mental." She also attacks many celebrities in the news who have voiced their opinion. Coulter and other partisan writers have ambushed people like Moore, Janeane Garofalo and Sean Penn for their political beliefs. American National Government professor Cindy Benson, while understanding that the partisan literature is still biased, feels it can be a valid news source. ''.Anyone can spin facts to be exactly what they want," Benson said. "One must just realize that they need to read both sides of the argument, and read with your head and your heart, }Vithout for­ getting either one." Coming to the hberal defense is Moore and his book "Stupid White Men." In the beginning, this book deals with the 2000 presidential election, and he attacks each member of President Bush's cabinet. He then moves on to criticize corporateAm~rlf.a, and the prob­ lems- with the environment. His comments, however, always lead back to Bush. He gets personal with the entire Bush family; citing incidents with the ,president's daughters add their alcohol use. Moore just relea,sed his newest' book, entitled "Dude Where's My Country?" "I read 'Stupid White Men' this summer, and while I didrl't agree with all of [Moore's] view­ points, I did like how he promoted getting involved with your local government," said senior Jennifer Barthel "fm currently trying to get my ultra-conseJVa­ tive husband to read [it]," she said. Another liberal using the right as a plinching bag is Franken. Franken is best known for his time as a writer and performer for "Saturday Night Live." His book is entitled, "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tull Them: A Fair ·and Balanced Look at the Right." He goes right on the offensive, jabbing at the credibility of O'Reilly, Coulter, Sean Hannity and the rest of Fbx News. With chapter titles such as ''.Anne Coulter is a Nutcase," it's not dif­ ficult to tell where Franken is;. coming from. Contrary to some of the UCF professors' opinions, students have been buying into these par­ tisan heavy weights. Sophomore PatrickRostockis an avid reader of opinion books. He read Coulter'!) previous book, "Slander," along with Daniel Flynn's ''Why the Left Hates America" and Franken's book "I believe students should be reading at least something politi­ cal to give them a perspective of each side," said Rostock "I don't believe it should be used as a valid news source." The UCF bookstore reported that Coulter, Franken and O'Reilly each sold out their first ordered set. Moore's "Stupid White Men" sold more copies ·at the student bookstore than the paperback "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in the past 52 weeks. None of these books were required readingfor a class. · The professors and students do seem to agree on one. idea. They believe these books will only fortify the opinions of those who already agree with the a or. II II
