Excellent book!  As much as I hate liberals, this book makes you laugh and get mad at the same time.

Unlike those who gave this book a five-star review, I devoted an entire month of my life to studying the book. I read it 66 times. Those who love Ann only bothered to read it once.

This is what I discovered. Ann knows how to make money. Demonize liberals, paint them as inaccurately and as negatively as is humanly possible and then start counting your cash. Rush Limbaugh does it. So does Hannity. So does Ann. It's a racket.

How can anyone - anyone - take Ann seriously? She just wants to make money.

And, no, she doesn't make me squirm. She's the liberal's best friend. Anyone with a brain will run from this kind of conservative trash. She helps the liberal cause with every word she writes.

Great Book and Fast Read.
If the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" taught us that men and women communicate differently, then Ann Coulter's Slander does the same for liberals and conservatives.  Ann explains how liberals handle conservative arguments and describes how the two camps approach public policy debate with quite different styles.
Ann's on-the-mark analysis is supported by countless facts and sound arguments.  The extensive footnotes in the back of the book provide a treasure trove of primary source materials that alone make the book worth the money.  Ann's style and wit left me laughing throughout the read (though many of her conclusions of America's left are disheartening though not entirely surprising).
Great book and a fast, fun read.

If you are intelligent and open-minded, you will understand and enjoy this book. Love it! Naturally the brainwashed Ann Coulter lovers will not understand nor like it. This book is a hoot!

The reason that I hesitate to write a review on this book is because I am not sure it will do much good. We have come to a point in this society that when two people disagree on something there is really no discussion, but only name-calling and ad-hominem attacks. One person claims on here to have diagnosed Miss Coulter as mentally ill according to the Diagnostic Statistical Manual. I am not even going to dignify this idiotic statement with a response other then to say that whoever wrote that is truly a moral idiot. Ann Coulter always comes through and hits it on the head everytime. She does a splendid job refuting the left wing half-wits. Yes Ann Coulter is sarcastic and rude at times, but her so-called rudeness pales in comparison to what the left-wing nut jobs say. There is no gutter that the left will not go to. However on every issue Ann Coulter documents her observations with complete concise research. She does not let up for a moment and always has plenty of evidence to refute every inane liberal "idea." The left in this country truly hates God. They have done everything that is at their disposal to eliminate God from the public eye. They will continue to do so  until there are no references to God in public at all.

I have a theory as to why the left hates God so much. It's called "guilt." When someone is morally corupt it begins to bother their conscience. Now one can either change and be a believe in God and be moral or they can go the otherway and try to stamp out every reference to God. Obviously the left has chosen to continue in their immorality and try to silence reference to God with such ideas as Evolution.

We truly need more people like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity, David Limbaugh and Dennis Prager. These are good people. They are not perfect as nobody is but they are the conscience of our nation. Ann Coulter does America a great service by telling it the way she sees it and does not candy coat it. She is tough, smart, and not too terribly hard to look at either. But with that being said, pick up this book and read it yourself and don't listen to the leftist jerks who hate everything that is good and decent. The book is well researched and well written.

If there was only one criticism it would be that Ann Coulter is an attorney and I think that sometimes she forgets that most of us readers are not and she tends to overuse the legal jargin..

Never has a title more accurately described the contents of a book.
Coulter is one of those hysterical demagogues who give those of us in the center (hint: we're the ones you have to convince if you want to win elections) a reason to vote for Democrats.
The New York Times is no more liberal than the New York Post is conservative. Somehow, though, nobody outside New York is too interested in anything the Post has to say. If Republicans want their media to be taken seriously, they will have to do better than Coulter.

