“The immutable fact of politics in America is this: liberals hate conservatives.”Ann Coulter, whose examination of the Clinton impeachment was a major national bestseller and earned widespread praise, now takes on an even tougher issue. At a time when Democrats and Republicans should be overwhelmingly congenial, American political debate has become increasingly hostile, overly personal, and insufferably trivial. Whether conducted in Congress or on the political talk shows, played out at dinners or cocktail parties, politics is a nasty sport.At the risk of giving away the ending: Its all liberals fault.Cultlike in their behavior, vicious in their attacks on Republicans, and in almost complete control of mainstream national media, the left has been merciless in portraying all conservatives as dumb, racist, power hungry, homophobic, and downright scary. This despite the many Republican accomplishments of the last few decades, as well as the Bush administrations expert handling of the countrys affairs in the wake of the worst attacks on American soil and of the war that followed.With incisive reasoning and meticulous research, Ann Coulter examines the events and personalities that have shaped modern political discourse—the bickering, backstabbing, and name-calling that have made cultural mountains out of partisan molehills. She demonstrates how the media, especially, are biased—and usually wrongheaded—and have done all in their power to obfuscate the issues and the people behind them, bending over backward to villainize and belittle the right, while rarely missing an opportunity to praise the left.Perhaps if conservatives had had total control over every major means of news dissemination for a quarter century, they would have forgotten how to debate, too, and would just call liberals stupid and mean. But thats an alternative universe. In this universe, the public square is wall-to-wall liberal propaganda.Refreshingly honest and unerringly timely, Slander continues where Bernard Goldbergs number one bestselling Bias left off.
Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right by Ann Coulter is a powerful and provocative book that exposes the systematic campaign of character assassination waged against conservatives by the liberal media and political establishment.
With her signature wit and insight, Coulter skewers the left's attempts to demonize conservatives as racists, bigots, and warmongers. She documents how liberals have used their control of the media to distort the truth, silence dissent, and promote a false narrative about the American right.
