Summary: It is shameful
Review: Ann should be ashamed of herself for writing such a biased book. If you do not agree this is a biased book, you should do a little statistics of the stars Ann has received from each review. You will find:

About 50% of the reviews give her 5 stars.
About the other half give her 1 star.

How divided is this?

By the way, Ann has the right to say about whatever she likes to say.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What really happened during McCarthy's time
Review: I found this book to be a wealth of knowledge of historical perspectives that I had never heard in school, certainly not the liberal university I attended. If you want to learn about what REALLY happened to Joe McCarthy, what he himself went through, and the validation of his work this is a good book for you.

Ann writes with a high degree of intellectualism, yet her style is enjoyably witty.

Basing on the simple merits of the book it is a valuable addition to any library of those who really seek the truth and seek to understand how society is teetering toward entropy as it is now. I read the whole book, I did not speed read it, flip through it, but I studied it. It is well documented, everything is backed up, and it is an important sociological commentary.

Some of the last two paragraphs of the book are the most important and critical to understanding just why our Country is falling under extreme liberal and anarchic assault, as they state what the fundamental flaw is concerning liberty, our constitution, and the way it was supposed to work.

Additionally, she has a great sense of humor that I find not only refreshing but rewarding.

Liberals, nihilists, anarchists, or socialist apparatchiks will not like this book. It sheds light down on their dark little holes that they dwell in and effectively blunts many of their arguments.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! Opened my eyes!!
Review: This book has completely changed my view of the media and how it distorts history. Ann Coulter backs up her statements with pages of bibliographies. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Liberal Treachery Exposed!
Review: In the follow up to her sensational best seller Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right best selling author Ann Coulter exposes the liberals in this country for what they are... America bashing traitors who will do anything and say anything to take control of America and destroy our freedoms.

Using her dry wit and sharp tongue, Coulter shows how the liberals always side AGAINST America and what is best for this nation (it's our fault Osama attacked us, we deserved it), how they distort history (Joe McCarthy was right!) and how they sided with the Soviet Union during the cold war (Jimmy Carter would have lowered the flag and raised the Soviet one if he could have).

Coulter shows how even now the communist/liberal apology machine (aka the New York Times) doubts the guilt of Alger Hiss nd the Rosenbergs even though the Venona Project (now declassified secret American intelligence documents)proves they were in fact guilty. She shows how to this day the Democrat Left uses the term McCarthyism to assasinate the character of it's detractors even though McCarthy was right!

Although the book does get a little long in the tooth mid way through, it is still a darn good read and one which is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the truth about the American Left.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Maybe too truthful for some.
Review: Ann Coulter is truly a gift. The liberals are right to hate her, she tells it like it is, with honesty, and humor. Facts speak for themselves. It is not free speach, it is not patrotism, when you shelter and defend those that would destroy our way of life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book for anyone seeking the truth about Liberalism.
Review: Coulter's amazingly well written and researched book is filled with nothing but fact after fact about McCarthyism (and how he was right about everyone he accused of being a spy. They really were spies and Coulter can prove it), and how Liberal failures led to the expansion of the Soviet Union during nearly every Democratic presidency (on the other hand, the Soviet Union did not expand at all during Republican presidencies, and in fact, collapsed due to Ronald Reagan's policies of one-upism on building up our nuclear arsenal. He drove them to ruin when they attempted to keep up with us). I'm sure the liberals who scour this sight to knock down every review praising the book will do the same to mine, but trust me...if you're looking for an enlightening book about the little dark secrets of liberalism, this is it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Vomitous and Irrational
Review: Is this for real? Is Joseph McCarthy's reputation still up for grabs?

I'm stunned by the number of reviewers who, like Saul on the road to Damascus, claim to have had their eyes opened by this book. Gee, I wonder why you never heard Coulter's "truth" about McCarthy before? Maybe b/c the conventional wisdom that McCarthy was a hateful, sick man really is a fair characterization. And that the witchhunts were one of the lowest points in the history of a democracy. ...