If an author is supposedly objective for both sides, when he is coming from one or the other, he is going to pick and choose which issues to put on the table. He is going to appear fair to steer towards his leaning, but with the hopeful face of fairness. So in an effort of fairness I propose something to laugh at both sides. Let's say if this is our marriage, conservatives and liberals. All in all we would have to name the liberals as the feminine gender and the conservatives as the masculine. So that tells us who is the husband and who is the wife. Since conservatives are accused of being more staunch and libers more emotional; since conservations preach work and self reliance, and liberals are more apt to support the women's liberation movement, gay issues, and with other examples we could use, I would say conservative/masculine; liberal/feminine is the correct choice for the most part for this marriage. Now liberals are accused of being race baiters. Ok there has been examples of that, while of course there is true racism, and always will be on all sides, and I do think I have seen more blatant examples of demonization tactics and hate coming from liberals, but let's be a good sport about it. The liberals would like to characterize us conservatives as Archie Bunker. Ok so in our marriage here, that would make the liberals out to be Archie's spouse Dingbat. Liberals do have shifting logic that is steered by their bias. So our country is being run by Archie and Dingbat. On a more serious note, let's pray to God almighty that Dingbat doesn't put Hillary in the Whitehouse.

First let me begin by saying that I am what most people would label a Conservative.  Anne Coulter would probably say that the liberal media would group me in with the extreme Religious Right.  I wouldn't classify my self as such as I like to think I am still capable of voting for issues and candidates based on other things beside party affiliation.  I have admired Anne Coulter for sometime.  I first became aware of her during the impeachment process for President Clinton.  She was a frequent guest commentator on the various news networks and I found her to be quite knowledgeable about the impeachment process.  Through the years I've continued to see her on various television shows and when I heard about her book SLANDER I thought I'd give it a try.
SLANDER, to it's credit, does a good job of illustrating how the media, especially the 3 major networks and leading news print media favor liberal politicians and issues.  Some of the bias displayed by these agencies is so blatant that these news agencies seem to be more of a propaganda ministry for the Liberal Left.  One of the funnier, and in reality sadder, examples in her book deals with verbal gaffs by political figures.  There are many examples of the media passing off liberal politicians gaffs as humorous, while then indicating the gaffs made by conservative politicians are themselves examples of that persons over all stupidity.  The examples provided by Coulter are all recent and most readers will be able to recall the incidents as well as recognize how they blindly accepted the media analysis of the gaffs.  Coulter does provide references and statistics for some of her examples.
SLANDER, to it's discredit, is as guilty of stereotyping  and insulting Liberals as she indicates they do the Conservatives.  Coulter complains that all liberals are guilty of this and guilty of that.  Never does she mention a liberal issue or politician that has actually benefitted the U.S. or provided it a service.  She complains about the stereotyping of the rich class in the U.S. but never acknowledges that behind the stereotype there are legitimate examples of abuse and corruption.  She complains about the the race baiting that Liberals, in my opinion and hers, are guilty of.  However, she fails to even acknowledge the reason, again in my opinion, that baiting has worked is because for the last 30 years minority concerns have not been at the top of the Conservative agenda.  It is this kind of bashing and bias that Coulter has peppered throughout the entire book.
Lastly, there are of course two sides to every story.  Coulter clearly comes down on one side while refusing to acknowledge the other side has any merits whatsoever.  So while I agree with most of what she has to say I was hoping for a little less of her eloquent bashing and a little more of a well rounded approach to some of her arguments.  This book will obviously appeal more to those who share Coulter's political views and will no doubt enrage  those who don't.  I'm positive this was Coulter's goal.

It is nearly impossible to get honest answers about race relations in the USA. Certainly the media won't tell you the truth, and the government makes little effort to communicate the facts. Ann Coulter has done the research for you, and includes it in this incredible book, all with her classic writing style. Extremely important book.

I just finished Ms. Coulter's book "Treason".  The best reviews I have read of this book so far are the ones citing all the documentation and referencing Ms. Coulter employs.
Reviewers have asked this before but I think it cannot be asked enough.  Liberals: PROVE that any fact written by the author is fabricated or a lie (please note that a fact is not the same thing as an opinion).  So far no one, professional or amateur, has met the challenge!!  The most critical thing the New York Times review could come up with is that there is nothing new in her book!!
This is a must read for anyone who wants a true understanding of the Left's defense of the indefensible.

