While Coulter contradicts herself on some issues, she consistently blames liberals for everything gone wrong. Author and journalist Joe Maguire examines Coulter’s attacks in Brainless: the Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter. With research citations, Maguire proves that many of Coulter’s statements are plagiarized, cruel, unfounded, and dangerous. Part of what makes her dangerous is that her bias plays into the highly emotional and divided political world. The other part is that Coulter’s writing finesse allows her to dabble in truth and present a thin proposal that breeds hate and bias.

Maguire shows Coulter’s mistakes and misstatements within satirically named chapters like "Why Ann Coulter Must Be Stopped," and "Ann and Research," subheaded, "When the Cat’s Away, the Mice will Plagiarize." Controversial topics and language may make this book off-limits for those easily insulted. Maguire combs a trough of statements and interviews to show that Coulter remains in the spotlight solely for the attention. I read the book for another viewpoint on Coulter’s highly charged commentaries. Maguire unearths the shaky ground of Coulter’s politics in Brainless. Under his satirical prose, Maguire shows the solid sources that Coulter liberally skips in her own work.
