Product Description
The hottest and most controversial book of the year! Find out who really controls the media in America.
"[Ann Coulter] is never in doubt. And that, along with her bright writing, sense of irony and outrage, and her relish at finally hitting back at political opponents (especially in the media) is what makes Slander such refreshing and provocative reading."
---Los Angeles Times
"[Ann Coulter] is a fluent polemicist with a gift for Menckenesque invective . . . and she can harness such language to subtle, syllogistic argument."
---Washington Post Book World
"The most popular nonfiction book in America."---New York Times
"The real value of Slander . . . is not in the jokes or devastating exposs of liberal politicians and their allies, but the serious and scholarly study of just how entrenched the media prejudice is against anyone whose politics are even faintly conservative."
---New York Sun
"Written with a great deal of passion . . . the real source of its strength---and its usefulness---was its painstaking marshalling of evidence . . . More important than [High Crimes and Misdemeanors] because it addresses a much broader issue, and one of lasting significance."---National Review
Outline Review
"Liberals have been wrong about everything in the last half century," writes conservative pundit Ann Coulter, author of the bestselling anti-Clinton tome High Crimes and Misdemeanors. They've been especially wrong about Republicans, she writes. The bulk of Slander, in fact, is a well-documented brief dedicated to the proposition that most of the media despises anybody whose political opinions lie an inch to the right of the New York Times editorial page. This is hardly an original observation, though few have presented it with such verve. Coulter is the shock-jock of right-wing political commentary, able to dash off page after page of over-the-top but hilarious one-liners: "Liberals dispute slight reductions in the marginal tax rates as if they are trying to prevent Charles Manson from slaughtering baby seals." There's a certain amount of irony about an author who says "liberals prefer invective to engagement" also declaring, "The good part of being a Democrat is that you can commit crimes, sell out your base, bomb foreigners, and rape women, and the Democratic faithful will still think you're the greatest." But then carefully measured criticism never has been Coulter's shtick--or her appeal. Fans of Rush Limbaugh and admirers of Bernard Goldberg's Bias won't want to miss Slander. --John Miller

 | Ann Coulter still searching to write a book on something she is 1/2 competent about Dec 29, 2009 |
| Pat Roberston and Jerry Falwell blamed the 9/11 attacks on atheists, gays, feminists, abortionists etc. Did he mention the awful job that Bush (who was president for 8 months after all) did in preventing the attacks? No. Falwell stated and Roberston agreed that those groups let a deity to take away his supposed umbrella of protection away from America. So, these "blame America" first individuals blame an attack committed by religious nuts on freethinkers and securlarists? Coulter's reaction in her book, well it was wrong for Walter Cronkite to criticize these nutjobs. Isn't Coulter big on this kick of all who criticize rightwing presidents are traitors, unamericans, unpatriotic, etc? I guess blaming America and not the terrorists doesn't count, huh? | | |  | Strong medicine for weak liberal minds Nov 20, 2009 |
| Coulter pulls no punches in her masterful expose of the liberal press. Coulter disembowels the liberal establishment with 'Ninjaesque' deftness. If you can handle the *big* words, have rudimentary math and logic skills, and aren't afraid of critical thinking then you might find this book as hilariously revealing as I did. Quite a tour de force! | | |  | Just awful Oct 28, 2009 |
| I don't fit a potitical classification ... but this is just plain drivel. Convoluted, mean, bizarre thinking. I worry about our country after reading this. | | | | The Liberal Bias & ObamaNation Aug 21, 2009 |
Ann Coulter's incisive perspective into the liberal bias against the American right was written several years before ObamaNation was even considered a possibility; her observations ring prophetic. The situation has even gotten more biased, as a new President has taken over the reigns & appears to be leading this country down the perilous path of socialism; to this point he's received a mysterious free pass from the press.
No matter what Obama does or doesn't do seems to be accepted carte blanche from a media who clearly appears to be shills for the President's vague agenda. Certainly, the American public has grown increasingly disgruntled recently over issues ranging from his handling of the economy & health care to his lack of transparency over his past; including his eligibility to even be our President.
This appears to be a one term Presidency for Obama, barring an unforseen miracle in his erratic decision making. We need a leader who is more centrist to resolve this nation's problems & it seems likely that won't be forthcoming. I only hope we can survive the next three and a half years without total chaos.
It doesn't look good at this particular point in time; Coulter has continued to raise valid concerns in an enlightening and entertaining manner, providing America with a refreshingly conservative perspective.

I knew I wouldn't agree with Coulter, but was astounded at how awful her writing and her logic are. Coulter tells us that "liberals hate America! They hate all religion, except Islam!" (after all, only right wingers are religious)
She says liberals love child molesters (I don't know of anyone of any political viewpoint who loves child molesters), drug addicts, and prostitutes.
She wants us to believe the media is dripping with liberal bias. Apparently, she never listens to talk radio, where guys like Rush (and sometimes her) can froth at the mouth for hours with no opposing opinions allowed--thanks to Reagan killing the Fairness Doctrine. Apparently, she hasn't read that after Reagan and Bush deregulated the media, major corporations bought up most media outlets. So we are to believe that CEO's of Fortune 500 companies spend a fortune to buy the media, only to let commie pinko types control it and spread left wing propaganda. Huh? LOL
If you believe these things and are willing to swallow one ridiculous rant after another, this book is for you. I noticed that there are used copies available for one penny--still more than this book is worth.
It is truly disturbing to see how many people are raving about this "great" book. Have we lost all critical thinking? | | | Write your own review about Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
