Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ann Coulter's rhetoric may at times seem a bit bombastic and colorful, but her arguments in Slander are cogent and cautiously stated. It is also not a book written solely for a conservative audience . On the contrary, Slander deserves the attention of everyone regardless of their own personal political predilections. Coulter provides abundant evidence that our national discourse has been skewed by the major media outlets. Thus, how can concerned citizens make wise decisions if legitimate and thoughtful positions are taken out of context and distorted? Many Liberals have no intention of taking any prisoners, and long ago tacitly realized that slander is an effective weapon to use against their perceived ideological foes. This hostility is so intense that even economic self interest does not get in the way of pushing their uncompromising agenda, adds Coulter. TV ratings may suffer and newspapers remain unsold, but an immature and anti-intellectual Liberalism remains in control. Liberal politicians and intellectuals may endlessly make fools of themselves, but these individuals have little to worry about. The Liberal media will simply look the other way and cover up their misdeeds. Not so, for those embracing a more conservative temperament. The latter are exhaustingly nitpicked and maligned as extremists committed to destroying our constitutional values and human dignity. Ann Coulter is hopeful that the Drudgereport and other independent voices on the Internet will do much to ameliorate this sad situation. The larger media concerns must now worry that they will be taken to task whenever engaging in such outrageous misbehavior. This was not the case just a few years ago. Coulter, it must be noted, is not a pessimist wallowing in defeatism. Americans are not victims, and she believes victory is realistically achievable. We merely need to grab the bull by the horns. The author has lighted the way---and the rest is up to us.
