Rating:  Summary: Again? Review: All of her books are exactly the same, she should have written just one book on how she thinks liberals are wrong then she should've been done with it. Someone should tell her that there are other things to write about.
Rating:  Summary: A must buy! Review: Great book! I couldn't put it down.
Rating:  Summary: Ann Coulter an American Hero Review: Ann is a classic American hero. Unashamed to call a spade a spade. Ann knows how to tell the truth and it motivates you to spread the word. America is being traded away by some people who have no regard for truth . Traitors like the Clintons have delivered to the American People NO TRUTH and have experienced NO CONSEQUENCES. This IS AMERICAS wake up call! Wake America! Thank you ANN!
Rating:  Summary: Open-minded liberals and conservatives will be fascinated Review: Reading through the negative reviews of the book posted here, I found a litany of platitudes and lies criticizing Ms. Coulter and the book. It is sadly obvious that some of the people posting these reviews did not read the book. Whatever your politics may be, it is undeniable that "Treason" is marvelously footnoted, contrary to a prior claim. Ms. Coulter should be awarded the Medal of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize for her concise and precise effort to correct the record on Senator McCarthy--indeed, that portion of the book should (but won't) be required reading in every high school in America. One person here ignorantly referred to Ms. Coulter as an inch-deep T.V. talking head attempting a transition to print media. It's just the opposite--she has for quite a long time written a weekly opinion column, wrote two books previous to this, and "back in the day" was the editor of the Michigan Law Review. (She is also coming out with her own weblog, "Coultergeist".) Suffice it to say, her credentials as a wordsmith are more than adequate. The negative reviewers would also have you believe the book comprises unsupported, malevolent ad hominem attacks on liberals. In fact, the simple genius of the book is in exposing what people say and do and then nuking what they say or do in light of the facts. Yet another reviewer is excited about a forthcoming book by Al Franken that features Ms. Coulter on the cover. Unsurprising, considering that the sales of Mr. Franken's first book were entirely due to using Rush Limbaugh's name in the title.
Rating:  Summary: Courage To Baffle The Punditocracy Review: Ann Coulter's book Treason, the most important political book in the past half-century, is now available. It should be required reading for every American. Yes, I'm perfectly serious. Treason addresses the extraordinary contrast the Left's approach to national security makes with that of the Right. The first hundred twenty pages of the book are given to a shattering re-examination of the life and work of the most maligned figure in modern American politics: Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. As was Slander, it's meticulously footnoted -- and all the references appear to check out perfectly. There are folks who dislike Coulter's take-no-prisoners style. "Of tastes there is nothing written," say the sages. There are folks who think no one would pay her any attention if she weren't a tall, beautiful blonde. Nearly all of these are her ideological adversaries. There are folks who think her willingness to say precisely what she thinks is somehow shameful, a detriment to the American political dialogue. These persons, who've dispensed a lot of slander at conservatives in their day, have a funny idea of the dictates of gentility. Ann Coulter has been called virtually every vicious name in the book for her opinions and her unabashed presentations thereof. I don't agree with all of her positions, but I admire her tremendously for her courage. When one makes one's living by the written word, to express oneself as she's done requires quite a lot of courage. As has been pointed out by many observers of the punditry scene, including Coulter herself, it's not conservative authors who rake in the big bucks for their work -- despite their enormous differential popularity among persons who buy nonfiction books. Name one person in public life these past fifty years who's had a kind word for Joe McCarthy. With the aid of the recently declassified Venona Project intercepts of Soviet cable transmissions, Coulter constructs an airtight case that McCarthy was dead accurate, which would make him the preeminent defender of the United States since the conclusion of World War II. She never flinches from this stance. She exposes a thousand libels and deliberate distortions of the record, perpetrated by the Democratic Party and its annex in the media, in the attempt to undermine McCarthy's case. She labels those who've rewritten history to defame the Senator in the years since his hearings as traitors -- a label they richly deserve. With Communism essentially defeated, defending the foremost crusader against Communist infiltration of the United States government, dead for almost a half-century, might seem like an unnecessary undertaking. Unnecessary or not, it is simple justice -- and for seeing to it, Ann Coulter deserves far more credit for her forthrightness, her clarity, and her courage than she's likely to get.
Rating:  Summary: Pictures are the best part Review: For those of you who have been waiting to see Ann in the buff, here's your chance. For those interested in text, forget it. It's an illiterate rehash of other, better neocon writers.
Rating:  Summary: No Shame Review: Coulter has written another book in which she demonstrates her determination and resolve to never let facts get in the way of a good argument.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful... Review: piece of kindling this will make come winter. More hysterical ranting aimed to reinforce the patterned beliefs of dittoheads. Lacks a large enough number of spurious footnotes...
Rating:  Summary: Insane, but funny. Review: This woman is the Kim Jong Il of American publishing. She will say absolutely anything to get attention, and it's obviously working. Insanity is lucrative these days. I expect her next heavily (if inaccurately) footnoted work will be an enthusiastic defense of Joseph Goebbels. "He wasn't such a bad guy!" The woman certainly knows how to channel a raving lunatic. Bonus star for being so funny.
Rating:  Summary: Facts are Facts Review: The critics shout that the research is flawed, but give no proof of mistakes they claim are evident. I don't believe some of them have even actually read the book. It is a good read and the facts are well researched. If you know the information is in error, give us the real facts backed up with good research. Don't just whine about things that you don't like to hear.
