Blasts at liberal 'traitors' win US book war

The Observer ^ | Sunday July 27, 2003 | Lawrence Donegan in San Francisco

[Forgiven_Sinner]

The Guardian's view on Ann's book is that her logic is "tendentious". After looking up the word, I agree. Still, I enjoy reading the Guardian; I always feel like I'm going through the looking glass where up is down and good is evil.

[randog]

This guy sounds more than a little alarmed that us morons are reading these books.

[protest1]

Hopefully we will now see more of good books like these in the UK... and the sooner the better.

[Humidston]

Ann Coulter and Michael Savage - feeding raw bloody meat to all of us brownshirted, fascist, gun-toting, homophobic, child-beating hate mongers in the U.S.

Ahhhhh, the Brits are just sooooo civilized.

/sarcasm

[nothingnew]

Hillary Clinton's autobiography leads this month's US bestseller lists...

Where?

"Lawrence Donegan in San Francisco." I guess it's still #1 somewhere larry donginagain.

"...Fox News Network, whose slogan is 'fair and balanced' yet is anything but."

And identifying Fox News as "Rupert Murdoch's" is "fair and balanced" Mr. Lawrenth?

Bleedin' poofter.

[jackbill]

As we speak, Treason is #9 on Amazon. Hillary's is #21.

[freeangel]

Let's not forget Michelle Malkin and her views on ILLEGALS.

>>This guy sounds more than a little alarmed that us morons are reading these books.<<

How many times does he write "right wing"?

Ann explains the left-wing publishing world's attitude towards conservatives in her previous best-seller "Slander".

It, too, is tendentious, also sometimes a bit unfocussed, but highly accurate and a great read.

The author sounds like he wrote this with a gun to his head. You could "feel his pain" in every written word...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!

[Ole Okie]

Somehow he forgot Rush's two massive best-sellers, "The Way Things Ought To Be" and "See, I Told You So".

These two books more or less kicked things off insofar as publishers' seeing that there may be gold in them thar Conservatives.

[Bigg Red]

Just one of the many misrepresentations:

...Unlimited Access, the memoirs of an FBI agent who claimed that he saw the former President's alleged infidelities.

Aldrich claimed no such thing.

[RobbyS]

A liberal uses "tendentious" to mean the other guy. They would never admit that this applies to BBC's reporting.

[KittyKares]

At last the publishers are recognizing us. Maybe bookstores will come around, too. I got so tired of walking into bookstores and seeing multiple covers of Hillary staring at me. (I felt like a fly.) Yet many conservative titles are tucked away out of sight.

[Libertarian444]

A liberal uses "tendentious" to mean the other guy. They would never admit that this applies to BBC's reporting.

Or books by Michael Moore, Molly Ivins, Alterman, Chomsky, et al...

[AgThorn]

According to Amazon, Coulter's "TREASON" is #10, while Hitlery's "Lies" is #23.

[pierrem15]

You left out wife-beating!

[Rubber Duck]

tendentious- Marked by a strong implicit point of view; partisan: a tendentious account of the recent elections.

[NeoCaveman]

In 1960 Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative was a surprise bestseller, and it provided the starting point for his disastrous 1964 presidential campaign.

By use of this term it's clear that this joker never read Slander. To paraphrase: every best selling conservative book is a "suprise best seller"

...Unlimited Access, the memoirs of an FBI agent who claimed that he saw the former President's alleged infidelities.

Aldrich claimed no such thing.

And a great book. I think I loaned mine to someone. I need to get a new copy.
