Don't miss the point

By Bobby Newman on September 16, 2003

Format: Hardcover

Please don't miss the point of this book, as all the reactionary reviews posted so far seem to have done. Some people sing, or they act, or they throw a ball. That's all. No one is saying that celebrities shouldn't have a voice, just like everyone else. What is being asked is a very basic question. Why, in America, are celebrities given such attention in public matters? You sing? That's nice, but why should I then particularly care what your political views are? No one wants to censor celebrities, but isn't it just a little silly to think that because someone sings or acts that they have some special understanding of the environment or politics?

Shut up and Read!

By Robert Miller on October 5, 2003

Format: Hardcover

I just finished this book; I'm a little amazed at the reactions. After reading the reviews listed here, it is obvious some of these reviewers haven't read beyond the dust jacket and some haven't read that much. What Ms. Ingraham deftly does is expose the hypocrisy of the elite in their own words. She also demonstrated the contempt with which these elitists treat the great-unwashed masses.
The director Otto Preminger referred to actors as being little more than trained animals, jumping through hoops as the director's command. Truman Capote said that the best actors were the "stupidest" (his word.) When Ronald Reagan was asked about comments made by Ed Asner he replied, "What does an actor know about politics?" Why should it be a surprise when we read the words of our celluloid heroes and find out that they are insipid, two dimensional characters with nothing of substance to add to the discourse. When did we begin to look to the likes of Barbara and Sarandon for answers to complex world problems? Ms. Ingraham only points out the obvious; our entertainers are here to entertain us.
The revelation to me was the genesis of the elitist doctrine and Ms. Ingraham does a fine job of recalling this. I can see where this would be an annoying inconvenience to the elitists today; the pretense that these people speak, and "feel" for the very people they treat with such contempt. To read just how disdainful Jane Fonda is of the average American is unsettling. In fact, I see this condescension in some of the reviews written here; mocking Southern accents, and advising us we don't have to read this book. Am I not entitled to read and decide for myself?
Regardless of your political opinions, read this book, it is well written and it is worth the few hours you'll spend, if only to remind you that the world's problems require reasoned thought, not a few bumper sticker slogans tossed out by people that make their living playing "make believe."

You go, girl!

By Jeffrey Leach HALL OF FAME on February 28, 2004

Format: Hardcover

Conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham decided to write a book called "Shut Up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN Are Subverting America" in an effort to throw a spotlight on the folly of our so called "leaders." Dismissed as a hateful screed by hysterical shills for the Left, the author's book is in reality an intriguing, funny, and forceful call to action for American citizens weary of the idiocy that passes as "liberalism" today. Far from being the friendly, inclusive ideology of the common man, many of today's leftists are narrow minded, intolerant bigots full of self-loathing guilt about the success of America. By the way, I don't pay attention to any particular radio programs endorsing either side of the political spectrum, largely due to my increasing annoyance with both right and left, but I would definitely give Ingraham a listen based solely on this book. Would I condone everything she said lock, stock, and barrel? Definitely not, but it's always fun to see one of these self-righteous leftist zealots take a shot on the chin.
Who are the elites who spend every waking minute making the rest of us miserable? According to Ingraham, they occupy prominent positions in the entertainment industry, politics, academia, the judiciary, and the United Nations. You know a lot of them by sight: Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Barbra Streisand (grrr), Jane Fonda (double grrr), Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Susan Sontag, Cornel West, and a million other dupes espousing blatant "Hate America" ideologies. Ingraham even includes a pictorial "rogue's gallery" in the middle of the book in case you don't know the faces of our anti-American enemy.Read more ›

Finally - someone lets leftywood have it.

By A Customer on September 22, 2003

Format: Hardcover

An awesome book. No, Laura is not an investigative reporter, but she articulates well the views of many of us in middle america rather nicely. Ie, that Hollywood and many universities in the US are no longer moderate on the issues and willing to openly debate substance but have instead become bastions of speech codes where 98% or more of the faculty are far-left liberal and won't tolerate free speech of those with contrary opinions. Thankfully she has finally taken them on.

Well Said...

By A Customer on October 16, 2003

Format: Hardcover

As a Libertarian, I rather agree with Dennis Miller. The conservatives have some good points and so do some liberals. Saying that this book is awful however, is nonsense. It's well written; Laura is very funny; I saw no lies that I could identify, unlike the 'this book is awful' reviewers did (although I have a cynical suspicion that they are not objective reviewers). This is an excellent, easy and fun read. Want more in debth work??? "Losing Bin Laden" or "What Color is a Conservative" are also excellent.

Pretty repetitive as most agenda driven reading is. Some interesting facts and points. I found myself skimming through chunks and ultimately left the last 1/8 of the book unread. Read more

Ugh. I wanted to be entertained.

Here's the question. How can Laura Ingraham be so funny on the radio and so tedious in print?

Is it that the book was written in 2003 and its premise has become basic... Read more
