In the Sudan, two million Christians have been
slaughtered by the National Islamic Front since
1983. Captured children, both male and female,
are routinely raped by their Muslim slavemasters.

"Slander" at #1 for the second week and HEY, Janet Maslin of the NT Times actually *reviewed* it. Trying to discount the book by
quoting many examples of the author's pointed invective, she shows her own liberal blindspot by declaring these expressions as
evidence of "gleeful malice", an utter projection on the reviewer's part (how about "righteous outrage", Ms. Maslin). No matter...
liberals generally don't buy and read books anyway.

For a really great and well researched review of Ms Coulter's book
"Slander" you should check out Bob Somersby's web site :

http://www.dailyhowler.com/


Bob does a great job of actually researching data behind many
newspaper articles as well as "pieces of literature" like "Slander".
He does the actual Lexis-Nexus searches MS Coulter purports to rely so
heavily on in the book, however they don't seem to support Ms
Coulter's arguments like she seems to imply they do. His main ax to
grind is with the dissembling, inaccurate reporting and basic laziness
of the press corp and the pundit elite. It seems to me that he has a
good point about the press being too lazy to get the story right. matt

It appears that Bob Somerby did a better job than you (and that's not saying much).

Read one of Bob's paragraph's again:

http://www.dailyhowler.com/n070802.shtml
Tuesday, July 9, 2002
...
Why do newspapers write about “Christian conservatives?”
Because they exist, and because they’re important. And why
don’t we read about the “atheist left?” Because the group
doesn’t exist. That’s why the New York Times doesn’t
mention the group; that’s why the Washington Times doesn’t
mention it, either. Everyone in America knows this is true—
until they read Coulter’s cracked book.

It's proof of Bob's deeply held religious beliefs (the religion being "liberalism") in that he looks at the same quotes and draws
almost polar opposite conclusions.

Here's an example of his liberal paranoia...

http://www.dailyhowler.com/n070802.shtml
Tuesday, July 9, 2002
...
Simply put, Coulter’s accounts of all matters, large and small,
are almost pathologically bogus. Unfortunately, cable producers—
always pleased to make a joke of our discourse—have no present
plans to take notice.

That's right, the evil cable producers... who want to produce something that Americans will actually watch. Darn them for doing
that.

In another telling example of Bob's detective abilities, he "proves" that Ann Coulter's sites of references to Bill Bradley as
"cerebral" are patently false. However, his "proof" is exactly the same as Ann's: he does a "search", then posts his "results".
Because his stated results don't match Ann Coulter's, he basically declares her a liar. So at that point (to any rational person's
mind) it is his word's against hers...

http://www.dailyhowler.com/n070802.shtml
Wednesday, July 10, 2002
...
So we sent the phrase “cerebral Bill Bradley” through the NEXIS file for the period
from 1/1/99 through 4/1/00—the fifteen months when Bradley was running for president.

Why did he start only from 1/1/99? Automatically that would exclude 3 of Ann's results. His reason ("when Bradley was running for
president") is arbitrary and not germaine. In any case here are Bob's stated results:

1. Sandy Grady, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 3/18/99
2. Sandy Grady, Bergen County Record, 3/23/99
3. Robert Jordan, Boston Globe, 4/23/99
4. Sandy Grady, Raleigh News and Observer, 11/10/99
5. Sandy Grady, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 11/6/99
6. Editorial, Albany Times-Union, 3/10/00

As a database programmer, I can tell our readers that absence of proof is not proof of absence... querying large databases for
information can easily lead to "missed" results, and it's a common problem that crops up in DB development and usage. It's just
the nature of large stores of information, from Rolodex's and your attic to multi-gigabyte datafiles.

Note that Bob doesn't bother to track down (and therefore positively refute) Ann Coulter's cites on the subject. That would be the
real proof, but he's not going to do that because he's afraid (perhaps unconsciously) that her sources are real. I have no way to
do it but here they are in case anyone has the resources:
From page 233 of "Slander":
10. See, e.g. Robert A. Jordan, "They're Boring Toward 2000 but Steering Clear of Trouble", Boston Globe, April 18, 1999
11. Editorial, "Gore Gets a Little Competition," San Francisco Chronicle, December 8, 1998
12. Jo Mannies, "Bradley Touts New Book, Ideologies; Public Trust Tops Priorities in New Appeal," St. Lousis Post-Dispatch,
February 9, 1996, p. 1C
13. Brian C. Mooney, "Gore 'Policy Speech' Says Volumes About His Ailing Campaign," Boston Globe, July 14, 1999
14. "Al Gore Gets Labor Day Endorsement in Iowa; Bush Enjoys Star Status in South Carolina; Lesser-Known Republicans Continue

15. Michael Winerip, "A Moderates's Moment," New York Times, July 20, 1997, p.18
16. "McCain, Bush Vie for Spotlight in South Carolina; Bill Bradley Discusses His Uphill Battle; Al Gore Makes Play for Latino

17. Marc Lacey and Mark Z. Barabak, "National Perspective; Politics; In Upstart Campaign, Bradley Flexes His Fund-Raising
Muscles," Los Angeles Times, July 20, 1999

Note that there are no common results between the two searches. That right away is a strong hint ("hint" as in "blood spatter on a
bedroom wall") that there is probably something inconsistent between the two search queries. At a minimum, it is like having two
clocks that disagree; on that basis *alone* you cannot declare either one "correct".

