A conservative professor in tweed could produce a well documented, exact tome pointing out all the errors and omissions of past history. It would go no where. Few would read it: Make no impact.

Actually a conservative professor in tweed *did* do that. His name is Arthur Herman and he wrote a biography of Joe McCarthy that makes a similiar attempt to rehabilitate the late senator. And you're right...it probably hasn't sold as many copies in it's publication history as Treason did in it's first week.

That said, I like Herman's book better. He's a little more willing to show McCarthy's flaws than Coulter is and is thus a little more credible. For instance, he talks about Whittaker Chamber's negative view of McCarthy and Ann Coulter omits that. It is a more nuanced treatment.

But then complaining about a lack of nuance in Ann Coulter's books is a little like complaining about a lack of pork chops in a kosher deli.

BTW, since my last post, I went to Costco for lunch (love the pizza slices), and can report that Treason is almost gone, maybe 20 copies left, and the Hildebeast's tome is available in multiple huge stacks that appear virtually untouched.

I of course took the opportunity to place a couple copies -of Treason on top of a couple of the Hillary stacks ;-D

Have you read TREASON? It is NOT a biography of McCarthy as Herman's book is. She just uses McCarthism as one element of how the left has embraced socialism/communism.

In her acknowledgment she thanks ..."M. Staton Evens, the world's leading authority on Senator Joseph McCarthy, who gave me---gratis---original research for my BRIEF version of a topic he will cover in meticulous detail in his forthcoming book..."

Ann doesn't claim to be the "utmost authority". She's a polemicist, who researches her wisecracks! She's a cartoon. Like Madonna, Dolly Parton, she is aware of her attributes and markets it. She's getting the message out to the less studious American.
