Summary: Utter B.S.
Review: This book is ridiculous, but reflects the conservative viewpoint. The conservative viewpoint is one of maximum containment, it is similar to the Israeli responce to terrorism-you must hit back or they will come back harder. This was also shown in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Both sides continually escalated tensions, refusing to back down, because to do so would only encourage the other side. This would have continued to the death of the world, had not JFK said "Enough," and backed down. Recently declassified Soviet documents have shown that when Soviets wanted to back down, the U.S. spurred them on. A good example was the infamous "Missle Gap" that JFK won the Presidency on. It turns out that the actual missle gap was on our side, and our increased expenditures only increased the conflict. Neocons believe justified: the increased spending and confrontation ended up with the end of the U.S.S.R. However, we are still cleaning up after this increased conflict. Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein are both the direct result of spending to contain communism. North Korea is still North Korea because we refused talk to Red China in the 50s-and China ended up supporting North Korea and turning the tide in the Korean War because they believed that we were going to push through to China. Iran-the result of the extremely viscious, corrupt, and evil regime of the Shah that we put in power in order to contain Communism. Finally, how someone can believe that the 6 million dead in Southeast Asia as a direct result of us, the 1 million dead in East Timor do to our support of a viscious tyrant named Suharto, or that selling arms to Iran and drugs to our youth and giving the money to CONTRAs (who would be labeled as terrorist now-killing civilians in order to overthrow a democratically elected government) is morally inept. Remember Republicans-Conservative Values are not Conservative Politics. Do not let abortion blind you to who is acting with compassion.

Summary: Ann Coulter is a Great Writer!
Review: Not since possibly Stephen King have I seen a fiction writer of such magnitude. Honestly I think what this country needs are more anorexic conservative hate-mongers. I do not agree with her referring it into two types of people like liberals or conservatives. It should actually be rationalists and blood-thirsty, money-hungry conservatives. Too bad for her that her books have not sold nearly as much as "liberals" like Michael Moore. It just must burn her up to know that people would rather read what she calls "misconstrued facts and lies" then what she is writing about. The conservatives may have conquered the television media through their control of the FCC and deregulation but they still can't stop us from reading differing opinions in books. I've read her book and what Adolf...Ann is selling most of use people with any sense aren't buying.

Summary: Liberal Angst-Ann over Hillary and how mad they will get
Review: I can only imagine the depth of hatred this book will inspire, when Hillary is knocked down and off the charts and this book thrives.
You can read the typical liberal savagery now. I can also see liberal's, unhappy with Hillary's showing in book form, sitting down to write a scathing portrait of this book which they have not and certainly will not read, just to make up for all of the negative reviews Hillary has received and from her own! No self respecting Conservative would pay a dime to read that drivel.
In any event, this book is a bit over- charged, but that is Ann.
Liberals hate this type of book becasue it doesn't shy away or sugar coat the fact that liberals will (and have) loved anyone no matter how mad, savage, repugnant or evil simply to excercise their inability to cope with a narcissistic personality disorder matched only by the hatred they have for themselves as well, among other things.
I recommend this book as a counter-balance to the nonsense put out by the leftist media that couldn't tella story straight even if that had to.

Summary: Dear Ann, define "liberal"
Review: I'll admit right off that I couldn't finish this one. After 270 pages I gave up. The writing was adequete but pedestrian and full of tired rhetoric of the right, and it became tedious. I wanted to be persuaded, to be convinced, but Ann Coulter's logic is seriously flawed. There is nothing here but more shilling for the "radical right wing wackos". There are no reasonable arguments, "liberal' is defined as anyone, or anything that disagrees with Ann's obsessive defense of the indefensible. I wish just once that an admitted conservative would define what he or she believes a liberal is, or should be. Pandering so blindly the the fifty year conspiracy of the right to abolish the Constitution and Bill of Rights, curb free speech and the right to a "redress of grievances", and grant a royalty of entitlement for the rich, corrupt, and greedy, as well corporate hounds, is not patriotic, that is treason. G. W. Bush and his confederacy of dunces are even more scary than Nixon and his black bag boys - they think they are patriots, and the flag belongs to only them, and Ann is helping spread the myth of a liberal press just to appease the monster, and it gets scarier and scarier with every move the right makes. Ann, can't see the forest for the trees, and the traitors are those she admires. SCARY! If I could have given no stars I would have, but so be it.

Summary: A Useful Correction to Revisionist History
Review: It amazes me when I read reviews written by people who say they have yet to read this fantastic book. ann steps on toes, pokes holes in liberal sacred cows, and generally sets the record straight. If the show fits, put it on! I suspect this book is going to rub some intellectual "corns" in the wrong way!

Summary: An important book to read
Review: This book is extremely well written and well researched. Ms. Coulter is a great story teller. But don't get me wrong, this book is no work of fiction. If you have any interest in American history or politics, get this book. If you just want a book that is a great read, get this book.

Summary: Shrill Harpy Moron
Review: Someone should point out to Ann Coulter that McCarthy's hateful vendetta was finally brought down not by liberals, but by the Republicans and the U.S. Army . Revisionist history indeed. Who's gonna be the heroic subject of her next book, Hitler?

