Rating:  Summary: Fiction (inarticulate fiction at that) Review: When the right has inarticulate bimbos such as Coulter, do they really need enemies?Coulter is like a two-year-old. She cries and whines about how everything is Clinton's fault. Sorry, Coult, but Clinton's not in charge anymore. 9/11 happened on Bush's watch. Bush lead us into the quagmire of Iraq. Bush is president over the largest national debt every, as well as the highest unemployement since his father. She's ugly too. Will someone give that woman a sandwich?
Rating:  Summary: Poorly written Review: This book has been laughed at by the serious literary critics, and I can see why. It's poorly written, poorly researched and just plain wrong on almost every page. Joe McCarthy a hero? Ha ha! Writing stuff like that just to titilate people only makes Coulter look foolish.
Rating:  Summary: Making A Name for Herself Review: ZERO stars. The real purpose of this factually inaccurate book is, of course, to "make a name" for the author by creating controversy. (She certainly does that in her erroneously researched book.) The fact that she is known as a "conservative pundit" should give any reader a heads-up about what they are going to be exposed to in her writing. (Sad.) If Joe McCarthy is your hero, or if you want to make a fame-seeking conservative more successful, then you'll certainly enjoy this book. (Otherwise, save your money and your time.)
Rating:  Summary: Leftists are apoplectic - now that the truth is out. Review: What does Coulter say that is getting the Leftists in a hysterical uproar? Let's remember the facts of history. Communism was Stalinism during McCarthy's tenure in the early 50's. Communists were supporter of a mass murdered as evil as Hitler. During the preceding years, Communism had swallowed Eastern Europe and China, acquired nuclear bombs with the help of American Communist spies, and found widespread support among Western intellectuals. What did McCarthy do? He, and others, rallied the country to the threat. He demanded the removal of security risks from our Army, State Department and Intelligence communities. While Communists were slaughtering and enslaving millions, McCarthy's actions forced some Communists and suspected Communists to get jobs in the private sector (oh the horror). Is this comparable? Yes, if you're a Leftist. After the fall of the Soviet Union and the release of the Vernona tapes, we find that McCarthy was right - there were Communist spies in the US government. Why is the Left still portraying Stalinists as innocent victims and McCarthy as a villain? Read Coulter's book. ... How many times have we heard about Senator McCarthy's "witch-hunt" in the House Of Un-American Activities (if you can't figure out the lie from reading that sentence, read Coulter's book)? How about the innocent victims of McCarthy's "inquisition"? All staged for and by the Leftist press? Read Coulter's book. Didn't the Republicans do McCarthy in? For the full picture and context - read Coulter's book. Does she have errors in her book? Who doesn't? But compare her mistakes to those she exposes - decide for yourself, which are more serious. The only irritation with the book is the vocabulary - you may want to keep a dictionary at your side. She has an amusing habit of using words of Biblical origin (ex. jeremiad) instead of the Latin or Greek rooted counterparts. ... Coulter points the finger ... and says there is blood on the hands of those who supported Stalin. ... Coulter's "Treason" delivers what its title implies. Sure, only a few actually committed the crime of treason. However, when it comes to intellectual and moral treason, she is dead on...
Rating:  Summary: Good schtick, Ann! Review: Ann Coulter has built an outstanding career for herself. Make up lies about the left wing. The more outrageous the better. Neocons will buy it just to project their hate. Upon reading this book, I was going to give it 2 stars as a clever parody of the right wing wife-beater segment of society. But works like this are dangerous, as the Angry White Men who are the target audience for this "book" believe it and may use it to justify violence against their perceived "enemies". What is next for Ann? I hear she's working on her next book "The Misunderstood Adolf Hitler- How Treasonous Liberals Destroyed the Legacy of a Great Patriot". Can't wait.
Rating:  Summary: I suspected it all along but was surprised anyway Review: I always suspected treachery in high places but not to this extent! The damage the democratic presidents and their accomplices have done to this country and the world is almost beyond belief! I praise Joe McCarthy for his pursuit of the truth and am sad the left has succeeded in telling his story in their favor. I praise Ann Coulter for this in depth historical study to set the record straight! One will never read or hear of it much anywhere else I think.
