XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU JUNEL 19, 2003 13:25:58 ET XXXXX COULTER WAR: CHALLENGES HILLARY FOR TOP OF CHARTS; 'TREASON' BOOK, DEFENSE OF MCCARTHY SET FOR RELEASE **Exclusive** Last summer's bestselling non-fiction author is planning a fresh assault on the charts with an explosive defense of Joe McCarthy, and other historical reviews, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. You may never look at controversialist Ann Coulter the same way again -- after TREASON: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism. MORE CROWN signed Coulter to a seven-figure advance for the sizzle book, set for release next week. And now publishing insiders are convinced Coulter has what it will take to dethrone a former first lady in a direct challange on the charts. Election Day comes early, at the bookstores: and the campaign is between Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Ann Coulter! [Coulter ranked #34 on AMAZON's hit parade Thursday morning.] MORE "The myth of 'McCarthyism' is the greatest Orwellian fraud of our times," Coulter pounds.� "Liberals are fanatical liars, then as now. Everything you think you know about McCarthy is a hegemonic lie." "Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals... "McCarthy was not tilting at windmills. Soviet spies in the government were not a figment of right-wing imaginations. He was tilting at an authentic Communist conspiracy that had been laughed off by the Democratic Party. " Coulter is set to go radioactive and declare TREASON on GOOD MORNING AMERICA next Tuesday, according to network sources. But first, the DRUDGE REPORT offers a select sampling: CHAP 1 -- FIFTY YEARS OF TREASON Coulter writes: Why is the relative patriotism of the two parties the only issue that is out of bounds for discussion? Why can�t we ask: Who is more patriotic -- Democrats or Republicans? You could win that case in court. At least we can be thankful that in the war on terrorism, we were spared the spectacle of liberals calling Osama bin Laden an �agrarian reformer.� While consistently rooting against America, liberals have used a fictional event forged of their own hysteria - �McCarthyism� -- to prevent Americans from ever asking the simple question: Do liberals love their country? Phil Donahue asked rhetorically: �Are the protesters the real patriots? It is at least counterintuitive to say that it is more patriotic to attack America than to defend it. [A]fter World War II, the Democratic Party suffered from the sort of pusillanimous psychosis that seized all of France after World War I. The entire Party had lost its nerve for sacrifice, heroism and bravery. Beginning in the fifties, there was a real FIGHT for the soul of the Democratic Party. By the late sixties the contest was over. The anti-Communist Democrats had lost. Democrats are on the precipice of securing their reputation as the Chamberlains of our time. In fact, today�s appeasers are worse than Neville Chamberlain: Chamberlain didn�t have himself as an example. Jimmy Carter couldn�t land a helicopter in a desert, but he seemed to imagine the public was hungry for his counsel in the war on terrorism. Carter is so often maligned for his stupidity, it tends to be forgotten that he is also self-righteous, vengeful, sneaky, and backstabbing. Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America�s self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant. Fifty years of treason hasn�t slowed them down. CHAP 4: THE INDISPENSABLE JOE MCCARTHY If any other religious cult knew so few basic facts about its own seminal beliefs as the liberal cult does about Joe McCarthy, Janet Reno would gas them. Despite the left�s creation of a myth to defeat legitimate charges of treason, McCarthy had so badly stigmatized Communism, his victory survived him. In his brief fiery ride across the landscape, Joe McCarthy bought America another thirty years. For this, he sacrificed his life, his reputation, his name. The left cut down a brave man, but not before the American people heard the truth. CHAP 8: HOW LIBERALS WON THE COLD WAR DURING THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION Liberals dispute that Reagan won the Cold War on the basis of their capacity to put mocking quotation marks around the word, �won.� That�s pretty much the full argument: Restate a factual proposition with sneering quote marks. It was not until the war on terrorism that liberals� use of �primitive� as an epithet for right-wingers finally fell out of fashion, presumably in deference to the feelings of an enemy that travels by camel. Apart from Reagan�s inner circle, no one alive between World War II and the Reagan presidency could have imagined such a magnificent conclusion to the Cold War accomplished with such speed. Reagan was the first authentic conservative in the White House in over fifty years. That�s all it took. We should, of course, be duly grateful to other American presidents for their feeble and impotent public statements in opposition to Soviet expansionism -- except Jimmy Carter, who was not remotely opposed to Soviet expansionism. Still, the Soviet Union could have stumbled along for a few more decades, waiting out the Reagan administration and hoping for a Democrat president to come in and help the Soviets restore their hegemony. But Reagan wasn�t going to let the USSR outlast him. The Soviets were terrified of Star Wars -- a terror that was palpable on the editorial pages of the New York Times. If you were setting a half-bright trap to collect a half-bright menagerie, you couldn�t do better than saying �Reagan won the Cold War� and waiting to see who argues with you. It�s the intellectual equivalent of a box, a stick and a piece of cheese.
