Slander

Liberal Lies About the American Right

By: Ann Coulter

Narrated by: Ann Coulter

“The immutable fact of politics in America is this: liberals hate conservatives.”

Ann Coulter, whose examination of the Clinton impeachment was a major national bestseller and earned widespread praise, now takes on an even tougher issue. At a time when Democrats and Republicans should be overwhelmingly congenial, American political debate has become increasingly hostile, overly personal, and insufferably trivial. Whether conducted in Congress or on the political talk shows, played out at dinners or cocktail parties, politics is a nasty sport.

At the risk of giving away the ending: It’s all liberals’ fault.

Cultlike in their behavior, vicious in their attacks on Republicans, and in almost complete control of mainstream national media, the left has been merciless in portraying all conservatives as dumb, racist, power hungry, homophobic, and downright scary. This despite the many Republican accomplishments of the last few decades, as well as the Bush administration’s expert handling of the country’s affairs in the wake of the worst attacks on American soil and of the war that followed.

With incisive reasoning and meticulous research, Ann Coulter examines the events and personalities that have shaped modern political discourse—the bickering, backstabbing, and name-calling that have made cultural mountains out of partisan molehills. She demonstrates how the media, especially, are biased—and usually wrongheaded—and have done all in their power to obfuscate the issues and the people behind them, bending over backward to villainize and belittle the right, while rarely missing an opportunity to praise the left.

Perhaps if conservatives had had total control over every major means of news dissemination for a quarter century, they would have forgotten how to debate, too, and would just call liberals stupid and mean. But that’s an alternative universe. In this universe, the public square is wall-to-wall liberal propaganda.

Refreshingly honest and unerringly timely, Slander continues where Bernard Goldberg’s number one bestselling Bias left off.©2002 Ann Coulter; (P)2002 Random House Inc.; Producer: Laura Wilson; Abridgment: Peter Michalos

Critic reviews

In Praise of Ann Coulter

“Ann Coulter is one of the fiery new breed of conservative commentators who don’t worry what the Establishment thinks of them.” —Robert D. Novak

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

“There’s nothing artificial about Ann. She has a vision of the Constitution and the government’s rightful role in our lives that is much different from the mainstream, and much different from mine, but she represents a significant constituency.” —Geraldo Rivera

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

“One of the twenty most fascinating women in politics.” —George magazine

Slander? Ann Coulter a subject she often does …

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Right off the bat I have to say I do find AnnCoulter entertaining around the's standpoint of an individual who has only bread one book prior to this of hers. Let I'm going to say first about this book is which was written in the review which is I believe the first review on Amazon.com under the hardcover edition. Is in Coulter goes right after Gloria Steinem and a section of the book . Saying that the only reason her magazine stayed afloat. Jimmy was very hypocritical and was the tea pot calling the kettle black . Look at AnnCoulter . Her face is changed so much from this book is 2002 from Trump withdraws . Where she's obviously had a nose job in plastic surgery and Botox to make sure her face is pretty and she's obviously using her looks to sell her books . Along with an egocentric sometimes sensationalize facts, with not a lot findings to back up the information she is spouting off in her books . Watch her books are entertaining sometimes but… The language she uses in them i.e. terms are offensive especially when you are falling under one of the terms she's describing you as an you took the money and bought this audiobook to listen to while you did the immersion reading with Kindle book . She lives in the world or at least speaks in the world with terms that are completely outdated and offensive that have not been used in 30 to 40 years . Especially using the word cripples , blacks , and other politically incorrect term like that I think she should be smart enough as a lawyer to know that they are not acceptable to use this day and age and honestly think about what she says or at least be changing how she says it before speaking it or I should say writing it. That being said I didn't find her to be very intelligent I thought this book is very well-written I don't really want to talk to much about the book because I hate when people spoil things in the reviews . I gave the book what I thought would be a fair rating I really like the point of view for the most part I just pointed about when I didn't like it. I gave the performance/narration five stars , the story restarts because I thought certain things were way mean-spirited at times which is why the overall rating was three stars for would've gotten a higher rating like her book "Mugged" and ¡Adios America! I cave each for stars or overall and 5 Stars, For narration.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

That it was an unabridged edition of the book with the author. Because the full version of the book has a different narrator . So this is the only reason why I purchased this edition other than that I got nothing else to say

Do you think Slander needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Everyone of her books is a follow-up book to her last book . That being said I probably will be reading the next book because I am working on a dissection of this woman for my YouTube channel .

Any additional comments?

I guess you could say I fall somewhere in the middle . I am neither left nor right I kind of agree with that little bit of both sides . Like another reviewer said if I was to call anybody I guess I would say independent except independent so never make it anywhere. However I find you have to force yourself to get through her stuff . Myself being disabled physically, founded a very bitter pill to swallow listening to her talk about things that she doesn't understand Lornas not a thing about when it comes to being on Medicaid or Medicare /welfare. Or living with disability and I guess you could say listening to her old school views is ridiculous at times , because she boxes everyone . When people do not think inboxes not everyone that is Spanish is a criminal , same goes with the Muslims community , I hate how she always refers to work so as white because there is no such thing as "white " . She is Caucasian , which means her ancestory i.e. heritage is made up of many different nationalities , and it makes her sound like a bigot . Watching her on TV I found her entertaining I find her very smart I find her very interesting but because she is a lawyer she has to always be right even when she's wrong . I understand that I can accept that . However I do not like people who put down other people can make themselves feel better or to put themselves up on a pedestal . Like I said I like her book Mugged,, and her last book. And the one about the Clinton impeachment .

Exceptionally well-documented & researched

It is fair to criticize Ann Coulter for her abrasiveness, which does get a bit tiring at times. But one cannot fault the research that she did for this book. This is not just a collection of gripes against the mainstream media, but a case-by-case expose of brazen, shocking bias with example after example after example. She gives sources for every contention and quote. There are no doubt people who will not find Coulter's book convincing, but anyone with an open mind will be persuaded to look at the news provided by our major media outlets with a much more critical eye.

Incredible how lefties just won't accept the truth

I am actually aghast at the fact that those who have negatively reviewed this tome have failed to see what she is talking about. The author provides clear, concise examples of overt bias in the media from the enablers, cheerleaders, and mouthpieces of the left, and backs up every claim she makes with some hard, verifiable evidence. Perhaps a well-reasoned response to these books, Treason and Slander, would be beneficial if someone feels that they could respond with a defensible position. However, I think that would be extremely difficult (read: impossible) because it extremely difficult to refute the evidence in this book. Most damning is the Alger Hiss information, in my opinion. Incredible the lengths that some would go to in order to protect their poster-child.

One response to a negative review that I had read before purchasing these books (Slander & Treason; bought them together) about the author's use of Lexus-Nexus searches as evidence. It is necessary to use that when the topic you are researching is the media. Since one of the points of these books is that a blatant, left-leaning bias exists in the media and that it enables the Democrat party, she had to use examples from the media. One cannot write with research from Harvard and Yale regarding the media in this case because no supporting viewpoint could be published from such a place.

My review stands as a stellar performance in both books. I recommend them together; what a pair!

Finally! The left gets a damned good wacking!

Put plain and simple, Ms. Coulter's expose' of the heavily left wing biased media smacks of the truth...right where it hurts...in the written and now spoken word.

Amazing Political Awakening

If you're a conservative, you'll love it! If liberal, you'll call her a liar -- without listening to the facts. Ms. Coulter thoroughly dissects the "Press" and their biased news coverage. If you're looking for the facts to support your feeling that the network news never seems to get it right, this book is a "must-listen"!