Summary: More Sensationalism from Coulter
Review: Ann Coulter, one of the many conservative entertainers who jumpstarted their careers by hopping on the Clinton impeachment bandwagon, is now facing a dilemma: the national airwaves and presses are becoming inundated with conservative pundits. Gone are the days when political commentary focused more on journalism than entertainment, and gone are the days when Rush Limbaugh was one of the only "the party can do no wrong" pundits in national syndication. The success of the Fox News brand of "edu-tainment" has opened the door to literally hundreds of established celebrities and would-be upstarts, from Michael Moore to Michael Savage, all trying to make as much money as possible by pandering to a particular audience. Since Coulter's wildly inflammatory and insulting rhetoric has rendered her persona non grata with the national TV and radio networks, destroying any chance she had of getting her own show (even Fox News only invites her on occasionally), she has no choice but to distinguish herself by continuously "upping the ante" and coming out with more and more provocative and sensational content (much like TV networks are continuously pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable on television). This time around, Coulter has sunk to depths that would make the National Enquirer proud, accusing more than three quarters of the population of the US of treason, while in the same breath wildly defending a man who did much the same thing fifty years ago, Joseph McCarthy. From the title onward, Treason is sensationalism of the worst sort. The tone is rude, spiteful, and arrogant, and Coulter does not even pretend to present balanced or objective evidence to support her disingenuous arguments. She omits large portions of history and substitutes invective for pertinent fact, all the while maintaining her theory that a vast liberal conspiracy lurks in the shadows, and she plays the same game with endnotes that she did in Slander, padding her book with an impressive list of citations, many of which are taken out of context or misrepresented. In true Orwellian fashion, she sets out not only to prove that liberals are treasonous and bitter, but to prove that ALL liberals have ALWAYS been treasonous and wrong -- thus, conservatives have always been right, and men like McCarthy are portrayed as unsung heroes persecuted by monsters like Edward R. Murrow. In the end, all this really proves is that Coulter is too young to have lived through the McCarthy era, and that she never bothered to interview anyone who did. Like Slander, Treason it not a serious political work; it's entertainment, written by a fame-seeking entertainer, for a small but vocal audience. In a way, it's very much like the tabloids with headlines like "The Pope Admits He's Gay!" that we see every day in supermarkets. We know it's not true, but it's sensational and it grabs our attention (and our money) anyway.

Summary: Stop squealing 1-star stuck pigs; give some rebuttal
Review: Coulter has again reaped a bountiful harvest in this current pig-killing season; the bacon and ham hocks are hanging ripe in the smokehouse after her searing indictment of the Democrat party leadership during the 40's and 50s. But don't be misled, this book isn't pork, or any kind of meat at all. It is that wonderful and honorable (although quite rare these days) discipline known as HISTORY. The porkers on the left are squealing, and this time the wounds appear fatal to their corrupt, disingenous and treasonous ideology. With the revelations of the Venona Project, there can be no denying that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were filled with proven Soviet spies and Communist party lackies. Alger Hiss, Rosevelt's advisor at Yalta, was a Soviet spy. Julius Rosenberg, his wife and their cronies were Soviet spies who were responsible for holding the world hostage to nuclear Armageddon for 50 years, due to their providing of nuclear secrets to the Soviets. Of course Henry Wallace, former Vice President of the United States, was a Communist and Soviet sympathizer. And yet the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR et al continue to ignore the facts. But Coulter again (like her previous works) gives voluminous footnotes documenting the facts from which she demonstrates the truth about these matters. Yet note all the 1-star ratings this great book has received from other alleged "readers". They are by in large one or two lines of name calling. Read any 5 of them and see how many times the word "hate" and "fascism" is used. See how little reference to specific content of the book they cite. Liberal partisans are obviously projecting their own hate onto the source of their unveiling and downfall. It is the hard left wing that are the professional "haters" in our society, as Coulter amply proves. Often times, this hard left is called "mainstream" by the hard left press (NY Times, etc). Coulter demonstrates that liberal leadership has often been made up of wannabe totalitarians that are kept in check only by our Constitution and the liberty loving conservative patriots, like McCarthy, that rise up and stand in the gap at the critical times in history. But liberal leadership still has their shills in the old leftwing media. They are obviously staying up late at night to give 1 star reviews to this book they haven't read, and stating as "not helpful" all the reviews like this one. If you're interested in Truth about Communism and the legacy of the Democrat party, read this book. If you don't like seeing facts cremating cherished ideological beliefs, stay in the dark and go on believing the lies. If you consider yourself a liberal and a patriot, then most likely you don't understand the realities your leaders represent, or the treachery. Read Coulter's version of the facts, check her sources (don't just start name calling), and make up your mind based on reality. Read this book. Either believe the facts she's documented or do research and produce rebuttal. Card-carrying, rank-and-file liberals should look to their "great intellectuals" on the left to disprove Coulter's well-documented proofs that have destroyed what little credibility the liberal ideology represents. If she's making it up, prove it. Proving Ann Coulter to be a liar would be a strong move to the hoop for the left. But you'd best get better round-ballers than so-called comedian and minus IQer Al Franken, or crackpot autistic Michael Moore. Otherwise, prove your superior intelligence by demonstrating that brilliant intellectual function: change your mind to line up with the facts! And to you 1-star reviewers: give just 1 FACT clearly rebutting a footnoted documentation of fact in Treason. Just 1, come on. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"...
