Summary: The liberals are still right
Review: It may well be true that liberals side with the United States' enemies. If this is the case, it is in fact their greatest virtue. In a recent radio interview, George Monbiot, author of *The Age of Consent* claimed that the United States now a threat to everyone, including the other developed nations. Very few other nation-states start wars with such alacrity, and none posess collections of weapons of mass destruction to rival the US. Since the Second World War, the US has shaped other nations to serve its commercial interests by bullying, covert operations, and outright military assault. It deserves to be recognised that it has long since abandoned true advocacy of the Enlightenment ideals of its founding fathers. The contemporary US deserves contempt, and I give it readily. Traitors, I salute you!

Summary: What happened to the middle ground?
Review: Between the insufferable smugness of Hillary's LIVING HISTORY and Ann's attempt to make Joe McCarthy noble (choke), I'm at a loss politically. Where is a young person supposed to turn for reasonable political discussion? I refuse to suffer under any more political correctness from liberals and knee-jerk flag-waving from the right. You're both wrong. Try thinking for yourselves for a change. You've got such style, Ann...You're better than this.

Summary: A hate monger without peer
Review: I wanted to read this to see if I could find any merit in it. I couldn't. If Ann Coulter spewed this nasty, poorly-researched tripe about blacks, women, gays or any social group other than so-called 'liberals' she would be ostracized, dead or in jail. This woman proves the adage that beauty is only skin deep. If you chose to read this, also read "Blinded By The Right" by David Hale to get a saner perspective. I'm sorry, but Coulter is arrogant, childish and riding a wave of shallow, spiteful right-wing social backlash subsquent to 9/11. Every day another news report proves her wrong, yet every day she comes out with another unprovable 'charge' against millions of proud Americans--just like her admitted idol Joe McCarthy. And like McCarthy, Ann Coulter has no shame.

Summary: Should be mandatory reading!
Review: The content of this book contains facts that I had knowledge of, facts that I suspected, and facts NEVER MADE PUBLIC before.
The revelations are very disturbing, and one can see the daily obfuscating by Democrat politicians and the "usual suspect" Liberal papers and columnists. The book is very quick and easy to read.
It should be MANDATORY reading in every High School history and Civics class --IF we are to keep our lives and freedom.

Summary: Can't we all just get along?
Review: Yes, she does have well-documented claims, but the biography itself contains numerous questionable sources. Her views on Vietnam are horrifically and undeniably a waste of ink, and that was what offended me the most. This is at best a piece of political drivle to be cited at election times.

Summary: Prejudice and Pride
Review: My apologies to the trees that were sacrificed to make the paper. How scary that anyone who disagrees with the actions of his/her government can be labeled a traitor. This is brainwashing of the worst kind. What happened to ...'government FOR the people' not government by and for only the right wing. What are Ms Coulter's qualifications that she should be heeded with any sort of seriousness?

Summary: An Amazing Read
Review: A well researched, well documented and thoroughly interesting book. Unfortunately, the majority of the people who have negatively rated this book have not even read it. Whatever side of the issues you are on, it is worth your time to check this book out.

Summary: High Mistress Polemicist Coulter Strikes Again . . .
Review: Ann Coulter brings a ferocity to her attacks that simply can't be matched by any other author. If you are angry about the manifestations of the liberal project on American life, no one can take you through primal scream therapy as effectively as Queen Ann.Ann Coulter's last two books, Slander and Treason aren't original in concept. Others have pointed out the liberal bias in the media (see Bias by Bernard Goldberg for example). Many have tried to make sure the American liberal elite are held to account for regularly supporting America's enemies (see Twilight of the Intellectuals by Hilton Kramer or Useful Idiots by Mona Charen). But while she's doesn't pioneer the theory, she always brings big, nasty weapons to the fight. The result is endlessly entertaining to a certain type of reader. Many high brow conservatives worry in public over the stridency of her attacks, but to do so is to miscomprehend Ann's work. She's not out to be the quiet, respectable voice of a David Broder or a George Will. She's like William Wallace whipping up the fury of an army at the front lines. Her books reach out to the frustrated, "rank and file" conservative by entertaining with powerful rhetoric while arming with endless notes, quotes, and forgotten facts.

Summary: Are you effing serious?
Review: Ann Coulter is completely midtown. And, if you don't know what that means, so are you. ('You,' of course, meaning those constituting this [intellectually challenged] authorial audience, the flipside to the otherness that is the rest of the thinking world). But seriously - liberal, conservative, socialist, fascist, racist, neo-nazi, et al - it doesn't matter: this book is an insult to anyone who considers her/him/itself to be a decently intelligent and discriminating reader, regardless of you particular response to the content. ...

Summary: A Betrayal Indeed -- Of Your Intelligence
Review: While Ms. Coulter's defenders will find here her usual deft jabs, most of the knife-work here is to the back. Trying to redeem McCarthyism as a positive endeavor ignores practically the entire historical record of the 1940s and 1950s -- but it is revealing, in that it shows how today's conservative agenda bypasses defense of substance for defense of character assassination. In her last book Coulter painted that as a liberal trait; perhaps it is. But if solely so, then Coulter must be a liberal.
