Summary: Perhaps we deserve this
Review: So few of us take the time to refute or question what we see and hear that it's easy for people like James Carville and Ann Coulter to spew skewed "facts" and smile smugly, secure in the knowledge that we'll swallow anything if voiced with conviction (or in an entertainingly flip manner). We are awed by blonde hair and the use of footnotes (footnotes!). Take out your yellow highlighter and red pen and it's laughably easy to dissect Coulter's childish constructions. She sleeps well at night knowing that the average American will do no such thing. Even the blessed existence of a site like spinsanity.org - - where the right and left get equal and deserved comeuppance - - is not enough to encourage critical thinking among those who have mystifyingly given this pack of childish semantic fumbles FIVE STARS and actually SIGNED THEIR NAMES. I can see why canny Democrats are hoping to keep Coulter front and center. She sends undecideds with even a shred of intellectual discipline sprinting over to the left. And it's not like that's such a great place to be, either.

Summary: Ann hits a homer!
Review: Ms. Coulter factually exposes the lies that liberals have created about Senator McCarthy, President Reagan, George Bush and every other conservative patriot they have hated over the last half century. Her facts about the the now declassified Venona Project's intercept of Soviet cables to their spies in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations is truly shocking! Those administrations gave away half the world to a Communist hell and have never been held to account. Thanks, Ann.

Summary: Treason
Review: Wow! was that eye opening. Liberals will surely try to do and say anything to keep you from reading this book. A must read.

Summary: Truth will out, even if it takes fifty years...
Review:
She's baaaa-aaack! And with yet another "as amusing as it is important" book. Using primary sources (something liberals don't do when talking about Joe McCarthy), Coulter demonstrates that we've been had about the Cold War and the people who fought it, not to mention those who resisted our efforts to win it. We now see that Joe McCarthy was right about Communists working for our government (that was proven in the mid-90's with the declassification of the Venona project documents, which amazingly never became "big news" with the mainstream media). We also see how complacent liberals of his time not only couldn't have cared less, but worked hard to smear those who, along with McCarthy, wanted to do something about it (it seems that the only difference between the liberals of the 1950's and turn-of-the-century liberals is that the latter have dropped "homosexual" from the list of names to call their political opponents).

Summary: A Consesrvative Street Fighter, Ann Coulter
Review: She's terrific. Clearly she's smart and articulate. Nothing seems to get past her. Lots and lots of notes back up her comments and claims throughout, so we know that she's scholarly,as well. And, heavens knows, she is funny. Not comedic funny, but wonderfully ironic and sardonic. As with her first book, Libel, I found myself laughing my way through the parts, and being left with the profundity of the whole. But I think what I like most about Ann Coulter is that she is a conservative street fighter who knows how to get down and dirty with the liberal opposition. The scrapping, unscrupulous liberal Democrats are so accustomed to the chronic support of the mainstream media and to the refined rebuttals, careful criticisms and dull diaglogue of their gentlemanly Queensberry Rules Republican adversaries that Ann must knock them for a loop. (Notice in all of the one and two star ratings found on this site, the attacks are personal, not substantive.) She has taken the battle to the liberal enemy and uses their rules of engagement-- EXCEPT she is honest AND she loves her country.

Summary: Vile, Traitorous, Deceitful People
Review: There are some people in this country who are clearly un-American. They obviously hate America and the principles at the heart of this great nation. They will stop at nothing in their attempts to smear and defame those who understand what makes America truly great. Those people are lunatic extremists like Ann Coulter. She recently named J Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon to a list of 5 people from the 20th century who most protected freedom. The same J Edgar Hoover who illegally and secretly spied on an American Hero like Martin Luther King Jr in efforts to smear him. The same Richard Nixon who had to resign the Presidency following the discovery of how his hired goons had attempted to steal from and bug offices of the opposition political party--a tactic better suited to the Saddam Husseins, Josef Stalins and Mussolinis of the world. Coulter's latest anti-American screed suffers from numerous faults--among them laziness and deception. For instance, she repeatedly writes things like "According to the NY Times," or "As the Washington Post reported" when in fact she is quoting from COLUMNISTS in those papers. A person could gather quotes from conservative columnist William Safire--whose columns appear in the NYTimes--and claim the NYTimes is frothing at the mouth with right-wing radicalism. That would be sloppy, dishonest and untrue. And that is what Ann Coulter does. She also just does not know basic facts. On page 51 she writes about Afghanistan and the Taliban during the 1980s; the Taliban did not form until 1994. On 229 she quotes Bill Clinton saying something ridiculous with no attribution; a lexis-nexis search shows no such quote exists. The distortions and lies go on and on. Don't insult your intelligence--or your country--by reading this thoroughly insipid, false and anti-American book.

Summary: Conservatives should be better than this.
Review: I'll start by saying this: I am a lifelong Republican, conservative, and church-going Christian. A friend gave me thins book for my birthday last week. I have not read any other of Coulter's book and I only read the first 50 pages of this book (with some skimming of the rest). I can agree with many things Coulter has to say about liberals. I believe they are seriously wrong on many issues, especially the size and obligations of government. This book, however, made me ill. Thoughtful conservatives ought to denounce this sort of naming calling at the top of their lungs. I come from a liberal family and while I disagree strongly with them, they love this country as much as I do. Treason is a serious charge and it's a disgrace to conservatives to see one of our own use it so callously. If this is the public face of conservative thought in this country, I'm embarrassed.

Summary: Treason is Beyond Reason
Review: The 5-star people point to the "Facts" in this purposely inflamatory assault on anyone who disagrees with Ms. Coulter. The facts are, of course, selected, sifted, bent, and editorialized by Coulter. My real problem with this whole mess of a book is her view that basically half of this country has been and is treasonous simply for being politically left (whatever that means) leaning. She can't be serious and I suspect she isn't...she hopes to ride the current crest of conservatism to sell more books. Fortunately, for the vast majority of Americans, we are on to her, and her book and views will propel the steady decline of this radical right carping. After seeing her on TV news magazines and reading this hogwash I do think she is off her rocker. Just plain nuts as they say. Psst, Catherine...our country was founded on and propered by the basic right to debate and have differing opinions...that does not make anyone a traitor. It makes them a patriot. She will sell some books, and then in few years fade away I'm sure.

Summary: Please! Look up the documentation! It's important!
Review: The fact that so many people are giving this book 5 stars and praising its "facts" and documentation is downright scary! Check out these "facts" before you believe them! To get started, go to Spinsanity.org, a non-partisan site that exposes deceptive statements from BOTH sides. (They hit Michael Moore just as hard as Ann Coulter.) It is amazing how often a mis-statement is made, the media quotes itself repeatedly until before long, it becomes accepted wisdom. I believe most conservatives are thinking people who want to know the truth. I hope I am right!
