Synopsis

“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: It’s 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 administration’s expert handling of the country’s 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 that’s an alternative universe. In this universe, the public square is wall-to-wall liberal propaganda.

Refreshingly honest and unerringly timely, Slander continues where Bernard Goldberg’s number one bestselling Bias left off.

Ann had the privilege of having varying experiences, such as visiting her older brother in New York City, after her parents had moved to Connecticut. He had her read books on Conservatism, then quizzed her on them. If she passed the quiz, he took her bar hopping with his friends. She was 14 years old at the time.

Ann attended Cornell University where she helped found The Cornell Review......she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in history, and received her Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School, and was editor of the Michigan Law Review. She was also President of the local chapter of the Federalist Society. She later served as a law clerk on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The highlight of her career though has been publishing twelve books that have been on the New York Times best seller list. Her public appearances include television and radio talk shows, and talking on college campuses. She speaks about modern Conservatism, and the hypocrisy of modern American Liberalism. Her books include: In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome; Adios America-Never Trust a Liberal Over Three; How to Talk to a Liberal-If You Must; Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, and several others.
