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

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.

ignorant woman...,
By "zerokandy" (AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (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: I believe this speaks for itself.

Hail Ms Ann Coulter,

This review is from: How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (Paperback)
Quite frankly when I first discovered Ann Coulter while watchingAmerican 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.

Menace to thinking people everywhere,

This review is from: How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (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.
