I read Treason from cover to cover this week. It rocks. Period.

The Democrats have every reason to be scared sh!tless of a telegenic babe who calls a spade a spade.

You people all notice that he levels unsubstantiated charges against her that the Ann Coulter who routinely verbally body slams any liberal through logic, reasoning and cutting wit, when composing her book uncharacteristically becomes "irrational".

Nothing but platitudes and whining. "Nothing" also describes the contents of their case against her.

.......quickly became notorious for its errors and distortions of the facts, which we detailed in our examination of the book.

As I recall, SpinCity's review of "Slander" was notorious for its errors and distortions of facts (commonly called lies). Brendan is at it again with "Treason".

Spin-Whatever is certainly aptly named.

I haven't purchased her book. Slander started off like gangbusters, and towards the end it looked like she ran out of steam, was under a deadline, or just had to fill up fifty more pages with something. I hope that this isn't the case in Treason.

All of the foot note material is very painful.

For someone with a sick mind, 2 + 2 = 4 is "irrational" and beyond their ability to understand.

Remember, now, that in the "liberal" world view, anybody who disagrees with the party line is by definition irrational.

Well, it ain't The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

It is uneven, and reads as if it were dashed off on deadline, yes.

For well-informed FReepers, there's not much new material.

But as a popular broadside aimed at a clueless public, it is fine.

These college Democrats crack me up.
You can almost see this one crying in anger like a six year-old as he tries to compose his little "review" of Ann's thoroughly documented book.

In a radio interview I heard recently, Ann asked that a caller be allowed to continue his rant as it was a perfect example of the tactics liberals use. They don't dispute the facts, they attack the "bearer" of the facts. Ann mentioned that is one of the things her book talks about.

I just bought my copy at B&N, I couldn't resist buying a copy after all I've heard about it on FR.

Truth hurts
Truth scars
Truth wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
Take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Truth is like a cloud
And it holds a lot of rain
Truth hurts
Oooh, truth hurts.


You're wrong, I know
Baby, what's so
I know a thing or two
Ooo honey, I learned from you
I really learned a lot
I really learned a lot
Truth is like a stove
It burns you when it's hot
Truth hurts, (ooooo), truth hurts

Typical slam of a conservative political argument... they can't deny the facts so they resort to name-calling and unsubstantiated accusations against the author.

It was entirely to be expected :-)

Treason has been beating Hitlary's Lying History since before Treason started shipping.
