Rating:  Summary: Love it! Review: The chapter quoting celebrities on their views of Bush and the war on terrorism is particularly priceless. Ann is a master of using liberal celebrity's own...words against them.
Rating:  Summary: Isn't it simply amazing... Review: ...That none of the liberals that attacked this book in their reviews bothered to take on issues or facts? No, they simply resort to name-calling and outright dismissal of the work simply because it questions their views. Fortunately, that is what this book is about. The plain, unvarnished truth is that the liberal agenda has become plainly anti-American. Coulter's book exposes some of the Left's Great Big Lies, and since they cannot and will not deal with facts, it's easier for them to resort to canned hatred and smear tactics. Read the online reviews, see for yourself. Better yet, skip the reviews and buy the book.
Rating:  Summary: Slept through American History class, did you Ann? Review: I was rather flummoxed by this book. I read the chapter on Joe McCarthy first, and started laughing. What an amazing lack of understanding this woman has! Is she projecting or what? In the words of a political talk show host addressing Ann, "You just make s___ up!" Yes, I'd say she does. I gave the book two stars simply for making me laugh so hard.
Rating:  Summary: Another look at the McCarthy Era Review: Having learned about the McCarthy era in school, I was surprised to find Ann Coulter defending Tailgunner Joe! The fact that there may be another side to the story is astounding and worth the price of the book. Her analysis of Reagan's successful "war" against the Soviet Union is inspiring, and her criticism of the whinny "sissy-boys" of Hollywood is hilarious. I think, however, her use of the word TREASON is a bit over done. Treason implies a willful betrayal of an ideal for some purpose. Most who adopt the "liberal" view do so for only one reason: to be popular.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent read! Review: Sets straight some long held myths.
Rating:  Summary: The Socialists are unmasked...and documented. Review: Ann goes through the painstaking effort to document what the Socialists/Marxists say in their bashing of America. Ann brings up excellent points like, Why is it off limits to question the Socialists/Marxists about their patriotism? Ann answers that question convincingly...because they don't.
Rating:  Summary: At Last Review: Ann Coulter finally give a point a view of McCarthy that no school text book would ever give! Imagine, finally hearing the other side of the argument! I wish Someone could have told me about this when I was in school. Another book by Coulter, chock full of valid historical references and well constucted criticism and argument!
Rating:  Summary: Thoroughly researched and historically accurate. Review: I must admit, I have not read Slander, Ann Coulter's first book, however I did read numerous reviews that said it was "poorly researched and filled with lies" and such forth. I suspect much the same will be said of this book simply b/c people feel like disagreeing with her. I, myself, have always been curious as to why McCarthy is so demonized when it's been well proven that he was right and I have yet to find anyone whose life was "irrevocably destroyed" by him. Treason is very well researched, I myself recognized about half of her quotes and documentation. I am fascinated by and take it upon myself to study history. What i've found in my study is that many people wish to comfort themselves with widely accepted but utterly nonsensical views of history, and for these people I say: Don't read the book. If you're one of the people who actually thinks the Civil War was about slavery, or that Thomas Jefferson was a racist, you're not going to enjoy this book. You already have your preconceived notions of how history took place and no amount of FACT is going to change your mind. For anyone who actually cares about history unfolded, read this book.
Rating:  Summary: Where are the reviews? One star too many Review: I find it intersting that the only "review" listed under editorial reviews is the one off the books jacket. How nice for Miss Coulter that she can review herself and be assured of a glowing assessment. However, simply calling oneself an intellectual and stating that anyone who believes otherwise is a traitor, doesn't make it so. Miss Coulter is living in a world of fantasy where she makes up the facts and by doing so makes them real. Her type of rhetoric is what divides this country, making it near impossible to move forward on any issue, regardless of one's relative "conservativeness." The author so polarizes the citizenery with her over-ripe rhetoric, that she puts everyone in an either or catagory; either you agree with her or you're a traitor. If anything, this kind of idealogically circular thinking is what is truly traitorous. Hello fascism, goodbye democracy. Dissent is verbooten!
Rating:  Summary: Smoking! Review: Ann just repeatedly exposes the left, acadamia, media, politicos and all other useful ... better than anyone else. All of her information is documented, sourced, and used completely in context. This drives the left nuts, since they cannot refute the facts in any legitimate way whatsoever. They can only attack Ann using thier usual tactics of screaming "Nazi", "racist", or "VRWC". They'll call this a book of lies, yet, if you've ever read Ann, she sources everything. Another brilliant expose of the anti-american left. I've always believed McCarthy was a great American patriot, this proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