Anyway, treason's a big word, with a precise definition. And I guess your definition of "treason" depends upon your definition of "patriotism." To me (and, w/ little modesty, I'd like to think, to the Founding Fathers as well) the ability to disagree is one of the most fundamental freedoms. Open, public, and partisan debate is also a prerequisite for a working democracy. And the right to speak out w/o fear of reprisal is what distinguishes the United States from other less tolerant nations---regimes w/ which we frequently and recently find ourselves at odds. Exercising the freedom to dissent is, therefore, one of the most patriotic, "American" things we can do.

But rights must be exercised to be meaningful. When dissenters are labeled "traitors" merely by virtue of their disagreement, we all lose. Reasoned discourse and healthy partisan debate appear---in the early 21st-century, anyway---to be, at best, passe and, at worst, unAmerican. The rabid, gleeful ignorance of many of the comments on this book site is truly terrifying; w/ the word "American" most appropriately preceded by the adjective "ugly." Hopefully, reader response isn't indicative of national sentiment: that we're not so gung-ho (or paranoid) as to chuck our collective critical capacities out the window just b/c we saw something---like Coulter's book---in print. But history is replete w/ examples of propaganda effectively masquerading as analysis---"Mein Kampf," as just one example.

When discussing the marketplace of ideas and the essential role it plays in safeguarding democratic (small "d") values, I can't imagine Coulter's book is what Oliver Wendell Holmes had in mind; Holmes, if he were alive today, would have trouble stifling his nausea. While Coulter's "revisionist history," to borrow a phrase, doesn't engender the same level of moral outrage as arguing that the Third Reich's final solution was never put into play, it does leave a bad taste in your mouth. In many ways, though, Coulter uses the same sophist reasoning.

The only fair, though implicit, criticism in Coulter's book is that the American left, through its paucity of vision and overwillingness to slide toward the center of the political aisle, has slit its own political throat. The point was made---succinctly---in a recent New Yorker article:

"Even when liberals have strong beliefs, they act as if they were not quite sure they actually agree w/ them. They are congenitally more comfortable humming the theme of 'All Things Considered' than the theme of 'Crossfire.'"

As for me, I'm on the far left of the spectrum, but I'm deeply disappointed by the left's failure to mount an organized and coherent response to right-wing pit-bulls like Coulter. We live under an increasingly anti-intellectual, near illiterate regime that seeks to punish, and not just w/ public scorn, anyone not proudly waving his or her jingo high when the tanks roll in. It seems that the American left has abandoned America to the worst traits in its national character. And perhaps that's what liberals are truly guilty of.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Warning: Not for the Faint of Hart
Review: A truely excellent editorial book. Her writing style is pithy and punchy. Her editorials cut directly to many of the problems inherant in the Democratic party today.

This book is unfortunately not for the faint of heart. She often comes across as cold, mean spirited, and angry. A primary concern is that many of those needing to read this book will avoid it based on its very nature.

However, I believe that many of those inclined to the left who read this book will come away concluding that the Democrats have indeed moved too far to the left and that a major overhall is necessary.

In the interest of wining back Congress and the Presidency, the Democrat leadership is ignoring key facts which will determine electability. These include; that over 50% of the American public owns stock, that the many americans are increasingly concerned about national security, disenchantment with an ever expanding size of government, and that many more still believe that catering to the far left will only assure victory within states within the rust belt, and along the two coasts.

For further insight into the decline of the democrats as a national party I highly recommend Zell Miller's book a National party No more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Treason:Liberal Treachery from the cold war to the war on te
Review: A complete work of the History of the United States and more! For those that do not have a good background in The History of America.
I got more than I bargainesd for!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mind-Boggling
Review: First, allow me to praise Coulter for her thorough investigation of liberal treachery since WWII. NEVER before had I even HEARD of the Venona Project, which apparently proved that McCarthy was RIGHT about Soviets in the Government. And somebody around here thinks Conservatives are rewriting history???

Please.

I've heard in school all my life that McCarthy was a bigot, scaremonger, and a liar. Well, i guess it might SCREW up that theory to know that McCarthy only accused people of being communist who, um...WERE communist!!! That's not bigotry, that's bravery people.

But we never heard about the Venona Project, or that all those wonderful, unfairly accused Americans were SOVIETS trying to TAKE OVER OUR COUNTRY!!!!

Who wants to rewrite history?

Good Job Ann. Keep up the good work.
