Amazon.com Review This forceful, sarcastic, and often hilarious book offers tips on arguing with liberals, which include the following: don't be defensive, always outrage the enemy, and never apologize to, compliment, or show graciousness to a Democrat. Welcome to the world according to Ann Coulter. Ever combative, Coulter is unafraid to court controversy or confront her detractors head-on, whether they are mainstream journalists and talk-show hosts who have misquoted her without apology or "weak and frightened conservatives" craving liberal approval. Though the writing is often over-the-top, the book if full of one-liners that will delight conservatives, such as "the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents' home, get a job, and start paying taxes." But there is more here than just insults and countless jabs at Bill Clinton, and even her most devoted readers will find much new material in the book. Largely a collection of her syndicated columns from the past decade, How to Talk to a Liberal also includes columns that were never released or were rejected by editors--in Coulter's words, "what you could have read if you lived in a free country." --Shawn Carkonen Amazon.com Exclusive Content Ann Coulter on Election 2004 Ann Coulter has become a fixture among the country's leading conservative pundits with her take-no-prisoners approach making for controversial headline copy. She speaks out about Election 2004 in our exclusive interview. Ann Coulter's Significant Seven Ann Coulter kindly agreed to take the life quiz we like to give to all our authors: the Amazon Significant Seven. Read her answers here.
Product Description Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental bestsellers Treason, Slander, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in years—and certainly the most controversial. Now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong.
In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, “Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it’s all true.” How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) offers Coulter’s unvarnished take on:
•The essence of being a liberal: “The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.”
•John Kerry: “A reporter asked Kerry, ‘Are you for or against gay marriage?’ As usual, his answer was, ‘Yes.’ ”
•Her 9/11 comments: “I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!”
•The state of the Democratic Party: “Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party’s spiritual leader.”
•Her philosophy for arguing with liberals: “Tough love, except I don’t love them. My ‘tough love’ approach is much like the Democrats’ ‘middle-class tax cuts’—everything but the last word.”
•The “Treason Lobby”: “Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States.”
In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you’ll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publish—“what you could have read if you lived in a free country,” says Coulter. How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter’s commentary has achieved must-read status.

“Ann Coulter is a trailblazer.”--Los Angeles Times Book Review
“She can zing one-liners faster than Zeus can throw lightning bolts.”--Kansas City Star
“You know those pundits who bore you to tears trying to balance everyone’s point of view? Coulter isn’t one.”--People
“A great deal of research supports Ms. Coulter’s wisecracks.”--New York Times
“The conservative movement has found its diva.”--Bill Maher
“Ann Coulter is a pundit extraordinaire.”--Rush Limbaugh

I love this book! Silly lil' Liberals... September 22, 2008 I love this book! I just think it's so funny that most of the posters on here are Liberals. The truth hurts doesn't it? LOL. People only get mad about things that hit too close to home...so it looks she must have struck a few nerves. I think the reason why you guys get so mad is b/c you know that there is nothing your pathetic comebacks and insults can do to bother her. Not to mention that people only resort to petty insults and name calling when they themselves are called out or are backed into a corner. This is awesome. As we've always known, it just continues to prove that Liberals are truly angry, hateful people. Hah hah!
The Truth September 16, 2008 Enemies of America, domestic, first of all, never had any arguments to begin with. Here this lady doen't leave "stone upon stone" of any of their "ideas".
desperate but not serious July 9, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
As of 07/08/08 this book is selling for $.45 (as of 07/10/08 she has gone down to $.31, oh I meant the book or did I refer to the fact she might be paralleling the dow index? On 07/12/08 the book is $ .23 oh no she goes down for the third time and so does the Dow! ) gee what a deal. Wow now she is only worth $.13 on 07/13/08 and another book is coming out from Ms. popularity and the $1.00 store probably can't even sell that one either . I hope it's on recyclable paper this time around. Sounds like a date with disaster, and you thought that was safe. Too bad I had already read it and wished I had not but you know curiosity it's just like gravity, always there (at least I had been given a copy as a joke now that I remember).
Now Ann's mother is probably going to grab up all the copies at this price before it changes for her daughter's legacy (just like Bush's mother would do). Something only a mother might think of and maybe old Barb will get together with her and do some internet shopping and do lunch. It's almost 2 for $1.00 depending on your state ( or state of mind).
Some people might find this book humorous some dis-tasteful but for those of you that found it obnoxious as I have, use it in good taste and take the pages of this book to line the bottom of your cat-box, compost or for t.p. (although it is scratchy but effective let's be "green or whatever") for what it's worth.
The same people that find Timothy McVey funny and 9-11 deserving, the widows of 9-11 pathetic and the parent-less children of the same tragedy just innocent casaulties of war will worship this book. Just remember we have free speech in the U.S.. I'm positive she (A.C.) thought that WMD's really existed and Rumsfeld was a hero. As long as she is pleased with herself and her readers are as well they are entitled to an opinion and exhibit free speech in the U.S. whatever it may be, right or wrong in anyones eyes.
Republicans put on that ridiculous simpleton grin and lie, cheat, and get caught while just continuing to argue, argue and argue for the sake of arguing and never make a point.
Maybe in her case she needs some new industrial strength batteries.
07/18/18...$.04 How low can she go? (or stoop) 07/19/08 line up right wingers now is your chance while you can get it for a penny!
I actually read the book May 23, 2008 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R224FEPDV6YT2Z Coulter's right, liberals really do lie. The first lie liberals tell is that they are not really liberal, but that hardly stands up to much scrutiny, because a true liberal will throw a tantrum once their "facts" are revealed to be opinions.
That said, Coulter is witty, factual and constructs a convincing case for dealing with the mental disorder called liberalism.
Right wing rant? May 22, 2008 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was amused by some reviewers labelling this book as a 'right-wing rant'. Well, it certainly is a rant (and yes, a funny rant), but right-wing ... c'on! Coulter's just plain confused.
