RE the lack of major book reviews for Coulter’s works. Join the crowd. A book I worked on, “Unfit for Command”, never got reviewed by the Wash. Post or New York Times, though the Times attacked it through one of their hack cultural writers.
It sold out, over 700,000 copies, more like 800,000, without a major book review, and knocked John Kerry’s presidential ambitions right into the crapper.
How do you say “Bay Hap River”, John?
One thing the Left doesn’t understand about normal people, is that “we common folk” stick together, esp. those of us from Vietnam. Using the internet and word-of-mouth, hundreds of thousands of vets were told about the book and this had a ripple effect to their families, friends, colleagues, etc.
The same applies to Coulter’s works, esp. with the availability of Fox Cable TV, its various shows, and talk-radio.
It is no wonder that the Left, thru Comrade Genochowski (FCC) and Free Press, want to control the internet thru “net neutrality” (the marxists wrote the original concept of controlling the internet). They realized, like Orwell, that a real “free press” was the enemy of the totalitarians (Stalinists, Castroites, Chavezistas, and Obamites), but it allowed others to express their opinions and share their experiences without interference or censorship (which the print media exercised with glee).
I was one of the founders of Accuracy in Media back in the late 60’s, and we found out first hand how the MSM could censor opposing views by blocking access to their “letters to the editor” and “Opinion” pages. That was why AIM was founded, to get around this blockade of opposing views.
What Ann Coulter, Bernie Goldberg, Michael Medved, Ben Stein, Media Research Center, Andrew Breitbart and others have done, is to run this “blockade” at full speed, and in Ann’s case, to sink all ships and take no prisoners. Nothing wrong with that.
We are in a war for the survival of America’s freedom and, in the larger picture, the survival of the western world/freedom. Just take a look at the world’s map today and you can see that freedom is taking it on the chin big-time, and is declining faster than Anthony Weiner’s career did.
George Orwell knew well about what he wrote. I hope people read “1984” and “Animal Farm” before it is too late.
Thanks to Coulter and the other conservative/liberatian writers, many eyes have been opened to what is going on her in America and around the world. They are the next generation of the “Committees of Correspondence” from colonial times, the new “Paul Reveres”, shouting and printing out warnings of the approaching enemy. (PS: Sarah Palin was basically correct). I hope Americans listen and read what they have to say.
Our future depends on it.

Tim and I said it like this:
Your post is right on and thank you for your work with AIM. Not all soldiers for freedom are in a shooting war. We are losing the war at home, not on the battlefield, just like in Vietnam.
