Average Rating: Rating: - Another Home Run for Coulter - Game Over for Liberals I rushed out to buy Treason today, and I just finished it. It was amazing! Confirming what most conservatives, and quite a few moderates had suspected all along, Ann serves a decisive blow to the Leftists in America who are dedicated to seeing this country fall in shambles. Meticulously exposing the lie of "McCarthyism" for what it is, liberals can no longer hide behing their precious Orwellian symbol of fear and ignorance. "Treason" launches the most compelling arguments to date to support the thesis that American liberals are patriotic only to the extent that it keeps them from being "boiled in oil." With the introduction of "Treason," the fate of the American left hinges on two hopes: 1. They had better hope no one reads this book (clearly unlikely to happen, at least not in this dimension), and 2. They had better hope someone can prove Ann's claims wrong (again, only possible in a world where Clinton was a good President and Alger Hiss was really innocent). Unless both of these conditions are met, it's hard to imagine any rational American ever taking another Democratic candidate for President seriously again. Hats off to Ms. Coulter, she's hit another one out of the park! Rating: - The Trouble With Ann "Treason"'s admirers invariably praise it as breathtaking and eye-opening, underscoring the enormity of Coulter's reinterpretation of much contemporary history. But this begs the question; if the history of post-WWII America has been so distorted, why has no one before Coulter exposed it? Is the liberal conspiracy that powerful? Were Coulter's fellow conservatives too timid to speak the truth, or too blind to see it? Or is Coulter's case based on exaggeration and distortion? First, simplest and clearest, are the basic factual errors, of which several have already been documented by reviewers; one can examine a number at spinsanity.com, a non-partisan site which similarly debunked errors in Michael Moore's latest book. Coulter does not deny or invent plain facts very often, but she does rely heavily on misrepresentation. For example, observes Spinsanity, Coulter claims the media engages in "total suppression" of the religion of Muslim criminals and terrorists, such as the Washington sniper; 'You need a New York Times decoder ring' to find out 'John Allen Muhammad was a Muslim.' In fact, not only did the Times repeatedly report this fact, it devoted an article to exploring religion and other motives of the killings. Then there are the larger, historical flights of fancy. To describe Truman, Kennedy, or LBJ as soft on communism is absurd. JFK was responsible for the Bay of Pigs, went eye-to-eye with the Soviets during the Cuban missile crises, and put our first troops in Vietnam. It was then LBJ who extended this support to the point of an all-out war. Truman put us in Korea, went to extraordinary lengths to prevent Italy and Greece from going communist, and founded NATO. And as Joe Conason at Salon points out, whereas Coulter claims it was Republican congressional victories in 1947 that pushed Truman to take a hard anti-communist stands, the new Republican Congress was essentially isolationist and slashed defense spending by hundreds of millions of dollars. Finally there's Jimmy Carter, whose reputation as a wishy-washy peacenik persists today. In fact, he was the president who ended détente and initiated U.S. support for anti-communist forces in Nicaragua and Afghanistan. Coulter would probably have had an easier job accusing our Republican Cold War presidents of treason. After all, it was a Republican who first invited a Soviet Premier to the US (Eisenhower), a Republican who initiated détente with the Soviets and recognized Communist China (Nixon), Republicans who signed almost every bilateral arms control agreements with the Soviets (Nixon, Reagan, and Bush Sr.). As for her defense of Joe McCarthy, even David Horowitz, who publishes Coulter on his web site, couldn't stomach it. He sensibly and correctly observes that while there was some danger of communist infiltration of the government and the democratic party, Truman and his team of cold war liberals had effectively eliminated it; McCarthy's only achievement was to discredit anti-Communist efforts. Writes Horowitz, "It was the Truman Administration that prosecuted Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs. In fact the decisive battles of this era took place _inside_ liberalism." But this is a reality Coulter's black-and-white worldview cannot accept. Rating: - Crackpot Filled with pure hate and distortions. She defends McCarthy - how more unAmerican can you get.
