Summary: It was fair.
Review: I have a friend who thinks that Hannity, his idealogy and his book are great. He took it upon himself to create a Acrobat file of the book (it must have taken a long time) so that he could print out copies and give it to friends. It was expensive, time consuming and a waste of time (in my opinion).

Summary: Excellent analysis of current world situation
Review: Indeed, it has been nearly 3 years since 9/11, the day the conservative pundit business went through the roof, and it continues to make millionaires out of the legions of right-wing bibble-di-babblers that are crowding the cable talk shows and best-selling book lists. Although we are bombarded with the same message 24 hours a day from the countless conservative yakkety-yakkety-yakkety-yakkers on tv, it is good to have another book to affirm what we already believe: terror bad, bush good...liberals bad, conservatives good, Hillary bad, bush good.... They may be simple concepts that can be summed up in 2 or 3 lines, but Hannity expands on these ideas and presents us with passionate opinions on individual liberals and particular events to demonstrate how liberals are bad and conservatives are good and uses large fonts, so that it stretches out to over 300 pages and you feel like your getting your money's worth. Although it is tragic to think about the thousands who died on 9/11 and the young soldiers who are dying in Iraq every day, it does warm one's heart to see thoughtful, articulate, self-satisfied young Americans like Hannity making the most out of the situation. This is his 2nd book about this subject, and it is basically a carbon copy of his first book that came out last year. Hopefully, he puts this book out with a different title every year, so that future generations will also be enlightened by his brilliant message of liberals and terrorists bad, conservatives good.

Summary: An ex-liberal who READ the book.
Review: Unlike most of the reviewers here, I actually READ the book before I wrote this review. Not being a logician, I'm not sure about the claims of circular reasoning. It seemed reasonable enough to me, but I do agree that the book lacks depth. Regardless, it is a novel look at our political system and the forces driving it. To achieve more depth, Hannity will doubtless have to spend much time refining and developing his theory, just as any scientist would develop supporting material after proposing a new theory. But he deserves great credit for the courage in proclaiming such a "controversial" idea as good and evil. I find it very amusing that the majority of the "liberal" reviewers of this book are so consumed by their hatred of Hannity that they virtually confirm his theory of the existence of evil by spewing ill-written, misspelled hate speech all over this site. I also observed that the majority never even mention the book, which I very much doubt that they read, and were unwilling to display their true names, preferring to hide behind anonymity while spouting their ill-aimed bile. If anyone doubted the truth of Hannity's views, a cursory examination of these reviews would certainly confirm their legitimacy. It appears that the "free love" of the sixties, which provided the basis for much of current Liberal thought, has devolved into an "establishment" of reactionary, knee-jerk liberalism. I am an old hippy myself, but I don't remember this much hatred being a part of the sixties scene. I think the conservatives and the liberals have traded political roles over the years. I am in favor of overthrowing the establishment as much as the next liberal, but the liberals have BECOME the establishment. The hatred that they continually express is appalling, more akin to the reactionary fear of the older generation in the early sixties than the supposed generosity and free thinking of the "compassionate" party. Unlike others who claim to be such, I AM an independent thinker. I don't agree with all that Hannity espouses, but I believe that his views deserve serious consideration, regardless of the flaws of the book. The book is a good read, expressing serious and important thought, and is deserving of better treatment than it has received at the hands of so-called "liberals".

Summary: Brilliant, Factual and Truthful!
Review: This book is a breath of fresh air in a very pungent time in America. Sean goes at the Liberals in America with the facts he's taken the time to dig up and find, the truth that liberals don't want the average American to know about.
If you are considering this book, don't listen to what these liberals are saying about it (heck, most of them haven't even read the book... only replying to the subtitle.), pick it up and read for yourself.
Sean Hannity is a man of morals, values and convictions. He has a back bone and isn't afraid to reveal his "agenda" to the world, unlike most liberals.
Sean... I give you a big pat on the back for the good work you've done on this book. It is one of the best I've read in a long time. Yada Boy Sean!!!

