Summary: stupid book
Review: If you want to get mad at George Bush, read this book. It scares me that people would actually buy this. I read it at the library just out of curiousity. It scared me so much that I'm now planning to volunteer for the Democratic campaigns next year, and will donate money to them for the first time ever.

Summary: "Well researched"
Review: I just read through the first two pages of this 'research' and just stopped. Whereas most pieces of research will give specific credit to specific people for making specific comments, Coutler goes out on a limb to say a 'Democratic Senator' made supportive statements about Osama Bin Laden creating day-care centers.Obviously, she's preaching to a choir of folks who are on the same track as her. There's nothing wrong with white-picket fences, or pink ones for that matter, however, I don't quite get where you can come off as saying this is 'well researched'. Ok... blame it on the liberal professor who down-graded you in history class for not being specific about your sources. Geez. The point is that the Senator is not 'supporting' Osama Bin Laden but that Bin Laden is popular amongst people in disenfranchised countries. I don't support Osama Bin Laden , but for speaking a truth about third world countries, Coulter puts liberals in a bucket saying that Liberals = (Bin Laden + 3rd world opinion).
This is treasonous? Taking statements out of context is more like it.

Summary: Ann
Review: Ann is one of the funniest and most thoughtful
Women on the planet today.... If you've ever had to pick yourself back up
And get in the fight
Ever had to stand alone because
You believed in something right If you've ever had to work all day long
And just wanted to not be taxed to death
If you've ever listened to some slant rant
That went on and on without taking a breath If you've ever served in the military
And loved your country and what she stands for
If you've ever figured out the name of the game
Is Win when you have to take it to war If you've ever used logic and reason
Facts and truth when facing down lies
Only backed by the dance of arrogance
And a snoddy attitude that easily rolls its eyes ****
**** When you don't want to be a girlie boy
For some man hating woman gone astray
Who doesn't really have a comfort zone
Unless you do everything her way If you believe in the 2nd Ammendment
And even dare I say like to shoot guns
If you take a pic-nic basket with you
A tin can or two and make it a day of fun Ann is one of the funniest and most thoughtful
Women on the planet today.... If you have come to realize moral equivolancy
Is just advocating to hang it all on maybe
And this sort of tactic is usually done by those
Who are deflecting misdirecting type crybabies If you can look up at the stars at night
And know that all light can't be seen
Some of it has to be lived
In order to know what it means Neils

Summary: Coulter's TREASON: The Medium is Not the Message
Review: When I first read Ann Coulter's TREASON, I was already in agreement with the key points of her theory: namely, the left wing liberal democratic party had for decades been the ruination of this country. I had already read her earlier work, SLANDER, in which she had argued that the left has long maligned those concepts that the right cherishes: guns, anti-abortion, and a hawkish national security. What I got out of her TREASON was what should have been a clear message of conservatism was instead garbled by an excessive sarcasm to the extent that many a reader would be more likely to examine the messenger rather than the message. Coulter insists on the following: Alger Hiss was a communist; the NEW YORK TIMES would defend relentlessly to the death the right of any communist to hold high political office; Joe McCarthy was a true American who sought only to warn America of its 'hidden' communists; every democratic President since FDR has been hailed as the reason for the collapse of the Soviet state; Reagan deserves none of the credit for that collapse; the liberal left desires nothing more than to embrace all things anti-American (especially the right not to defend our borders) and carp against traditional World World II virtues as flag waving and buying liberty bonds; and noting that the loudest critics of President Bush are celebrity actors who are fond of traveling to the homelands of despots and happily praise the life styles of those who live under their heavy-handed rule. Most conservative Americans would agree to most of the above, as do I, but I like to think that well-reasoned argument and an aversion to mudslinging ought to be enough to make one's point. Bernard Goldberg, who says much the same in BIAS and ARROGANCE, establishes a solid crest of logic is his dispassionate dissection of how the left-dominated media distorts the news. By the time, I reached Coulter's conclusion that "The inevitable logic of the liberal position is to be for treason," I had already been convinced before I even opened her book. I simply could not be objective enough to guarantee that a non-believer would have reached a similar conclusion.

