Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

This review says it all....

"It is quite a twisted, delicious irony that Ann's central thesis - that a left-wing mob has given itself "victim" status and swarms in coordinated attacks to discredit anyone who disagrees with it - has attracted all these 1-star reviewers who obviously haven't read the book but who've swarmed in an attack to try to discredit it. Are there any liberals who understand "irony"? I guess not.

Anyway, while it's true that so-called "moderate" conservatives and FoxNews neocon types (who mainly just want to get along and not become completely irrelevant in the Obama era) have tossed Ann under the bus, she continues to deliver strong insights and provocative ideas. The thing is, much of what she says in this book is true. Anyone on the left or right who can't see that our culture has reached the saturation point with all the tired, sappy victimology stuff is deluding himself. The five people who actually open and read this book (as opposed to the hundred who rate it here, or the thousand who'll show up on cable news to debate it) may well discover that she has something important to contribute to the discussion.

Ann is outraged by this?

I thought she was the queen of quoting out of context...

No, THIS review says it all.....

She is an uncompromising apologist for the right and a hater of all things left. Is there anything she won't do or say to further her agenda? The answer is no.

Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter is an unbridled look at a woman who twists the truth, misleads, plays loose with facts and allusions, and has been accused of plagiarism in hammering home her logic-defying arguments.

Brainless illustrates the dangers, ironies, and hypocrisies of the Mistress of Malice. She spews her venom generously across the spectrum. Democrats and Liberals are just the beginning. If you're a woman (you shouldn't vote), gay (you're going to hell), a 9/11 widow (dancing on your murdered husband's grave) or Bill Clinton (slurs and charges too numerous to mention here), you will find yourself the object of her ire.

Now it's time to turn the tables and take a good hard look at the High Priestess of Hypocrisy. Journalist Joe Maguire takes apart her arguments, picks apart her agenda, and gives us a look at the psychology and background of the woman who has reduced public political and cultural debate to browbeating and name-calling.

Diligently researched (with source notes you can verify!), Maguire separates fact from myth and gives us an unvarnished look at the REAL Ann Coulter.

Let's face it. You don't ever want to read a book by Ann Coulter. Read this so you don't have to!

Well there is that saying "don't judge a book by its cover" but people do exactly that. And judge by the author for that matter.

I can't say I'm inspired to read any of her books - her appeal seems to be more about attitude than about fact.

i think aj is saying he didn't like her book.

I don't think Coulter's agenda is any secret. I just wonder why Conservatives here can't be honest and denounce her as the lightweight propagandist she is.

Why is it the only conservative commentators people quote regularly on here are the Coulter's and Limbaugh's of the scene. Surely there are better, more academic, less sensationalist commentators out there - with opinions that don't involve demonizing a caricature of the "other side".

She knows how to sell books, or her publicist does. Oh, to be able to manipulate one's audience so easily...

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

People who like Coulter like her precisely because she eschews the antiseptic-sounding academic objections to liberalism and expresses their shared raw emotions (hatred, contempt) about liberals.

On at least her 3 previous books - there's been some Coulter-related controversy (most recently the "I was banned from NBC" garbage) on or around the day of publication.

Well that certainly makes sense. She writes books for people who want someone to pander to their preconceived ideas.

They say that if you lie with dogs you get fleas. By the same token filling your head with "#######" turns your brain into mush.

Yep. You people help fill up her bank account by constantly buzzing about her every utterance and are shocked when people continue to talk about her. P.T. Barnum was right about a sucker being born every minute. No, I haven't bought book nor will I because I'm a cheapstake and I get opinions for free compliments of angry liberals.

i find it amusing the left wings pay more attention to her than many of us right wings.

Perhaps you should ask Luckystrike - he started the thread (hence people are talking about her). he must be a fan.

He has a porno DVD of her as a dominatrix lashing the azzes of liberal politicos. It's called She Stoops to Spank.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

As far as the root of Coulter's appeal goes, that's not far off the mark.