Summary: Bush's Disposable Soldiers...
Review: The Forgotten Soldiers of Operation "Iraqi Freedom" His name's Maurice. He's 26 years old with a face like an angel and a computerized
prosthesis where his left leg used to be. His name's Victor and he still seems like a boy. His cherubic face, set against blond hair, is plagued by an
unanswerable question every time his restless eyes inadvertently fall
on the stump: "Why?" His name's Steve and you couldn't imagine a more All-American soldier
-- that is to say if he hadn't lost his right arm. A real good patriot, he's always in control of himself and he has the
air of an American hero. His name's Rob. Bound to a wheelchair, he's mad at the whole world and explodes in a
barrage of insults at everyone and everything for the loss of his
right leg and the uselessness of his left. Maurice, Victor, Steve, and Rob are just a few of the thousands of
GI's returning from Iraq -- often with one or more limbs amputated,
flown in with little notice under the cover of night and brought to
Walter Reed military Hospital in Washington, D.C. Here, they're operated on, treated, fitted with prosthetics when
possible, generally medicated, and given psychological and physical
therapy. For the record, Walter Reed is the hospital where wounded soldiers
returning from Vietnam went. No fanfare for these heroes. On top of the injuries they've had to endure to their bodies and
hearts, they come home to be ignored by mainstream American media. Only an English TV station, Channel 4, considered it newsworthy to go
to the hospital to interview the injured soldiers. Of course, all interviewees must be selected and briefed by army
leadership in advance of any conversations with journalists. Curiously, the casualty statistics released by the Pentagon contradict
those of the U.S Army. While the Pentagon contends that 2722 soldiers have been wounded in
action and 417 in non hostile fire as of March 1, the U.S. Air Force
confides that it has flown approximately 12,000 wounded soldiers into
Andrews Air Force Base over the past 9 months. With the severity of injuries sustained, it seems like the Pentagon's
reduced estimates are meant to camouflage a scandal that could cost
George Bush his re-election. "They come here [to Walter Reed Hospital]19 or 20 old and when I see
them leaving with missing limbs - I've seen up to 3 limbs gone off
people and I don't think in our generation, we've seen this amount of
harm done to young people", explained Major General Delaune on public
radio in Minnesota. "During the Gulf War, there were about 3 soldiers wounded for every
death. In the current Iraq war, there are 7 wounded for every death",
says an article titled "New Technologies and Medical Practices Save
Lives in Iraq" in a Knight-Ridder newsaper. The facts support this statement: the Kevlar vests the soldiers now
wear save lives, not limbs. England's newspaper The Guardian reports that the medical personnel,
overwhelmed, work 70-80 hours a week, and according to CBS,
Washington's largest military hospital has had to borrow beds from its
cancer ward to meet the swollen needs of its prosthetics ward. Still the hospital can't handle the load, and several wounded soldiers
are being put up in a nearby hotel. Of course you won't be seeing any of this in a Bush campaign ad or read about it in a Hannity book...

Summary: Bush Turns White House into Fundraiser Brothel
Review: President Bush opened the White House and Camp David to dozens of
overnight guests last year, including foreign dignitaries, family
friends and at least nine of his biggest campaign fund-raisers,
documents show. In all, Bush and first lady Laura Bush have invited at least 270
people to stay at the White House and at least the same number to
overnight at the Camp David retreat since moving to Washington in
January 2001, according to lists the White House provided The
Associated Press. The Crooked Lying Bush White House becomes the Bush Fundraiser Motel..

Summary: Deliver Us from Evil

Summary: Another Heaping Pile of Dung...
Review: ...from Fox News' leading neocon hack. Hannity's brand of (il)logic is so convoluted I expected to find a minotaur waiting for
me at the end of this book. For Hannity & his ilk everything is black or white. Let me save you, dear reader, some valuable time & hard earned $$. Hanniy's basic point is - Republicans = "Good", Democrats = "EVIL". That's it. Surprise, surprise, you really bowled me over with that revelation, Sean. I hope I didn't spoil the ending for any avid (rabid) readers out there.
Here's a revelation you should consider, Sean; there are a million shades of grey between black & white. Get your head out of the presidential rear, open your eyes & take a look.

Summary: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism
Review: .
.
The subtitle should really read "...Despotism, and DEMOCRATS" That's what Hannity REALLY means. He'll do or say anything to defeat democrats. I couldn't really get past the subtitle to read the book. Hannity has too many (un)hidden agendas to write a thoughtful book. He's like a broken record. Let's hear something new. And I believe Publisher's Weekly when they say the book is full of circular reasoning. I hear it every day on the radio, as I give Hannity my twenty minutes a day. Hannity is an intelligent, quick minded individual. I just wish he would be an individual thinker as well, instead of just jumping on the conservative, anti-democrat bandwagon. But if I could make his kind of money, I'd jump on that wagon too. Hannity, more power to 'ya. I dislike the silly, repetitive, close minded, circular things you say so much that I have to tune in every day to hear the latest ridiculousness. But listening to the radio is easy. Not gonna buy the book. Not gonna do it.
