How to Talk to a Liberal

How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a 2004 book by Ann Coulter. The book is a collection of columns written by Coulter between September 12, 2001 and March 9, 2005 on liberalism, the war on terror, and the media. In it, Coulter offers advice gleaned from her experience as a political pundit. She attacks the New York Times and the Democratic Party, and sums up her opinion of liberals in two sentences: "Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States." In arguing with liberals, she advises, "don't be defensive", "always outrage the enemy", and "never apologize to, compliment, or show graciousness to a Democrat." The book was on the New York Times Bestseller list for 17 weeks.
