God I love them. Chalk full of liberals. Its just so fun to go in there. Since the recent discussion of Ann Coulter on this site I decided to pick up Slander: Liberal Lies About The American Right as well as Sean Hannity's Let Freedom Ring: Winning The War Of Liberty Over Liberalism. So I put them on hold over the internet and went down today to pick up the books. The cheery librarian behind the counter with the pierced nose and short bleached hair with a Green Peace T-Shirt on had just finished with the previous library go-er, in the happiest voice in the world "Enjoy your book, have a wonderful day" she then asked me "May I help you?" I nodded and said, "Of course, I put a couple books on hold and I would like to pick them up, please". "Certaintly", she said with a grin upon her face. She turned around and headed towards the 'on hold' section and pulled out the books with a post-it with my name on it, she turned around and I could see her save-the-whale-grin turn upside down really fast as she read the titles of my books. She approached the computer scanned my books and handed them to me. "Due on the 28th, here you go"; she sounded as if Gideon Yago had been fired from MTV. I smiled, "Thank you very much". That made my day....

next you should read "What Liberal Media" by Eric Alterman.
Or at least the chapter where he proves Ann Coulter's "Slander" is completely unreliable shit...

Oh, and if you're actually interested in reading this garbage, check out some of the reviews (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400046610/ref=cm_rev_next/102-8918360-1164156?v=glance&s=books&vi=customer-reviews&show=-submittime&start-at=41) at Amazon.com first.
Yea, look at the reviews. Some people love it, some hate it. You're gunna love it or hate it based on your views and thats fine.
You think she's "fucking reminiscent of Hitler's media propagandist" while i think she's thurough and brilliant. And guess what, i'm going to change your mind about it about as much as you can change my mind about it.
I haven't read slander but i take that its about a media bias? Read Bias : A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News . You may or may not like it. Have fun.
