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.

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

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

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.

"...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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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"
To: Forgiven_Sinner
Goldwater's "disastrous" campaign was mainly due to the capping of JFK, and Lyndon's Daisy nuke ad.
Good post - thanks.

...heading Penguin's attempt to exploit the trend. 'We have several imprints that serve the Left, but none that serves people who are coming from the Right
And yet there are those who deny that there is bias in the media. That the librarians, editors, and even the people who compile the "best seller" lists are liberals and use their politics in their decisions is not "proof" that there is bias. Whatever...

A classic use of the word:
"I have seen the Khmer Rouge and they are not killing anyone...Wars nourish brutality and sadism and sometimes certain people are executed by the victors but it would be tendentious to forecast such abnormal behavior as a national policy under a communist government once the war is over."
-- Sidney Schanberg. New York Times. Shortly before Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge took power and murdered between one and two million Cambodians.