Summary: Controversial and credible
Review: I haven't read a single negative review that refuted the premise of Anne Coulter's book as much as they have attacked her personal credibilty. I found her documentation to be fairly substantial. Yes, this is a partisan treatise that occassionally lapses into hyperbole but nevertheless the argument she makes is based on the historical record. Trying to rehablitate Joe McCarthys reputation is a challenge even for someone as bright as Anne Coulter. This is thought provoking book and that may be lost in the current climate of dueling talking head books.

Summary: Well-Researched, Accurate, and Unrefutable
Review: Ann Coulter has written yet another well-researched, accurate, and unrefutable account of today's and the past's liberals. Ann Coulter is very willing to engange the reader in an accurate debate regarding how liberals have acted in past administrations, from FDR to the Bush administration's war against terror. What is quite surprising is that this book is considered controversial. Rather than debating the issues presented in the book, many liberal pundits were quick to make stereotypical remarks about Ann Coulter's hair color than they were about making comments about her arguments. For instance, considering the numerous communist sympathizers in past Democratic administrations, you would think Ann Coulter's commentary would at least allow for an admission of fault. If anything, Ann Coulter's dialogue should be seen as a way of transforming the liberals and the Democratic Party. Rather than being a party that hates American values, it should be one that embodies them and tries to live up to them. Yet, our current Democratic Party, as Ann Coulter mentions, allows liberal extremists such as Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Rep. Maxime Waters, Rep. Diane Watson, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sen. Hillary Clinton to run the party. Yet, if liberals were wise, they would listen to Ann Coulter's remarks and made policy changes so that they would be rooting for America's side rather than those of our enemies, including France. Today Ann Coulter's remarks are just as accurate as when she wrote about the communists. Today, the Left is known for obstructing the war against terror, complaining about every minute detail that does not go their way, and criticizing the war against Iraq. And the Democratic Party's nominee, at the present time, appears to be Howard Dean from the ultraliberal state of Vermont. This is a disaster, and any Democrat intending to save their party ought to listen to Ann Coulter rather than belittle her for her common sense. Michael Gordon

Summary: Is there something wrong with this woman??
Review: I have to be honest I only got through half of this book before I had to put it down. It is so full of half truths, mis-direction and just out there lies that you start to understand why there is such a division in this country. You have the conservatives who actually believe this Reich-Wing [stuff] (to borrow from another reviewers words)without anyone of them bothering to check out whether or not what she says is true and using it as justification to hate those who (non-conservatives) don't agree with them. This is just so sad. But the larger question is: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN? She doesn't even try to tell the truth. She takes two or three completely different facts(?) that have nothing to do with each other and makes them fit and pass them off as truth when in fact there is no way 99% of what she says can stand up under actual fact checking and scrutiny. This woman needs to be taken off the street before she hurts herself. There should be a law that what is passed off as truth in books such as this must be proven before a panel of judges or in the case of this woman; doctors.Buy this only if reading it will make you feel justified in hating those who disagree with you without any truth or facts to back up those feelings.

Summary: Should be in fiction section
Review: As an antidote for this toxic book, I would suggest reading Al Franken's book 'Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them: A Fiar and Balanced Look at the Right'. Yes I am very proudly a LIBERAL, but let's not get political. Please, please, try to substantiate some of her claims. I was unable to. Al's book, by the way, is not only informative, it's also funny!

Summary: Interesting, If a Little over the top
Review: I find it interesting that a good many of what are purported to be reviews of this book, are little more than angry slams. I think many didn't even read the book. I did. The strong points are the thorough documentation allowing any and all to follow up for more detailed information if they like. I plan to do that in a couple of cases such as the Verona Project. I'd like to know more. It so happens I was living in Germany at the time this information was made public and I missed it. You don't get much news coverage in Germany as the International Herald Tribune and MSNBC are two of the few outlets available to English speakers. From that standpoint and for the extensive compilation of leftist quotes, this book was of interest to me. I agree with some of the reviewers that the personal remarks she interjects can be over the top. Half way through the book I found them to be distracting from the quotes and facts I was trying to follow. Wait until you get to the chapter on Hollywood celebs! In summary, it's an interesting read. All should be open minded enough to read it. You can't find that much stuff with that many citations and not have a majority of it be factual. Now, I have to see how Al Franken measures up.

Summary: Guilty of Treason
Review: Yes. All liberals are guilty of treason, which is by the way a capital offense. Once we start prosecuting these cases, this will present a logistical nightmare...so many executions. Perhaps we could learn something from the Germans. It seems they had a system for that sort of thing.
