Book Reviews of Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America
Book Review: Informative, thought-provoking, well researched work...
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book that, like her others, is red meat for the choir and provides, for those who can think critically, powerful arguments that provide credible reasons to rethink some previous understandings you thought were settled. Why would anyone want to read some milquetoast's equivocations of today's competing philosophical positions? Ann doesn't waste your time, but instead goes from one issue to the next to lay the foundation for her thesis: that liberals use claims of victimization to make real victims of innocent people. This game should be seen for what it is and the guilty parties should be exposed and stopped.
I actually gained a new perspective on the Cuban Missle Crisis. I had previously only known the general tale about the crisis. It had made Kennedy look like a hero for keeping/removing nuclear missles out of Cuba. However, if one steps back and looks at the before and after to see which side advanced their goals and which side lost, she says the USA lost under Kennedy. The Soviets had two victories: 1) They secured Fidel's position in Cuba. 2) They got the USA to remove military installations from Turkey. The USA only had a draw, which was to keep nuclear missiles out of Cuba. So, Soviet aggression was rewarded under Kennedy. Isn't the goal of foreign policy to advance the cause of your own country, or at least to maintain it's relative strength in a world that's dominated by the aggressive use of force? (Yes, I realize this is debatable, for there is a surging line of thought that actually seeks to undermine the USA's standing in the world, but that's another story.)
Lastly, I'd like to refer you to those who give this book a 1 Star. I love reading these comments because, as is usual, all the 1 star reviews are full of sprurious arguments that don't relate to what the book is actually about. If it really makes liberals mad, it's more likely to be worthwhile to read. One reviewer incorrectly characterized Ann's position, then debunked the mischaracterization. This is an often used tactic of these people. They are often ill-informed and dim-witted, but they are very crafty with this technique. The reviewer incorrectly claimed that Ann said that Nixon's use of the FBI to spy on enemies greatly exceeded previous administrations. Then, the reviewer tried to list facts that made this claim impossible. However, that's not what she wrote. Ann wrote, "The sort of skullduggery for which Nixon was crucified was standard practice in modern politics. Presidents Roosevelt, Kennedy, & Johnson had used the FBI & justice department to harass their enemies and tap their phones, often with the gleeful connivance of the media." and she then goes on to give examples of press & presidential bugging operations. Now, why one would claim that Ann wrote that "Nixon did it more" rather than her true position that it was "standard practice" is either because the reviewer was purposefully trying to misrepresent or he is just plain stupid.
Summary of Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America
Who are the victims here?To hear liberals tell it, you?d think they do nothing but suffer at the hands of ruthless entities like the ?Republican Attack Machine? and Fox News.
Really?
It?s just another instance of the Big Lie, of course. In Guilty, Ann Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. For instance:
? The myth of the Republican Attack Machine: The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It?s so mad, it?s brilliant.
? ?Brave? liberals: In addition to being beautiful, compassionate tribunes of the downtrodden, liberals are brave. I know that because they?re always telling me how brave they are.
? Obambi?s luck: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates? families, his media and campaign surrogates ripped open the court-sealed divorce records of his two principal opponents in his Senate race in Illinois.
One recurring truth about liberals, says Coulter, is that ?they viciously attack all while wailing that they are the true victims.? With Guilty?a shockingly specific catalog of offenses that liberals would rather we forget?Ann Coulter presents exhibits A through Z.
