If a beady-eyed, rumpled, hard-drinking man with the personality of a treed bobcat rescued your family from a burning building, would you refuse to thank him, desperately wishing that someone more polite, well-educated and better looking had been your children's rescuer?
Would you join in with the arsonists who maliciously set that house fire, who are mocking him as a publicity-hound and drunkard, pronouncing him delusional and even criticizing your family for being so easily tricked into believing there'd been a fire in the first place?
That is a fair analogy to the life and times of Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy and the American public ("The Greatest Generation") who cheered him on as he probed the federal government for embedded Soviet spies at the highest levels of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations....(SNIP)
As Coulter notes "It is a curious fact that the most ridiculed public figures in America in the twentieth century have been those who posed the gravest danger to Communism....Joseph McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, Whittaker Chambers, and Ronald Reagan....(SNIP

Ms. Whitcomb is absolutely correct. One really has to start paying attention to the Democrats' questionable motives.

Very nice review. It gets right to the gist of Coulter's book.

gets right to the gist of Coulter's book. Coulter has given a lot of history in this book that probably few Americans have ever heard of. Not in school, and in few other books than dry histories. And she gets out that info in a spectacular way!

Ann Coulter, in her latest book, "Treason," writes a powerful indictment against the Democratic Party. She charges the party, beginning with Democratic presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman right up to the present, with aiding and abetting whoever attacks the United States, and themselves attacking whoever defends our form of government, and especially whoever attempts to hold the Democrats responsible for the consequences of their lack of patriotism.
She's right.
Thanks for the ping!

Yes I have Anne's book! I also met her at the March for Justice on 10/31/1998. PHENOMINAL lady! I'm SO GLAD she's on our side!

Even though others have written on her subject,I believe she informed a great many people that would never have read the scholarly ,drier books.
