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 exposés 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

   The text is showing its age. For those of us who became conservatives because we realized, through experience, how unhealthy it is to be liberal, we’re learning nothing new. Experience has taught us that conservatism provides a better, healthier way of life. I agree with Coulter on 99% of what she writes in Slander.

   At the same time, this book is a rant, and the rant gets tiring. She repeats a lot of the same information (and attacks!!!) multiple times in one section of a single chapter. She could have made her point with more concise writing.

   Coulter researched the book, which is another plus. She provides TONS of footnotes. She encourages readers to utilize LexisNexis so that they can do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

   Coulter’s books are often verbose, acerbic, and intense, but Coulter herself holds strong, conservative, admirable values. And it takes a lot of courage to share those values with the world.

   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?

   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!

   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.

   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.
