Product Description
“Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as ‘citing facts,’ is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that’s when I feel truly alive.”
So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter’s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.
Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that “She’s gone too far!” and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.
Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you’ll read Coulter’s take on:
• Her politics: “As far as I’m concerned, I’m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.”
• Hillary Clinton: “Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.”
• The environment: “God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’”
• Religion: “It’s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.”
• Global warming: “The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it’s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it’s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!”
• Gun control: “Mass murderers apparently can’t read, since they are constantly shooting up ‘gun-free zones.’”
• Bill Clinton: “Bill Clinton’s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.”
• Illegal aliens: “I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.”
If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter.

 If you like obvious, one sided humor, this one's for you October 7, 2007

since i first registered to vote in the 70s i've been an independent, but i find coulter's writing (if you can call it that) thin, obvious and as blatantly biased as the people she claims to be defending us from. i know this seems TERRIBLY corny to all you liberal haters, but two wrongs DON'T make a right, so constructing an allegedly intellectual discussion by slinging low blows and one liners at the opposition just makes Coulter look like what she is - the Paris Hilton of the conservative set, someone who's famous merely for being famous. if you think this book - or any of her poorly thought out writings - constitutes a serious political discussion, you're dumber than Coulter (who's laughing all the way to the bank and wouldn't be caught DEAD having lunch at the local diner with the likes of pickup truck NASCAR republicans).
 Laughing Out Loud! October 4, 2007

I agree with the reviewer who said that reading a book should be required prior to reviewing it, and I would bet that some of the 1 star raters have merely reacted to the name Ann Coulter and the so-called mainstream media.
Ms. Coulter calls them like she sees them, and I laughed out loud at so many of her quotations. She doesn't hesitate to go straight to the heart of any matter, and if you don't agree with her, that's your entitlement. But she must be doing something right to be asked for so many interviews (although most colleges deny her the right to free speech with their attacks) and each book a bestseller.
I think she has another winner!
Not a real book: buy her other works November 9, 2007

I'm probably Ann's biggest fan, but this is not a real book. It is a collection of quotations from her earlier books and other sources. While the idea of providing her enemies a reference volume so they can quote her more accurately is fun, it makes for dull reading. The best parts are the introductions to each section that are new materal.
Is this all Republicans have? October 7, 2007

Once again, Ann Coulter uses baseless ad hominem attacks to justify her political polemics, which proves her arguments weak and her thoughts superficial.
I actually read this book! October 9, 2007

When I perused some of the negative reviews of this book, I had the sneaking suspicion that most of those "reviewers" got nowhere near the book, let alone read much, if any, of it! That's actually normal for any book released by a noted conservative author. As soon as it comes out, the liberal "spin machine" goes into action and denigrates it, hoping that the reading public is too stupid to see the political agenda behind the negativity. Luckily, there is still a large segment of American society that likes to make up its own mind, and doesn't need the poohbahs at [...] and such to tell it what is good to read, and what is not. Left up to themselves, these upholders of "liberal" values would stage mass book-burnings, as we saw in the '30s and '40s in Europe. Sure, Ann may not have opinions that meet everyone's notion of actuality, but she has just as much right to publish them as Chris Matthews has the right to call the Bush administration "criminal". I don't see conservatives howling for Matthews' removal from television, as those paragons of righteousness did for Bill O'Reilly's removal for a statement clearly taken out of context. And what about the General Betray us ad? It's venal and patently untrue, but where was the big outcry by the "freedom of speech" crowd against it? A strange silence. People like Ann are necessary to counteract the "vast left wing conspiracy" (sorry, Hillary), and to give other points of view. Even I don't always agree with her, but I'm not tossing her books on the burn pile!
