Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental bestsellers Treason, Slander, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in years—and certainly the most controversial. Now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong.
In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, “Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it’s all true.” How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) offers Coulter’s unvarnished take on:
•The essence of being a liberal: “The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.”
•John Kerry: “A reporter asked Kerry, ‘Are you for or against gay marriage?’ As usual, his answer was, ‘Yes.’ ”
•Her 9/11 comments: “I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!”
•The state of the Democratic Party: “Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party’s spiritual leader.”
•Her philosophy for arguing with liberals: “Tough love, except I don’t love them. My ‘tough love’ approach is much like the Democrats’ ‘middle-class tax cuts’—everything but the last word.”
•The “Treason Lobby”: “Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States.”
In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you’ll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publish—“what you could have read if you lived in a free country,” says Coulter. How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter’s commentary has achieved must-read status.

"An eye opener for sure. Think of her what you might, she can write and she knows what she's talking about. No punches pulled in this very sharp and biting examination of why anyone who is currently a liberal, may want to reconsider their position."

— Rush LimbaughNo one on the right is so iconic. . . . The officialdom of punditry, so full of phonies and dullards, would suffer without her humor and fire.
— Time magazine, in a cover story" No, I'm sorry, I can't even read it. Too much sarcasm; not enough content. And what is she wearing? Nothing like a navy leather vest to say "bitch on wheels." "
— Ama, 2/14/2014" Really liked the beginning - got a bit lost in the rantings near the middle - and by the end I was ready to put it down. It's great in chapter chunks, but I wouldn't recommend reading it in one evening. It's tempting to set some brands on fire and go torch the foxes of injustice. (See the Samson story in the Bible [Judges 15] for further clarification.) "
— Linda, 2/6/2014" Funny, but one sided. She does her research, only half of it though. "
— Holly, 2/5/2014" She is by far one of the most Conservative women I've ever read. This was during my republican days, but she's funny at times... and sad at others. "
— Laura, 2/4/2014" Love it! Brilliant tongue-in-cheek repartee to controversial issues of the day. Coulter for President! "
— Sandra, 1/28/2014" sorry piece of horseshit "
— Andy, 1/22/2014" i find her writing style extremely entertaining, and her observations extremely precise "
— Kevin, 1/22/2014" Read 6/17/06 "
— Ron, 1/21/2014" It was funny as a gag gift, but her columns are bad enough standalone. Reading them back to back highlights all the logical flaws and incongruous positions. "
— Andy, 1/20/2014" Hey, remember that time I read this book as a joke and it was the worst ever? "
— Amber, 1/14/2014" Ann describes what is best about the freedoms of America included this quip, "the constitution affords you the right to be an idiot." "
