Summary: ms. coulter and revisionist history, redux
Review: more outright distortions of facts, more choppy quotes, and more gradeschool namecalling-classic coulter! makes a joke of political discourse, much as her left-wing counterpart michael moore. half-baked platitudes aplenty! ah, to read a book like this is to blindside all common sense and adhere to a political party as though it were the mouthpiece of god.

ms. coulter lives in a bizarro fantasy world where any form of disagreement is "treasonous." oddly enough, i'm thinking this is the book she should have titled "slander."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Required reading for real americans
Review: Treason is as informative as it is hilarious. Ann Coulter's sarcasm will have you laughing throughout the entire read, unless you're a red diaper gasbag liberal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I couldnt put this book down. Ive never read someone so funny and original at the same time. Notice how all the 1 star reviews especially the ones that mention Mccarthy are 1 or 2 lines long. Not one critic can meet the challenge of naming someone whose life Joe Mccarthy ruined. Which is what the book was about.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Treason is RIGHT
Review: Ann is a poopy-head! Her facts are correct, her presumptions are accurate, her conjecture is sound. But she is a poopy-head! Na, na, na, pooopy-head!

BTW: Why doesn't the Talking Points Memo allow feedback? Every other blog in the universe offers a "comments" section, but not that one. Why is that?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good facts, but not a history lesson
Review: 'Treason' contains some very good facts, especially dealing with the McCarthy hearings, the Rosenbergs, and other Cold War events. However, do not look at this book as a being a history lesson. Very relevant facts concerning liberals AND conservatives are not included when dealing with these historical events. All in all, if you liked Coulter's previous work, or either of Bill O'Reilly's books, this one ranks right up there. However, if you are a student of history and not a student of partisan politics, look elsewhere.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I smell a whiff of facism in the air...
Review: If this book shows us anything - its that the true agenda of the right wing in this country has become so extremist that the next logical step for their political agenda is facism. Let me remind everyone that this is a DEMOCRACY - or suppose to be, anyways. Democracy means being able to think critically, speak without fear of being labelled un-patriotic or treasonous, and maintain individual rights. If it were up to Ann Coulter and those who agree with her, we should lose these values of democracy tomorrow. If it were up to them, political opposition parties would be banned in America, and we would on our way towards a totalitarian state.

This is NOT a debate about liberal vs. conservative, but instead, democracy vs. totalitarian rule. These are truly dangerous times in America, when you consider the kind of influence these extremists have right now in our media and government. Wake up, America, before its too late.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Coulter Bigot, and unapologetic for it
Review: It's pretty hard to take any book that deals so sanctimoniously with McCarthy (calls him a "poet" at some point), defending him and his activities at every turn. The true Joe McCarthy, drunken paranoid hick that he was, is never revealed.

It is also hard to take any book seriously that has statements that refer to the Japanese army as "savage Oriental beasts." ...

And that contains lines such as: "The principal difference between fifth columnists and the cold war versus the war on terrorism is that you could sit next to a communist in a subway without asphyxiating," thereby, of course, implying that Middle Easterners stink. Or perhaps she was refering to the odor coming off of homegrown terrorists like Timmy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph.

I'm not surprised that the book is ranked so high on Amazon (#2 as of posting), or that it garners 3 star rating. Coulter, like the George W. administration, continually plays to the racism still present in large segments of white America. This book will resonate well with those pathetics who already think like her, people to whom all Arabs are just camel jockeys anyways (with no distinction between Muslims, non-Muslims, Iraqi, Saudi, Iranian).

The rest of us who are a bit more evolved are simply disgusted by this book, written by someone that barely deserves the title of human.

It's quite sad, really. Right wing revolutions never last ... there's a reason why progressives are called Progressives. You just cannot stop things like Blacks getting educated alongside Whites, interracial marriages, equal opportunities for women and minorities, women's rights to their bodies, homosexuals' rights to equal treatment, etc. The right has short-lived triumphs, and then loses BIG ... every time. Coulter knows it ... O'Reily, Hannity, Savage, Limbaugh ... they all know it. And they hate the inevitability of it.

But they will lose. :)

Summary: Rules of Evidence: Proven Again
Review: The Rules of Court for almost every court in the US below the Appellate level, include Rules of Evidence that form civil actions. Most of these Rules are a means to guide the quest for truth.

One of the Rules of Evidence is that a showing of Habit or continued behavior and 'overiding routine of action' is sufficient to prove an accused's behavior in a given instance of civil contention. So if one claimed that another person did an act which damaged the first person and the other person can be shown to have habitually performed the act; the Rules allow the demonstration of past acts to prove the contention in favor of the complainant.

Where the criminal burden of proof is 'beyond doubt' ; the civil burden is simply a 'preponderance of evidence' which can include the showing of habitual acts by a defendant.

What Ann Coulter has done in Treason is to follow these rules in the presentation of facts. She has proved her thesis by showing habits of behavior by an entire group of people whom she identifies by name, date and action. Treason defines a pattern of behavior, documents the details of each aspect of that repeated syndrome, and concludes that Socials/Democrats are often today, as they have been for many years; traitors to the US.

Since she has already defined exactly each phrase, each lander and each lie that will be used against her for writing Treason in her previous book Slander; one may simply listen to the various liberal socialist persons' response. By each of their name calling, accusations and rants you realize exactly how fully, to what degree, they are anti-American.

No one on the Left will engage Ann Coulter in substantive discourse any more than they will Rush, Sean, or other conservatives. What is now proved without recourse or recovery is the depth of depravity to which these people have actually descended. Treason is the beginning of the final years of the socialist/marxist movement since it articulates acts against the nation that must have been kept out of common knowledge in order for those who performed them to be allowed public tolerance. Now that the facts are again within common conversation, liberals have no recourse and will be met with indulgent laughter at every turn.

Ann Coulter penned the singularly best line in the '00 Florida S.C. Fiasco when she remarked about the reasons for those various justice's hearing deterioration, and in Treason she continues her reign.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truthful account of history's untruths
Review: I just finished the book. When I started, I thought it was a right-wing diatribe and almost stopped reading it, but as I explored it more, I realized that Ms. Coulter put together an astounding argument in favor of her views.

Funny, she uses some of the same techniques that left-wingers have used for years to villify and condemn the right. And you know what? She succeeds!

Each of her points is articularly and entertainingly brought to bear. She uses historical facts, not liberal propaganda, to expose the lies that contemporary history has perputuated and tells the truth about the dangerous and treasonous flirtation liberals have with their anti-american bent.

As a footnote, I'm amused at all the one-sentence one-star reviews given by liberals who can't stand it when someone plays by their rules. My guess is that this is a poorly-organized attempt by some hopelessly dilluded liberals to get readers to not buy this book. Just a hint, people don't look at the reviews to decide which books NOT to read.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ANN THE RIGHT TO SLANDER
Review: Ann Coulter has driven the national discourse to a new low. No longer content to merely smear liberals and the media with sweeping generalizations and fraudulent evidence, she has now upped the ante, accusing the entire Democratic Party as well as liberals and leftists nationwide of treason, a crime of disloyalty against the United States. But, as in her syndicated columns (many of which are adapted in the book) Coulter's case relies in large part on irrational rhetoric and pervasive factual errors and deceptions. Regardless of your opinions about Democrats, liberals or the left, her work should not be taken at face value.