Rating:  Summary: Awful Wretched Skank Review: What an awful wretched skank this "woman" is. You don't even need to be a Liberal to hate her--just a woman, she doesn't think they deserve the right to vote. Liberal media bias? Where? Fox News? CNN (people call them LEFT? Nuts, shows how much the Right really knows about the Left), MSNBC? Colmes and Matthews are hardly liberal, in fact, Colmes is a Republican. Sorry, but there is no Liberal media, other than NPR, I suppose. Horrible, awful book. Filled with as much truth as the dossier on Iraq. PS: Hannity (of Fox News fame) thinks she's insane--and people still think she's right? Nuts.
Rating:  Summary: Coulter does it again! Review: After reading Slander and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, I could not wait for this book to come out. I preordered it and read it in two days. I was absolutely astonished. Coulter's latest book is a clear, logical analysis of the left's anti-American behavior during the past 50 years. (I have to admit that I thought Slander was a better book, simply because that's what really put her on the map, but this book is at the same level in terms of style and persuasiveness.) To get one thing clear, Coulter does not blame all liberals of treason -- she blames mostly the left elite. She is not talking about the little old lady next door who always votes for Democrats. (I picked this up from various interviews she did promoting the book.) Coulter is right on the money in her analysis of the McCarthy episode. She exposes the left's ambiguity and adamant denial of the truth McCarthy was trying to unveil. The left tried to make McCarthy seem like a complete bigot who destroyed thousands of lives (they have yet to name one individual affected by McCarthy). To the left, it was okay to let communists work within our government and collect money from the federal payroll. But when someone tries to point it out, they are guilty of infringing upon civil liberties. I don't recall anybody being praised for spying on their government and being paid to do so by our enemy. We caught Robert Hansen, so why couldn't we point out others decades before the Hansen incident? With Vietnam, she hits the head on the nail. The Pentagon Papers said LBJ was losing the war, so the left went into a tizzy and tried to make us lose. They lost hope in our leadership and pretty much gave up on America once and for all. Vietnam was the straw that broke the left's back; they lost all admiration for our government, values, and commitments. They did nothing to help America win that war. And now they use it as an excuse to not go to war ever again. If LBJ had the guts to actually make a valid effort to win in Vietnam, our perception of war in general wouldn't be so cynical and opposition to our current conflict in Iraq wouldn't have been so great. Coulter writes a couple of chapters on how Reagan won the Cold War. I have to admit I got tired of reading "Reagan won the Cold War" every other line, but she's right. If Reagan didn't win the Cold War, who did? Or were the United States and the USSR both losers? And she exposes the left's deep hatred for the Gipper too. SDI, Rekjavik, and Iran-Contra all sounded the alarms in the liberal community. And fortunately, they were all wrong on those issues, too. Conservatives need to stand up and let the truth be known. Coulter did so, and the left is simply aghast. (That would be the idea, wouldn't it?) Don't read the silly reviews at spinsanity.org because they just bring up a bunch of minor points and grievances with the book. They could never call her on the Venona Project, but on a minor detail in an article she wrote a few years ago that they slightly misunderstood. Do yourself and your country a favor this summer and read this book!
Rating:  Summary: There is no zero rating Review: As I read the reviews previously posted, I have to laugh and I have to cry. I laugh because the reviews are as fictional as the book. One reviewer counted 891 sources. Unfortunately, the reviewer failed to check (or apparently care) that many of the citations were works of fiction as well. Just because it is written doesn't mean it is true. Only people who cannot think for themselves accept the word of others as true without checking any of the facts for themselves. Ann Coulter is calculating, loud, rude, and worst of all a malicious liar who has misrepresented, it seems, at least a fact a page. She presents quotes from columnists whose columns appeared in The New York Times, but cites them as being the opinion of the newspaper, not the opinion of the columnist. She refers to a Secretary of State in Truman's administration from a time during which he was not Secretary of State, and attributes comments to Truman that were, in fact, made by someone else. That's just a few...if you read this book, beware. There are many, many more fabrications, errors and just plain lies. Verify before you accept anything she presents. A casual review of her publisher's catalogue would make most readers wince. This is not a publisher interested in ideas or truth, rather in blindly promoting a viscious agenda.
Rating:  Summary: un-patriotic Review: Ann Coulter is about as un-patriotic as you can get. She twists well documented facts to suit her own agenda. Anybody who has lived through the Mcarathy era knows very well what a scary and horrible man he was. But she makes him out to be a saint. This book is 90% fiction and should not be taken as fact. People, please do some research and you will discover how twisted and one-sided this person really is. She is trying to create a one party system and anyone who is not a republican in her opinion is worthless. She truely is one of the most un-patriotic,treasonous people in this country.
