Summary: It's OK to call someone who really was a Commie a Commie
Review: Relying heavily but but not exclusively on the declassified Venona project cables (some of which can be seen on the web), Coulter names names and points out that all the darlings of the left, especially Alger Hiss, who starred in the spy scandals of the forties and fifties were really guilty as sin. These idealists sold out their country in favor of the charming people who brought you the Gulag and the Cultural Revolution.
Anyone with even a shred of intellectual honesty should enjoy this book. Those on the left, lacking in intellectual honesty, will decline the invitation to refute her contentions with facts and will either ignore the book or, in typical liberal fashion, resort to name calling.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A fair and balanced defense of McCarthyism
Review: Oh, yes, this is the kind of America I want to live in! An America where it is treasonous to criticize the president (unless he is a Democrat). Where only people that agree with ME are considered patriots! Where a Committee on Un-American Activities is a good thing! Yes! Let's have one in every community! We'll just let each community vote, anything unpopular will be declared Un-American! We could all turn in our neighbors if they criticized the government! What a great country this would be!

Ann Coulter is not funny, she is scary. If it were up to people like her, America would not be worth defending. I have always considered myself a moderate, able to listen and learn from both sides. I have always believed that most conservatives and liberals are people of good faith, with common goals -- just disagreements about how best to reach them. If Ms. Coulter represents what conservative Americans believe then I have been very wrong and the historical ideals of America are in jeopardy. What about it, conservatives? Does Ms. Coulter speak for you?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Embarrassed for conservatives
Review: There are crazy people on both ends of the political spectrum. That's a given. But, while serious liberals tend to shun the patchouli-scented, hemp-supporting lunatics of their leftist left flank, it seems that conservatives really do embrace their nuts.

There is no better example of this than Ann Coulter.

This is a woman who said that her "only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building" and that Muslim countries should be invaded and forcibly converted to Christianity.

Yet, her worst sin -- because, being obviously crazy she could hardly help these "Tourette's Syndrome" moments -- is that, even when she's obviously lucid enough to try to back up her arguments, she's intellectually dishonest at best. She was proven a liar by numerous writers after her first book and, if I had the time and inclination, I could spend days pointing out the obvious flaws in this most recent one.

But, just look at the first page and you'll see the spinning of fact. If you're an honest thinker (on either side of the political divide), you'll drop the book and soak your hands quickly in alcohol.

Let's give one short example of intellectual dishonesty. Coulter writes: 'Liberals mock Americans who love their country, calling them cowboys, warmongers, religious zealots, and jingoists. By contrast, America's enemies are called "Uncle Joe," "Fidel," "agrarian reformers," and practitioners of a "religion of peace."'

It seems to me, though, that I remember a certain warmongering religious zealot jingoist cowboy named George W. Bush saying that Islam was "a religion of peace." If she thinks Bush is a liberal, then who qualifies as a conservative? Torquemada?

There is also the inherent problem in Coulter's book that she defends Joseph McCarthy throughout, while saying that liberals who question their government are traitors. What, then, was McCarthy? At the basic level of his actions, he was question the direction of his government. Was this treason?

Books like this are timed to come out every so often in order to force the media back onto the conservative side of arguments lest they be labeled liberal. They're especially needed now, when it seems obvious that the Bush Administration misled people and sent Americans to die based on incomplete or trumped up information.

Maybe that's not such a bad thing, since some liberals do tend to get carried away and (in the interest of full disclosure) let me point out one person who said something terrible against our government. He said, "As you hear of this story of high treason, I know that you are saying to yourself well, why doesn't Congress do something about it? It is the result of an emotional hangover and a temporary moral lapse which follows every war."

That, I'll admit is despicable. Why does the writer hate America so much? Why does that liberal think he can... Oh wait. That's McCarthy again.

Never mind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, The Truth
Review: Ann Coulter should have used the term "Zionist Jews" to replace "Liberals" throughout the book. It would have been more accurate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At Last No Political Speak
Review: Ann Coulter is articulate and smart and simply uncovers the truth. She is wonderful at exposing the historical lies and the politically correct rhetoric, which has permeated our country by the liberals. At last those of us who believe in The United States of America have a voice.

Another "Knock Out" by a truly talented and honest writer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ann Coulter is the Fascist's Whiner In Chief!
Review: I have never seen such a compilation of nonsense. Ann Coulter has outdone herself this time. She shows her true colors of hatred for all who think differently than she does. Her former employers were apparently right to let her go as this should be high on the list for readers right next to Mein Kamf!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Bother
Review: Seldom does an event take place which is such an outrage that the silent majority stands up and demands action. But the silent majority is currently demanding that something be done about Ms. Anne Coulter. I want to share ther with you because Coulter believes that people are pawns to be used and manipulated. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. She dreams of a time when she'll be free to reap a harvest of death. That's the way she's planned it, and that's the way it'll happen -- not may happen, but will happen -- if we don't interfere, if we don't address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Coulter because they saw no other options for change. A person who wants to get ahead should try to understand the long-range consequences of his/her ploys. Coulter has never had that faculty. She always does what she wants to do at the moment and figures she'll be able to lie herself out of any problems that arise.

Anyone who follows today's debates on faddism and, by happenstance, is also familiar with Coulter's mad zingers, is struck by that old truism: If we don't take up the all-encompassing challenge of freedom, justice, equality, and the pursuit of life with full dignity right now, then Coulter's undertakings will soon start to metastasize until they start wars, ruin the environment, invent diseases, and routinely do a hundred other things that kill people. Coulter's policies are loathsome through and through, and everyone with half a brain understands that. If you read Coulter's writings while mentally out of focus, you may get the sense that laws are meant to be broken. But if you read her writings while mentally in focus and weigh each point carefully, it's clear that delusional, unambitious undesirables (like Coulter) are not born -- they are excreted. However unsavory that metaphor may be, Coulter is totally mistaken if she believes that we ought to worship ruthless amnesiacs as folk heroes. Even without making an ethical argument against Stalinism, I can show that an axiom among Coulter's dupes is that Coulter acts in the public interest. Surprised? You shouldn't be, because Coulter's deeds symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion -- extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. On a closing note, I hope that ther review, while incomplete, informal, and having no authority except its own inner strength and conviction, has clearly demonstrated to you that the long-term consequences of Ms. Anne Coulter's opinions are rarely examined, let alone subjected to scientific scrutiny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watch the phoney liberals squirm
Review: ..If you are a truth seeker, "Treason" lays the lies, deceit, and mental and moral corruption bare for the world to see and be revulsed at liberalism once and for all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Home Run!
Review: Any Reviews you read below 3 stars are biased liberals and should be discounted. This is another great book that sets the record straight on how the country has been betyayed by the disingenuous arguments and actions of the left wing. If you liked Ann's book, "Slander" you will love "Treason."

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Absurd
Review: How anyone can defend McCarthyism is beyond belief. This book takes the cake.