Having monopoly control of the major means of news dissemination for decades, the mainstream press effectively constitutes its own
political party, but one that's too far left to ever get anywhere in politics. So instead they favor the party that's closest to
their values (the Democrats) and slander the other major party (the Republicans). And over time, the Democrats have learned to
"speak the press's language", including their win-at-any-cost "debating" tactics.

Only a more free market of ideas and dissemination can break up this collusive arrangement. Not surprisingly, many Americans are
weary of the bland liberalized diet of mainstream "news", and large segments of the population now tune in to "conservative"
talk-radio shows and browse "conservative" internet news sites, and they buy "conservative" books in huge numbers. There must be
*something* to it.

Hey, here's a radical idea; maybe what the Pravda press calls "conservative", actually ain't so conservative! Boy, wouldn't THAT

Like the Fox network or perhaps the Washington Times run and owned by
the Moonies and the Reverend Moon himself (he regards himself as the
next Christ apparently) and I think you would find that the majority
of those at the editorial level and management are conservative as
well in all the media . Besides the recent coverage of Bush thru the
election and since was very kind to say the least. They ignored the
Harken, Arbusto, and arena debacles all thru the election so how
liberal was that? At the same time Gore took a bashing because he
dressed in "earth tones" give me a break.

> And over time, the Democrats have learned to
>"speak the press's language", including their win-at-any-cost "debating" tactics.

It seems to me that Bush was good at this as well. He was not
embarrassed to steal anyone elses ideas or slogans if it helped him
"win at any cost". When Mc Cain got traction Bush became a "reformer
with results" despite the fact he had never been a reformer or had any
results to show whatsoever. He talked about limiting CO2 emission in a
bald faced attempt to look like he cared about the environment only to
turn around and do the exact opposite (here in the corn belt we call
that lying). So tactics suck on both sides politically and they need
to since neither party has anything real to offer just fear, greed and
corruption.

Actually most folk left because the news services failed to do
anything but follow the easiest stories. Floggin to death the latest
scandals while ignoring most international news and any US stories not
deemed sexy enough to hold what they perceive as an audience with zero
attention span. I also believe folk left because the news services
underestimated their audiences (Fox does well because it is impossible
to underestimate its' audience). NPR on the other hand has actually
gained listeners due to having news stories that last several minutes
rather than seconds which allows a deeper inquiry and more information
than the "big boys" would ever allow us to hear. As for "conservative"
books this seems to be very much a controlled game like the record
industry. The book sales are based on shipments not actual sales along
with large quantities of books bought to support the author or the
premise by a single buyer (David Brooks was always promised this by
the folks fronting for Richard Mellon-Scaife and apparently they
bought a lot of them and burned them). This is a small variation on
the record companies way of doing business even today.

I only care what I call conservative. I look for data not opinion in
my news regardless of where it comes from. In fact I tend to read a
variety of news sources including many foreign ones to try and get the
real story. If one makes the effort the data is there but it always
needs to be strained to remove prejudice and slant that's why we have
brains capable of logic at our beck and call. matt

Probably like most of these books large batches are bought up by rich
conservative sugar daddies to boost sales and then warehoused or
burned. This is a regular action for Richard Mellon Scaife he did it
for David Brock's first few books that he also helped bankroll. Also
keep in mind that the NY Times best-seller list is based on shipments
of books not actual sales so they are like the recording industry's
similar deceptive practices. Besides when did you ever believe
anything the NY Times published?

As for liberals buying and reading books I am a liberal and I read
between 1000 to 1500 pages (sometimes more) a week varying from
technical books, biographies, and a lot of Sci-fi (mostly hard or
technical sci-fi). In fact i have recently been talking to friends
about reading habits and it seems that liberals read more from my
totally unscientific survey. matt

So *that's* why I don't totally hate your leftwing guts. ;-)
I just finished Haldeman's "Forever Free." Eeeee-YUCK,
strong dose of nothin' to say with a triple helping of
Deus ex Machina in the last ten pages. Miss it.

Man I really hate that "deus ex machina" crap at the end of a book (I
really hated Pelican Brief, a best seller, I was talked into reading
for that reason). There is nothing more aggravating than a book that
does a great job of character development and plot setup only to end
in 20 pages of frantic activity.

That's what I meant when I said it was unscientific :-). matt

This is totally unscientific as well, but everyone I know that works in
a bookstore (8) are VERY Liberal. And a couple of them are even
worse, .......New Agers.

The reaction to the National Review cover that starred President
Clinton, Monica and Ken Starr in a spoof of the Titanic movie poster
was priceless. Had four cashiers gathered, staring and going "ewwwww."
"Hey, look at this;" "It's been ruined for me now, I can't watch that
movie again."

Me? I like buying books about making money and books about firearms.
It seems to worry them.

Depending on how far right you are pretty much everyone can look like a liberal
but I wouldn't expect to find a lot of Dittoheads working at a book store or
library.

You go to a store to buy conservative magazines so that the clerk will get to
see the cover?

I can't believe liberal book stores offer material about guns.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That about says it, doesn't it? I just read a misspelled entry on another NG
where someone claimed "liberals don't read books". Isn't this like the serfs
in the pit pointing to the lords in the balconies and screaming, "Duh!
Dey're stoopid!!".

Dude, lighten up or I'll have to invoke the stereotype of liberals
being humorless. It's a tongue in cheek thing.