I listened to the audio CD.  It is great.  It starts a little slow, but picks up after that.  She uses some hyperbole to make it interesting to conservatives and distasteful to liberals.  You must be able to separate information from hyperbole to appreciate her points.  Liberals focus on the hyperbole and dismiss her entire message as unworthy.  I have lived long enough to have lived through many of the events she mentions and have had the freedom to be more liberal when I was younger and less liberal now.  I am an engineer by trade and nature and can not find fault with most of her assertions.  My wife, who has made teacher of the year, also agrees with her.

Whether you have a god, no god, many gods, a weak god, or are like god youselves.  The problems arise when either side starts the marketing of hysteria as logic, logic without compassion, excuses as equal to promises, the segregation of church by state, increasing justified homicides, acceptance of benevolent dictators, and sex as currency.  In the end who or what ever determines right from wrong, those deemed wrong will not be happy.

I enjoyed reading this book because of the information that is never heard in the media.  Coulter gives the reader material to counter the biased media we are surrounded with on a daily basis.  I used to be a big blind liberal and over the last few years I discovered that I am conservative.  For many years people are brainwashed by the media, public ed., colleges, and mostly hollywood.  Coulther with this book and many others shines the much needed light on the lies of the liberal left.
thank you Ann H. Coulter and look forward to future books

Ann Coulter has legs and so does this book. Read the book before everyone else does. You'll never laugh at Coulter quite the same way again.

I don't know who is scarier....Coulter or her fans (like "mormondad2") who consider anyone refusing to parrot  right-wing dogma "traitors."
Hello?  This is America.  The last time I checked, dissent was not a synonym for treason.
I also love the people who can't even spell "hypocrisy' correctly but use it to label everyone who dares to disagrees with them!  (These are the same people who need to check with Rush or Hannity before they can go to the bathroom.)
Interesting that Coulter's "sales" are BULK buys.  What is she smoking anyway?

Like all Ann Coulter books, if you do not share her politics you will hate this book. If conservative, you will find plenty to both laugh and cry over. One thing few can deny, like her or not, the author is one of the most acerbic, witty and at times funniest pundits alive today. (Albeit at the expense of liberals). In this book Ann attempts to solve the divide within the Republican party. I'm not sure her suggestions will all work and was disappointed she used so much dated material to support her ideas. Most of the book was a reprint of columns from her blog site, many going back 8 to 10 years.

How on earth did these "reviewers" with all of the venom of  true Liberals come up with their opinions?

The proof that Ms Coulter is correct about liberals can be seen right here.

Coulter never defines the meaning of "liberal", a term which has turned from a word with an actual meaning and definition into a bad name thrown at random by certain people, such as Coulter, at anyone they don't agree with. However, Coulter informs us that these godless liberals are pagans who love Stalin and Islam and like living in their own excrement. She builds a straw man representing her idea of liberals and rants about it throughout the book. She doesn't even make the effort to argue, she just rants. She makes extreme generalisations to create an us-against-them attitude, hoping to scare her reader from believing anything those godless liberals say.

After making the claim that "liberalism" (a word Coulter don't seem to know the meaning of) is a religion, or a "church" as the title implies in order to be sensational, she goes on to rant about various subjects. The few legitimate points she makes are ruined by her extreme generalizations.

She then spends a long time talking about the theory of evolution. This topic has nothing to do with the rest of the book other than that Coulter regards it as a core belief of her imagined "Church of Liberalism". I don't really care to hear an attourney lecture on evolution, but if there's a market for that, why not making it into a separate book and let this one focus on politics?

The book is written for those who share all of Coulter's opinions. She's preaching for the choir, in order to further strengthen their beliefs. Don't buy this book expecting an actual political discussion. "Godless" takes the political discussion to the sandbox level of namecalling and ranting. It invites no plitical debate. Coulter doesn't try to set the stage for discussion or debate. The only purpose the book serves is as a channel for the hateful rants of someone who is convinced she is right about everything.
