Summary: Great book
Review: One more great book from Ann Coulter. It moves along very quickly and was hard to put down. I enjoy Ann's unique sense of humor and sarcasm - she has a very interesting way of driving the point home and does this page after page. She puts into words what people are feeling and thinking. No other conservatives out there who have the public's ear are as honest and no-nonsense as she is.

Summary: Amazingly good...
Review: Not being in this country during the McCarthy era, I believed that McCarthyism was a three letter word. Of course, Fox News did not exist then, which helps explain how far leftists were able to divert people's attention from their real collaboration with the Soviets (according to declassified Kremlin documents) to attacking their accusers such as McCarthy. Thanks to Ann, the widely available truth is now in a great book and at last available to people like me who had heard only one side of the story. Very recommended!

Summary: Like a hot knife through butter...
Review: Not very surprising that Ann Coulter's latest book would received only raves or rants... While I may find some arguments simplistic, I agree that many important issues can (in fact) be distilled very succinctly, and unambiguously to phrases like "Evil Empire", "Tear down this wall...", or "Axis of Evil"... Funny - the big knocks against President Bush II, for his statement allowing that Iran, Iraq, and Korea constitute an "axis of evil..." Rather than simply understanding, as Ann writes, they are evil regimes, and they aligned themselves on an axis of evildoers, liberals prefer to confuse with all manner of gratuitous obfuscation. For example, what was he saying? Are they not "different" countries, ideologies, demographics, etc.? Axis of evil sounds childish to many, but those on the receiving end are still not laughing. So, I appreciate the laser-like clarity that comes from leaders like Ronald Reagan - the more I read, the less I like the arcane and almost criminal and apologist policies of left-wingers (FDR, Carter, Johnson, McGovern, et-al). Why did these uber-liberals seemingly align themselves with policies of appeasement, containment, and accommodation of brutal dictatorial regimes, intolerant religious fundamentalists, and anti-western zealots? In short, a bunch of self-described enemies of the United States and our allies. While I cringed and laughed, I agree that this book is paradigm changing in its scope. If you want literature, read, Steinbeck. If you want apologist obfuscation, read stupid white men: Moore and Vidal. If you want common sense, try Ann Coulter and Mona Charen. I like Coulter's ultimate question, "were there spies in the State Department"? Simple - even I can understand this. McCarthy was less than perfect, but hyperbole, grandiosity, and "perjury" does not hold a candle to aiding and abetting communist spies, in the highest offices of the United States government. Read this book.

Summary: A Caricature
Review: Enemies of the right could not make up a caricature as disgusting, frightening, or even laughable as what Ann Coulter has made of herself. Keep it up, Ann, and the Democrats will win the Whitehouse in 2004.

Summary: TREASON
Review: I enjoyed this book. It was well researched and well written.

Summary: Can't be taken seriously
Review: For all her zeal in providing citations, Ann's conclusions are obviously colored by her ideology rather than by the facts. Her arguments that Truman and Marshall's actions at the beginning of the Cold War "accidentally" protected the world from communism require mental acrobatics beyond the abilities of most people, as well as require the convenient neglect of a significant fraction of the historical record. Anyone reading David McCullough's "Truman" can readily see this. As an ideologue by definition is someone who, when reality does not coincide with their ideas, pick their ideas over reality, she can't really be taken seriously as a historian or pundit.

Summary: Hilariously Rediculous Facism Hiden Behind the Veil of Patri
Review: Firstly, I would like to iterate how ludisrously dirty this book actually is, and that the entirety of this book communicated to me that misjudgement and lies can turn an enemy into a friend and vice versa. Joseph McCarthy is portrayed as a partiotic hero in the book when in actuality, he cunningly used lies and outright falsehoods to fool the American public into beleiving his nonsense. Had his cause been completely just, he'd surely not have needed perjury to assist him in his plight.
This book takes everything Plato illustrated in the Republic and violates it in the most treacherous fashion. The cheif element of error in Coulter's book seems to be conected with her diliberatly beligerant usage of the term "liberal", Coulter's weapon of choice, and a word Robert Kennedy personally denounsed as a partisan's primary method of dismissing an arguement. As for a previous reviewer's insistence that the so-called "liberals" are devoutely commited to undermining American patriosm, I don't beleive it needs reminding that his very religion, I assume Christianity, forbids nationalism. To sum the previous statement up, if Coulter had actually bothered an attempt at non-partisan research, she surely would have discovered that Nationalism such as hers is what begat World War I and II. "Treason" clearly illustrates that justice, as Plato and Thrasymachus perscribed, is in the eye of the beholder. ..

Summary: Now I know why...
Review: Now I know why my wife left me, became a lesbian, and ate our children. Thanks for explaining it, Ann.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This book should be read by every American. Ann tells it like it is. The world needs to finally find out about the Democrats' hypocracy and their lies. If we don't spread the word about Ann's book, the Democrats will destroy our country and turn it into a communistic third-world country. So take heed, one and all.

Summary: Irresponsible Hysteria: No Facts, Just Emotion
Review: Ms. Coulter, it's time to stop the uneducated name-calling and focus on real facts. You've become the modern version of our founding fathers' worst nightmare: a self-interested person posing as a patriot only to boost book sales. I give this book one star only because a zero star rating is unavailable. Readers, please do yourselves and the country a favor: Read up on the tough, cold *facts* of American history. Choose to read a real history book for this purpose. Don't settle for a biased, emotive cliff notes tome. Then exercise your constitutional right to talk about the issues in an intelligent way.
