgement, a extreme right-winger, it doesn't mean she is the next Satan to invade the planet. She makes extremely valid points that are enhanced by her personal expose style. No one in academia will denounce the fact that there is extreme liberal bias in the media, and that only a few newspapers in the country (such as the Washington Post) can be considered moderate to slightly conservative. And if you're a liberal, you shouldn't be mad that the country is on your side. You obviously don't agree with what she has to say, but she doesn't agree about what you think either. This book is a refresher for all who feel that they've been suckered into feeling or thinking things they truly don't believe in. And to those who posted "reviews" on the day this book was published... it only shows a lack of tact and intelligence on your part. Be informed and know what's going on and make an intelligent assessment of something before you dare to propose your knowledge of it.
