Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America

Written by Ann Coulter

Narrated by Ann Coulter

“Liberals seem to have hit upon a reverse Christ story as their belief system. He suffered and died for our sins; liberals make the rest of us suffer for sins we didn’t commit.”

Who are the victims here? To hear liberals tell it, you’d think they do nothing but suffer at the hands of ruthless entities like the “Republican Attack Machine” and Fox News.

Really?

It’s just another instance of the Big Lie, of course, told so often that some people have actually started to believe it. In Guilty, Ann Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. Citing case after case, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the shockingly vicious, Coulter dissects these so-called victims who are invariably the oppressors. For instance:

•Single mothers: Getting pregnant isn’t like catching the flu. There are volitional acts involved–someone else explain it to Dennis Kucinich. By this purposeful act, single mothers cause irreparable harm to other human beings–their own children–as countless studies on the subject make clear.

•The myth of the Republican Attack Machine: The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It’s so mad, it’s brilliant. It’s one kind of lie to say the Holocaust occurred when the Swedes killed the Jews. But it’s another kind of lie entirely to say the Holocaust occurred when the Jews killed the Nazis.

•“Brave” liberals: In addition to being beautiful, compassionate tribunes of the downtrodden, liberals are brave. I know that because they’re always telling me how brave they are. Why, five nights a week, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann courageously books guests who completely agree with him. It doesn’t get much braver than that.

•Obambi’s luck: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates’ ­families, his media and campaign surrogates ripped open the court-sealed divorce records of his two principal opponents in his Senate race in Illinois.

•The offenders are offended!: Republican senator George Allen’s career was destroyed when he made a joking remark to a privileged Indian American harassing him at campaign stops. When did rich kids become a new protected category that must be shielded from words that are insulting in other languages? How did Sidarth become a specially anointed victim? What did we ever do to India? And why didn’t we ever hear about the far more offensive anti-Semitic flyers of Allen’s opponent Jim Webb?

One essential and recurring truth about self-righteous liberals, says Coulter, is that “they viciously attack all while wailing that they are the true victims.” With Guilty–a mordantly witty and shockingly specific catalog of offenses that liberals would rather we ignore and forget–Ann Coulter presents exhibits A through Z.

Not funny...sad & pathetic...nice to enjoy the 1st Amendment.

The author has no trouble telling it like it is and that's exactly what she does in this book. While a lot of people might not like her abrasive style, they would be hard pressed to argue her points. She makes lots of claims but backs them up with plenty of facts - some of which will simply astonish you if you aren't already aware... Heck, if you are aware. Definitely worth the read.

Again, I agree with Ann Coulter almost all the time. And, hell, I think she's funny, though she can be a smidge mean-spirited at times. And most liberals can't take a joke. And she's brilliant, and one heck of a researcher, especially with ol' Lexis-Nexis. She makes a good point that liberals like to play the victim,a point which she proves endlessly. And she compares, as most conservative commentators do, how conservatives and liberals are treated differently by the media. A: "Ms. Palin, how do you see the Bush Doctrine?" B: "So when you got the nomination, Senator Obama, you must have been thinking of your parents? Right?" Really? And Coulter has received most of the vitriol from the media on her one chapter on "single mothers." But, most of those people did not read the book, much less the chapter. She makes a good point. Namely: single mothers "are not only 'unsung heroines,' as the title of a recent book puts it, they are perennial victims - the unwitting victims of sex with men they're not married to." Which is true? Sure, a man is involved, but when women "won" the "right" to have sex before marriage with anyone they pleased, they also won the responsibilities that go with it, namely: to not get pregnant. So why do they complain?

But, read the book and find out. If you can find it cheaply, get it.
