MY REVIEW OF "SLANDER".
External link:
My review of Ann Coulter's horrible book, Slander, has several links to it from three different blogs by Dr. Rush Limerick, that I've just learned of.
Liberally Lying About Liberals is a great collection of Web resources about the book, among which I'm quite honored to be included.
My review is also cited in his untitled, well-researched collection of factual errors in the book.
Finally, I am quoted in Dr. Limerick: The Blog.
The most salient part of the article for Dr. Limerick seems to be this paragraph, which I think is also my favorite, just because it is such a black-and-white example of the book's distortion of the truth:
Here's another great example of how she [Ann Coulter] twists the facts. I don't have the page right in front of me, but in her attempt to portray the New York Times as left-wing, she says that because they have been endorsing Democrats, it's been more than a quarter of a century since the New York Times endorsed a presidential candidate who has won a majority of the popular vote. Now, I'll take Coulter's word that that's true. But, of course, it's been more than 13 of those 25 years, since any presidential candidate won a majority of the popular vote, and in every one of those presidential elections, The New York Times endorsed the candidate who got the largest percentage of the popular vote.
