Summary: Comes as no surprise...
Review: Like others, I refrained from giving the book a bad review, because a) it doesn't accomplish much b) a book is an achievement regardless of any nonesense one chooses to include in it. I will say this however, Coulter seems to struggle with issues of nationalism and formal argument and many of her statements are extremely vulnerable. She obsesses over who is "more patriotic" in light of accusations that some Americans are too nationalistic. Instead of addressing the issue of how much patriotism is healthy before slinging insults, she avoids the discussion altogether, which make her insults, however amusing, childish, unproffesional and unconvincing to those who are unconvinced.

I would recommend this book only to those who will inevitably watch Rupert Murdoch's programming instead. Reading any book is better than seeing the world from his ridiculous perspective.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Liberals scream at the bright light of truth shown
Review: It doesn't surprise me one bit to see so many hostile reviews from liberals on this particular book. Ann Coulter does a pain stakingly good job of providing documentation for the assertions made in her book. It is difficult for liberals to refute sources like the congressional records or the declassified Venona Papers so they often just result to their same treachery. Ann Coulter's book is both humorous and eye opening. In this dangerous time for our country, the truth Ann Coulter points out about the liberal thinking is vital knowledge for every American.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You can dress a pig in lipstick
Review: Self-delusional hack and supporter of Bush's arrogant, imperial presidency doesn't write about how George W. screwed up on Osama or Saddam. No, she's busy demonizing liberal Democrats.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish I could give this no stars
Review: As an independent, I pride myself on having an open mind on important issues. But this pile of propoganda that Ann Coulter has throuwn into American media is an insult and is untolerable. How can someone claim that McCarthyism never existed? Speeking as someone who grew up during it, I can tell you that it most certainly did happen and its effects were devestating. McCarthy was not a loyal American, and as the prosecuting lawyer said during his trial, McCathy was the only man in the united States without a speck of decency.

What Ann Coulter has given us is not a conservative book, but is unstudied filth that only has evidence that she creates out of her mouth.

A shame for both Liberals and Conservatives alike

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This gal has guts
Review: Though the book is little repetetive in parts, it's a very important read. If you depended on what you learned in school about McCarthy and are at all interested in the truth, read this. If nothing else, it will remind you that there are a lot of folks out there who will stop at nothing to preserve their power, not only turning a blind eye to dangerous traitors, but also collaborating with them. Too bad the truth comes out so late. Thank goodness FDR didn't die sooner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eye opening
Review: This book was an eye opener for me. I also mistakingly thought that McCarthy was on the House of Un-American Ativities Committee & didn't know he was a Senator. Just this fact changes my thinking. I have also asked a lot of my friends & they had the same misconception. I can't believe that Liberals still defend this myth even in the light of the Verona Files.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dangerous Times A Head For Our Nation
Review: If it wasn't so sad it still would not be funny. Not only is the book full of half or out right lies it is a shabby attempt to distort history. This is validated by reading the text of the book and then going to the end notes and discovering though research that the text is simply not correct on a number of items. I don't know Ann Colter but she is obviously lazy in here research or just doesn't care about accuracy. I tried one of her books, didn't like it, and I won't be reading anymore.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Treason indeed
Review: Coulter says contrary to what the liberal media claims, Iraq is doing very well thank you. Tell that to the American soldiers coming home with an arm, an eye, or a leg missing, or to the family of those soldiers who come home in a bodybag. These are the ones who want their country to know what extraordinary sacrifice they are making, and to them it must appear that Coulter is the one committing treason.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Plenty of biting humor, but woefully devoid of honesty
Review: I confess: I'm a liberal. I am not, however, blind to the past and present sins of my party. I gave this book a read in an attempt to better understand the conservative position on issues. Unfortunately, this is not serious political discourse. This is merely fast-food for the neo-con soul, as relevant and unsatisfying as soft-core porn. She beats to death one preposterous, simple-minded premise throughout 292 pages, but her copious footnotes have been proven to be largely fictitious. Don't believe me? Just perform a simple web search for "Ann Coulter" and you'll see what I mean. Not to mention that her take on the McCarthy era can only be established in 20/20 hindsight: the proof in this pudding was only de-classified in 1995! "Conservative intellectual", indeed. This is nothing but tabloid hokum from an opportunist whose 15 minutes are just about up.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Slander
Review: Her last book title described what she was doing more than what her subject actually was. Treason is no different, which is painfully obviously from the get-go. To make Coulter's books easy to swallow, you should probably cleanse your palate with with Al Franken's "Lies and Lying Liars." And if not to cleanse your palate, at least see what the other side has to say rather than just swallowing Coulter's one-sided B.S.
