Finally! A new book by Ann! No details yet, but June 6, 2006 cannot arrive sooner. I would post a picture of Ann, but I'm new here and don't know how. Will someone (1)tell me how, and (2) post the picture where Ann's at the firing range in the meantime. Thanks and here's to Ann!
Me too. This may sound improbable, but "Treason" changed my political life. When I read her book, her account of McCarthy was indeed so diametrically opposed to anything I had ever heard about him, I thought "Okay...someone isn't telling the truth here.
So, I investigated. I began reading all the books I could find of that era, beginning with "Witness" and currently I am reading the Radosh books "Red Star over Hollywood". I just finished David Horowitz's book "Radical Son".
I even went to the Library of Congress and got copies of the transcripts of the McCarthy hearings.
In particular, I wanted to see for myself if Coulter was accurate of her portrayal with the encounter with Joseph Welch with the famous line: "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
I just could not believe everything I had been told growing up in school, and by the media, and by PBS was so far off. So I read the entire transcript of that day, including the exchange.
And you know what? Ann Coulter's version was spot on. She was right. Everything I have been told about McCarthy was a "hegemonic lie", as she suggested.
So, all the textbooks lied. Walter Cronkite and his pals lied. My teachers lied (although many, I suspect may have been equally as misinformed as myself)
As a result, I now view every piece of news I see with unaccepting discriminaton. And I thank Ann Coulter for that.
She does indeed have quite a vocabulary, and well used, too!
bttt
Yep. God bless her for having more balls than any ten Republicans you could name.
Sadly, if our side doesn't get control of "history" the texts will someday teach our grand-children that Reagan was a lucky moron, that Dubya allowed blacks to drown in New Orleans deliberately, and that Ann Coulter was Eva Braun's grand-daughter.
Ann Ping for you :)
Bump

Am I the only one to notice that the book comes out on 06/06/06...it's the mark of the beast! Ann Coulter is the anti-Christ!!!! (Hey, who are those guys in the white coats coming through my kitchen???)
Just kidding, my daughter's birthday is June 6!
She does indeed have quite a vocabulary, and well used, too!
Yes, I have utilized her words in discussions with some of the idiotic local Democrats where I live. They don't have a clue and I love it.
LoL....
Ann Coulter.. is what William F. Buckley tried to be but wasn't..
He was too pedantic.. and narcissistic...
