Not for nothing did Bill Buckley call Miss Coulter “Tailgunner Ann”.
Thank you Ann Coulter. It’s about time somebody took Radosh to task for being such a limp, appeasing noodle. I hope he tries to defend himself so she can do it again.
:}
What is wrong with National Review? They don’t have to “like” every conservative book, but yeesh. Even I could write a better review.
I am humbled that you for including my “BookTV” post on the “Blacklisted”
in your find FR thread compendium in post 21.
I will tell posters and lurkers that they can still at least hear
(via dial-up connections) and probably see (with higher speed connections)
the presentation the author made on his book “Blacklisted” on BookTV
(C-Span2, weekends) over the past couple of weekends.
Just go to the link below and click the “Watch” button at the right
side of the page.
You’ll get a Real Player popup of the BookTV presentation by the author.
(granted, with dial-up, you’ll probably get passable audio and just
an MTV-video jerky set of stills for video!).

Nice one.
“But the essence of what McCarthy was saying was: Let’s get into this a bit. How could Whittaker Chambers meet with FDR’s Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle in 1939, reveal massive Soviet penetration of the Roosevelt administration, and still have these same Soviet spies swarming through Democratic administrations a decade later?”
According to one of Ann’s books, when Secretary of State Adolf Berle confronted Roosevelt about admitted spy Whittaker Chambers stating that he actually worked with Alger Hiss, Roosevelt told Berle to “go **** himself.
Not for nothing did Bill Buckley call Miss Coulter "Tailgunner Ann."From www.claremont.org:
Tailgunner Ann
A review of Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, by Ann CoulterBy William F. Buckley, Jr.-- snip --
...As expected, much of the book is devoted to rejecting commonly accepted charges against Senator Joe McCarthy. She gives the reader the names of a dozen indisputably traitorous actors who worked in government while concealing their ties to the Soviet Union. Quite properly, she lists Alger Hiss and Owen Lattimore as prime examples of liberal obstinacy, and she wonders very much out loud whether that obstinacy arose because these liberals were concerned with due process and the presumption of innocence and all that, or whether they were, in heart and mind, on the Soviet side in the Cold War...
-- snip --
...She writes with scorn and derision of the critics of McCarthy and of the lengths to which many of them went, and still do. The late Brent Bozell and I spent 18 months attempting to distinguish what McCarthy had said and charged in the years we examined, and where (not often) he was indefensible. Our book was titled McCarthy And His Enemies, because we sought to make the point that many enemies of McCarthy had earned a derision and contempt that they nevertheless never had experienced in the cooler, reflective chambers of historical criticism. Coulter's rejoinders to many of McCarthy's critics are well aimed, and the offenders eminently vulnerable...
-- snip --
...There was the dogged New York Times defense of the so-called Lackawanna Muslims, brought in by the FBI and interrogated. The Times expressed deep sympathy for the detainees, and reported the dismay of their neighbors. "It was just like the Times's man-on-the-street interviews on Bush's tax plan. For the Times, an ordinary American is a sociology professor in Oregon whose wife teaches tantric sex at the community college." Coulter accosts the defense of the detained Yemeni-Americans to the effect that they were no more suspicious than the man next door with some of the data the FBI had come up with. "The prosecution's case, at least in part, is that a terrorist can be the kid next door. Yes—if the kid next door trained with al-Qaeda. Mohammed Atta lived next door to somebody, too. Don't all criminals live next door to somebody? What was the Times's point?"
There is a lot of such fun and shrewdness as this in Ann Coulter's book, but there is also mischief, which of course can be fun. Especially mischief about the other guy.
William F. Buckley, Jr. is the founder of National Review.
:o)
William F. Buckley’s strategy was to have NR be anti-communist but not kooky, and I think this is a slightly botched continuation of that approach. Or maybe they promised Radosh they’d publish his review and had to live with what he ended up writing. It would be interesting to know what happened behind the scenes.
You made my day.
I love it when the ongoing liberal/socialist attempt to redefine history FAILS.
This book means abject and complete historical failure for the Dems. Since they cannot argue with it, they will ignore the book. So it will be our job to repeatedly stick it right in their twisted faces!
All liberals are Utopians anyway, who want ( Communist) heaven on earth. Some one should tell them you have to die to get there! LOL.
OF course Anne is doing a great job at just that!
That sends the libs right around the bend!( The Libs do not have bright sexy women, they are either ugly trying to be bright OR physically attractive but mentally scattered. The libs just can't figure Anne out. Why?
Because she IS extremely bright AND sexy.
( SIGH)

It kind of reminded me of when David Brock wrote his Hillary book how he tried to sound like a “reasonable” conservative. Instead it was just the reflection of what a liberal ass he really was.
Thank you so much for posting this Ron.De nada.You made my day.
For what it's worth, however, I just POSTED it.Ann WROTE it. :o)
