Rating:  Summary: Good but not good enough! Review: I found Coulter's book to be really interestingl. The only problem I found is that she tends to label a bit much, without looking enough at her own party. Her case against the Clintons is for the most part correct, but a little over-done. I understand she wants to get her point accross but one could argue that a few wrongdoings from the Bush clan could be labeled as (...) . This book was insightful on what goes on in the congress that the liberal media never tells us. It really makes you wonder by Bill O'Reiley's book "Who's looking out for you?" Anyways, If you want a book with a more right-wing slant check this out. Otherwise I'd reccomend Tammy Bruce instead. She is a little more fair and balanced ( can i say that? LOL).
Rating:  Summary: Certainly "Treason" of the highest degree Review: Ms. Coulter's book is yet another example of shameless demagogues pandering to mass hysteria with an assortment of senseless arguments haphazardly slapped together with a choice bit of foul language to make it an appetizing read for the "common man." Truly, an insult to all of our intellects.A true patriot and a true American concerned with our Nation's political situation would do better to read the Federalist Papers, actual Constitutional law, or otherwise read about America's place in history and the world. I personally suggest Plato's Republic as a warning about how people like Anne Coulter destroy our culture and democracy by debasing politics to a mudslinging contest, followed by a healthy dose of American history to remedy any pessimism that Plato might leave.
Rating:  Summary: Ironic Review: What could be more unpatriotic than to attack a wide swath of your own countrymen as if they're your enemies and to deliberately seek to undermine anyone who does not believe in your radical ideology and agenda? A true patriot places her country's best interests before her own, which is certainly not the case here. I guess that doesn't sell enough books. We all disagree with a lot of what goes on in our country, whether we're on the left, right or in the middle, and we have a civic duty to speak out for what we believe in, but most of us still have the decency to politely disagree with others and to know that deliberate divisiveness can only weaken the fabric of our nation. Coulter, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and their kind are not interested in the kind of healthy debate that keeps our country strong and moving in the right direction, they're only interested in appealing to our worst instincts and setting us against each other for their own selfish gain. It's time this type of attempt to tear down the good will of the American people for cheap political and monetary gain is denounced as its own form of treason. When are we going to begin demanding some basic decency from these people? Is this really the kind of nation you want us to be? Despite what Ann Coulter wants you to believe, your fellow Americans are not your enemies. There are plenty of those in other parts of the world and we have nothing to gain and everything to lose by brutally attacking each other at a time when we should all be resolved to work together for a safer and healthier America. The only people who are gaining from this constant, demeaning war of words are the likes of Ann Coulter, who is laughing all the way to the bank while we all fight with each other. A book like this should make you angry at Ann Coulter, not her enemies. Enough already!
Rating:  Summary: I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT Review: I love Ann Coulter. I know that everything she says is true because when I did a Lexis-Nexis search for "Coulter AND research AND factual AND truth AND honor AND human being" there were no hits!!! Oh, hey, wait a minute...... never mind.
Rating:  Summary: Dont miss the follow up "KILL 'EM ALL, LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT" Review: The adminstration fails to defend the US on 9-11. The adminstration allows members of the bin Laden family to leave. The adminstration allows Taliban and al Qaeda members to be airlifted from Kunduz at the behest of Pakistan. The adminstration fights tooth and nail against a congressional inquiry. The adminstration fights tooth and nail against said inquiries for about a year. The adminstration fights for (and gets) a redacted version to be released. The adminstration fights tooth and nail against an independent inquiry. The adminstration continues to stonewall said indepedent inquiry. The adminstration (and it's shills) lies to the American people to get us into war. The adminstration (and it's shills) lies about the casualities from said war. The adminstration (and it's shills) lies and attacks anyone who questions its policies. Even to the point of outing CIA operatives. Makes one wonder, where the *real* treason lie.
Rating:  Summary: this IS factual! I check her sources!!! Review: Read treason, then go get this book: Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America by John Earl Haynes & Harvey Klehr To all the other reviews who say she lies, you obviously have not read her footnoes (many, many per page). I backtracked her facts using her footnotes, and found them acurate. Further, visit: ... for unbiased documented proof. This is THE cable from the soviet spymaster in Washington to his HQ in Moscow. Don't anyone dare say that Coulter doesn't back up her facts when I can find this on the NSA web site.
Rating:  Summary: Documentation of Liberal Lies Review: Read the book, research the citations, and admit she has valid documentation for her opinions making her views completely plausible. Next, get it through your heads that liberals throughout history have put America in danger with their views. After that, realize that liberals are whiners and cry when they don't get what they want. If that doesn't work, then maybe write a review saying "I wish I could give this book zero stars" and call Coulter names to try and make up for your bankrupt lives.
Rating:  Summary: I wish I could give a -5 stars for a rating Review: I have one quick thing to say...this book just proves once again that Ann Coulter is a lying B**** who lies all the time. Just like her book Slander, this one is a bunch of BS and lies from a crazy psychotic conservative. And, this is not coming from a liberal. This is not coming from someone who doesn't like to be hated so much by this woman. I consider myself neither a conservative or a liberal. However, if Ann Coulter is what conservatives are suppose to be like, then I would sure as hell never want to be one and associate myself with such people.
Rating:  Summary: The treason here is the betrayal of the facts Review: I went into this book with an open mind. I have seen Ann Coulter on TV, and while often in disagreement with her points, have always been at least impressed by her steadfast defense of them. After reading Treason however, it is entirely clear that the author has become nothing more than a charicature of the very ideology she purports to support. Her rancor, her divisiveness and her blatant lack of factual support for either her anecdotes or her contentions is truly laughable. The distortions, sins of omission and outright fallacies within this book are painful to read. To address some previous reader comments about 1-star reviewers "being close-minded" or "unwilling to face the truth" (I'm paraphrasing here), let me just say that almost every inch of Coulter's work has been thoroughly debunked. (There are numerous sites on the web devoted to this purpose.) I don't dislike this book or its author because she says things that I don't want to hear or read, I dislike them because they are demonstrably untrue, lower the quality of political discourse in this country, and serve to do nothing but keep Coulter's face on TV and her pockets lined. "Treason" is the worst kind of demagoguery, and Ann Coulter should be ashamed.
Rating:  Summary: Soviet-style hatchet job Review: The style of argumentation in this book will remind readers of the tirades against US-based capitalism that used to come out of the former Soviet Union: demonize the enemy. That's all this is. Turn the opponent into inhuman mush. I am endlessly amazed how much extremists around the world have in common.
