Have you ever read an Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity book?

[Clintonista2]

I've read "how to talk to a liberal (if you must)." I find it interesting in the same way I find Mein Kampf interesting- seeing into the mind of a psychopath.

1. I'd sooner gouge my eyes out with a dull butter knife.

[jlake]

2. Yes, I read "Treason" when it first came out.

I was really not impressed. Looked like several internet rants strung together with the heavy aid of a thesaurus.

[Bicoastal]

3. Interesting...what did it teach you?

Is it all an act, or does she really hate hate HATE liberals, progressives, Democrats, etc--as much as she pretends to?

[Clintonista2]

9. She likes to rant ALOT, it gets really boring

4. I'd rather drink bleach.

[jlake]

6. It would be a more pleasant experience.

:rofl:

[Metric System]

5. I'm proud to say never.

[Seen the light]

7. I've read many of them

But then again, I'm one of the resident converted Freepers on DU. :hi:

[Bicoastal]

12. Cool! I've never gotten to talk to a converted Republican before...

...what turned you around?

[Seen the light]

16. I'll try to dig up the post about it

Or I'll send you a pm about it (about to go to sleep right now).

It's a long journey with scary twists, but it ultimately has a happy ending.

8. No, but I watched someone read one on a train once.

It was frightening and fascinating in a person who looked otherwise perfectly average.

[NMMNG]

10. No

But having worked in book stores I've had to touch my fair share. That's bad enough. :scared:

[Lithos]

11. Does one and a half chapters count?

Doctor's office, someone had left it there. Seemed formulaic along the lines of a bad romance novel. I guess you could have called it mental masturbation for xenophobes who can't accept responsibility for their own actions. Put it down and picked up a two year old copy of Child Life which was much more intelligently written.

13. i would rather eat ground glass. nt

[HughMoran]

14. Just the existence of this poll makes me sick to my stomach

yikes!

[0007]

15. I'd leave this world first. I can't understand why any one would want to

read a book from these two morans.

[libodem]

17. I tried

reading an ex-boyfriend's copy of one of Coulter's books and it was so toxic and hateful I couldn't get through more than a few pages. It made me feel poisoned.

[AlCzervik]

18. the closet thing to a book written by a conservative i've read was "American Dynasty"

by Kevin Phillips. I am in no way lumping him in with those fools you mentioned but thats as close as i've come, Phillip's book is excellent btw, it is the who's who of the Pierce/Bush clan.

big thumbs up from me.

19. What abou Bill-O?

I tried to read a Bill-O book and got through the first 30 pages before I felt sick. He's promoting blatant lies and people believe their facts. For example, he calls Leiberman a moderate Democrat. Ok, except Leiberman became independent and has back McCain, so that would make him a conservative. Also, Bill-O has this future State of the Union address by President Gloria Hernandez (which is blatantly racist). He goes on to discuss that Democrats promote a "wealth cap" of 15 million for all Americans and all greater assets are reclaimed by the state. This is ridiculous because no Democrats are promoting any form of communism, but now Bill-O has put the idea out there.

[Donk Yore]

20. Hell damn

shit fuck no.

[Marr]

21. I've skimmed several.

I don't know how anyone could read the whole thing-- they're garbage. Even if you take the political ideology out of them, they're just unresearched, illogical, poorly written, almost completely unstructured garbage. The Hannity and Coulter books I've perused have literally read like transcribed radio rants.

I did notice a pattern emerge in the two chapters of some Hannity book I skimmed. He begins by describing some totally trivial act by a supposed liberal. For instance: a brief facial expression. He then extrapolates all kinds of things from this minor incident; their thoughts, their motives, what they think of Sean Hannity, etc. He then segues into how terrible that mindset is, and finishes by suggesting that the person in question is destroying the United States.

He balances one ridiculous assumption on top of another, over and over. It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but focussed on linking a random non-Conservative with the destruction of the USA, mom, and her apple pie. It's ludicrous from top to bottom.

22. I don't care for children's books. nm

[LiberalFighter]

23. If I had I wouldn't had saved any money or been able to retire

[colonel odis]

24. i usually hide them in the bookstore

put another book over them .... turn the covers around .... if i were to piss on them, i'd probably get in trouble. so i stick with the little things.

[jonnyblitz]

25. I read Treason by Ms Coulter. I get RW books from the library.

the one by Laura Ingraham,"Shut Up and Sing" I also read from the library. :scared: :scared:

[lpbk2713]

26. I went to my local Dollar Store recently.

Everything there costs a dollar, hence the name. They had books there authored by

Coultergeist, Hannity and OxyRush, no Lib or Dem authors. That gave me a chuckle.

It told me their books are so bad they almost have to GIVE them away.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Vogon_Glory]

27. Seriously, They Probably DO Have To Give Them Away

Seriously, despite "Conservative" hype about how well books by the Coulter creature, Shammity, O'Loofah, and the Savage Weiner are selling, the Cons literally HAVE to give their copies away. Conservative political groups buy these scribblers' works in big lots and mail them off to the faithful. That inflates "sales" figures, so the wingie-dingies can "claim" that their works are best-sellers.

Recently, some of the right wingie-dingie authors like "Swiftboat" Corsi have become aware of the disparity between the number of books purportedly sold or distributed and their authorial royalties. They're currently suing Regnery and other wingie-dingie publishers.

:nopity: :rofl: :rofl:

28. Love the videos in your post ...

who said republicans couldn't dance??? (although Rush's dance might just be a drug-induced tic).
