Book Description

Oct 5 2004
Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental bestsellers Treason, Slander, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in years—and certainly the most controversial. Now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong.

In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, “Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it’s all true.” How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) offers Coulter’s unvarnished take on:

•The essence of being a liberal: “The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.”

•John Kerry: “A reporter asked Kerry, ‘Are you for or against gay marriage?’ As usual, his answer was, ‘Yes.’ ”

•Her 9/11 comments: “I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!”

•The state of the Democratic Party: “Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party’s spiritual leader.”

•Her philosophy for arguing with liberals: “Tough love, except I don’t love them. My ‘tough love’ approach is much like the Democrats’ ‘middle-class tax cuts’—everything but the last word.”

•The “Treason Lobby”: “Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States.”

In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you’ll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publish—“what you could have read if you lived in a free country,” says Coulter. How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter’s commentary has achieved must-read status.

“A fluent polemicist with a gift for Menckenesque invective...and she can harness such language to subtle, syllogistic argument.”--Washington Post Book World

“Ann Coulter is a trailblazer.”--Los Angeles Times Book Review

“She can zing one-liners faster than Zeus can throw lightning bolts.”--Kansas City Star

“You know those pundits who bore you to tears trying to balance everyone’s point of view? Coulter isn’t one.”--People

“A great deal of research supports Ms. Coulter’s wisecracks.”--New York Times

“The conservative movement has found its diva.”--Bill Maher

“Ann Coulter is a pundit extraordinaire.”--Rush Limbaugh

Also available as a Random House AudioBook and as an e-Book


Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon

This forceful, sarcastic, and often hilarious book offers tips on arguing with liberals, which include the following: Don't be defensive, always outrage the enemy, and never apologize to, compliment, or show graciousness to a Democrat. Welcome to the world according to Ann Coulter. Ever combative, Coulter is unafraid to court controversy or confront her detractors head-on, whether they are mainstream journalists and talk-show hosts who have misquoted her without apology or "weak and frightened conservatives" craving liberal approval. Though the writing is often over-the-top, the book if full of one-liners that will delight conservatives, such as "the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents' home, get a job, and start paying taxes." But there is more here than just insults and countless jabs at Bill Clinton, and even her most devoted readers will find much new material in the book. Largely a collection of her syndicated columns from the past decade, How to Talk to a Liberal also includes columns that were never released or were rejected by editors--in Coulter's words, "what you could have read if you lived in a free country." --Shawn Carkonen

Amazon Exclusive Content

Ann Coulter on Election 2004
Ann Coulter has become a fixture among the country's leading conservative pundits with her take-no-prisoners approach making for controversial headline copy. Sh e speaks out about Election 2004 in our exclusive interview.

From Publishers Weekly

Never mind this book’s title; from the writings collected here, it sounds like Coulter has never talked calmly with anyone, much less "liberals." In her view, "liberals" aren’t even "sentient creatures." Rather, they are conspiracy theorists and "street performers" who "traffic in shouting and demagogy." Following her previous bestseller, Treason, this book reprints installments from the last five years of Coulter’s syndicated column. Her modus operandi is to "start with the maximum assertion about liberals and then push the envelope, because, as we know, their evil is incalculable." If the title isn’t clue enough, the "we" in that quote demonstrates her assumption that the reader is as angry as she is, which frees her to make any accusation, whether grounded in reality or not. Coulter’s favorite target, hands down, is the New York Times, which she claims distorts the truth, ignores the facts or gets them wrong altogether. Her proposed solution for the 2001 incident in which China’s "three-foot-tall dictator" held an American flight crew hostage: "give us the Americans and we’ll let them keep any New York Times reporters." Not surprisingly, she was in favor of attacking Iraq, and many of her columns dating back to the first months of the invasion sound exceedingly out of touch now ("The rebuilding in Iraq is going better than could possibly have been expected"). Besides previously printed columns, the book includes a few new pieces on Coulter’s pet peeves (like Democrats’ "double standards"), as well as articles rejected by editors at magazines like the National Review and Good Housekeeping. Frequently funny, if only for its sheer audacity, this book will gratify "cranky conservatives" and outrage everyone else.

1.0 out of 5 stars ignorant woman... Dec 9 2004
Format:Hardcover
This woman is one of the worst, most ignorant authors I have even attempted to read. This new style of "free speech" seems to have infested the media...making rude and rash comments that hold no merit and no logic. This book wasn't even worth buying. To Ann Coulter, rights should be thrown out the window, tolerance of others should be shot down and marching around with blind ignorance should be praised. I won't even quote things out of this book, its not worth even one star. If you want to read ignorance and stupidity at its worst, go ahead and read this book at a library. But God forbid you buy it and support this woman with your hard-earned money.

But wait, Ann Coulter isn't done, as many know her recent interview on CNN is spreading the internet like wildfire. She thoroughly insulted Canada with comments such as:
"they're lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent as us"
"we could have taken them over so easily"
"all i want is the western portion, the ski hills, the cowboys and the right-wingers"
[we should ridicule them] "because they speak french, we like the english-speaking canadians"

I believe this speaks for itself.
Je suis Canadien et je suis fier de mon pays!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hail Ms Ann Coulter Nov 13 2006
Format:Paperback
Quite frankly when I first discovered Ann Coulter while watching

American television. Here was a woman a man like myself could have healthy sexual thoughts about. While drooling at the television and ignoring the sound of the kettle boiling, Ann Coulter is every conservative man's dream come true. She writes very much in the manner as she talks. Very fast and she doesn't give a damn about giving

Liberals heart attacks with her views. In fact she dares to say what I think! Buy this book if you need a boost from pretentious Liberals who are depressing you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Menace to thinking people everywhere Nov 17 2004
Format:Hardcover
Simply put- this woman is 'up there' with the short sighted, opinionated and blind neo-cons in Bush's government. This new brand of commentator is truly irritating- nothing a free minded sensative socialist minded person can do is right or correct... only by taking a narrow view of the world (we will MAKE you have a democracy, even though ours doesn't work), not understanding culture and throwing around brave words like freedom, democracy, evil, patriotism, blah blah... can one be deemed 'intelligent'. Nausiating.
