I wanted to hate this book, I really did. Sometimes we get our wishes. While I agree with some of her more general points (such as that liberals and conservatives don't get along) she did nothing less than engage in the same behavior for which she chastises the Democrats.

Primarily name calling. Though I agree that some men are most accurately described as "penis-heads" {page 121} I question her use of the hyphen. Penishead? Penis head? Penis-head? This was one of the things I found most thought provoking in the 200+ page book. Someone go get my AP style handbook, will you?

Some of the words that appear in the pages of Slander seem inappropriate to use in a book intended to be taken seriously.

But a serious book it is not,

"Another way liberals think women should be like men is in the relentless pursuit of casual sex. Of all the fictional devices used by Hollywood, the rampant promiscuity of beautiful women is the most ludicrous.... Casts of entire shows ought to have the clap by now" {page 28}

More fun than a night at a comedy club. At least for me. Most jokes in our universe consist of a set up and a punchline which wraps it up. The conclusion of the book was no more conclusive than the first chapter of the book. But liberal, conservative or nihilist...Coulter's set ups are good for a laugh just don't expect many punchlines.

When I turned the last page of Slander I felt kind of tipsy and much like a night spent with sorority sisters it was a long meandering journey without any real direction.
