Publisher's summary

Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental best-sellers 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)

Critic reviews

"A great deal of research supports Ms. Coulter's wisecracks." (New York Times)

More of bs by Cruella Deville of the right.

Just plain bad. No footnotes = straight bs.

Wow! What a terrible book!

No footnotes, just undocumented BS. Just rambles on and on about nothing. I thought this book would be good. Don't waste your time.

Wasted Time

I am sorry that I wasted even a moment on such (albeit) witty, un-Christian, and mean drivel.

good book

I enjoyed listening to this very much.

The history!

It is amazing, listening to this book as we near the 2016 election, to find so much of the Clinton scandalous history present in this book. Ann documents the very press caterwauling occurring today with such regularity after Trump's every public speech, but now used to smear Trump with precious Democrat acts, like Gore's rescinded concession and the Florida recounts. Which party has a history of not accepting election results?
Clinton lobbed bombs as Lewinsky details hit the press, inspiring the movie, "Wag the dog"
This book is worth the price for the history alone, but you get the bonus of Ann's dry sense of humor as well. Enjoy!

Fun and funny.

Ann Coulter cracks me up with her wit! I couldn't stop laughing at her liberal bashing. This is a book every conservative should read (or listen to).

Great product

Narrator was effective in conveying book text. she does so with appropriate inflection in her voice.

A boring diatribe

Save your money; this is so boring... she must have been short of cash and churned this out to make a quick buck.

A commentator is a terrible thing to waste

As an Audible offering, "How to Talk..." is of acceptable quality. The switching between narrators is a bit grating, and detracts somewhat from the overall recording. But there are other reasons one might wish to skip this and spend your time more productively. The single greatest problem with Ann Coulter's latest book is its relationship to reality, or rather its lack thereof. Simply launching ad hominem attacks against those with whom we don't agree is no substitute for detailed discussion of the issues they raise. This is one of the most rookie of errors possible in logic, and would be funny if it weren't so Orwellian. What we need from someone of Ms. Coulter's obvious intellectual capabilities and achievements is a little less rookie error, and a lot more open discussion to advance the debate. Regardless of whether you agree with what she has to say, there is just too much bathwater here and not enough baby. Unless you derive pleasure listening to a biased presentation to salve your own biases, skip this one.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ann, you are so good!

The film discussion alone is worth the book price. Yes, when no one is arguing, liberals sound soooo good. But only then. This is one fun book.
