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 . . .

Such camaraderie of nincompoops! Coulter can’t impede scripting her dumbfuck judgments whereas I cannot halt my viewing. ( )

As a child, I saw the tome as something that was perennial. Raised in house full of classics, I had a distorted view of what the written text, 'a book' implied.
Modern books on politics really do much to have proven this childish notion wrong. Nothing in this, or any book similar, have any lasting values. If this book is still remembered twenty, thirty years from now, I will be shocked.
As for Coulter and her opinions, they did give me a hard laugh. And it did do much to prove a very Liberal point; that if you control your standards of definition, you can never be wrong. Alas, until the world agrees with your definitions, you can never be correct either. ( )

Gotta love Ann, "We should invade their countries..." ( )

Coulter's style (in writing and speaking) is obviously over-the-top, but worth a read for those who don't regularly watch FOX News. I'm for keeping an open mind and balancing the obvious spin of both liberals and conservatives--somewhere between the two is the real truth. ( )

Ann Coulter a conservative commentator and author that argues that liberals control the mainstream media and use it to demonize conservatives and conservative values. Coulter identifies a "liberal catechism" that includes "a hatred of Christmas, guns, the profit motive," and free speech. The some of the language in this bestseller is strong. Her writing is also witty and factual. If you are an American voter, you should read this. Judge the book after you read it and not the author before you do. ( )
