Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America is a book by constitutional lawyer, author and conservative columnist Ann Coulter, published in 2009. In the book, she argues that liberals are always playing the victim – when in fact, as she sees it, they are the victimizers. The book reached #2 on the New York Times best-sellers list and was her seventh book to appear on the list.

Single mothers

Arguably the most prominent chapter in the book is entitled, Victim of a Crime? Thank a Single Mother. In this chapter, Coulter argues that liberals passionately deify single mothers as though they are victims of happenstance who plod through their tough life experiences, when in reality, as she sees it, they are victimizers of the young children they bring into the world with the worst possible life chances by their engaging in willy-nilly and deviant sexual behaviors. She is also critical of the decision of single mothers not to give up their children for adoption when research shows that adopted children fare markedly better than non-adopted children of single mothers.

Coulter further argues that liberals have relentlessly waged war on the nuclear family, citing the works of prominent feminist Barbara Ehrenreich, who has been vocal in her disdain for the nuclear family for its alleged oppression and subjugation of womanhood. Coulter argues that the safest place for a woman is in the home with husband in response, citing government studies in the process.

Media bias

Throughout the book, Coulter accuses the mainstream media of bias, which manifested itself via unjust, derogatory reportage of conservative politicians while, in contrast, fawningly covering liberal ones. Coulter argues that both Barack and Michelle Obama were held up as "media-designated saints" and were lovingly covered in the media, whereas, conversely, Sarah Palin was treated in a grossly unfair manner. Coulter describes how the media's bias caused a self-evident disparity in the stridency of questions being directed at the candidates, citing the fact that Obama was given soft-ball questions about how he would handle opposition from Republicans and how his family felt about his political achievements, while other candidates were being assertively asked intricate foreign and domestic policy questions. She attributes the positive coverage of Barack Obama in part to his sex appeal, alleging that members of the media "literally wanted to have sex with him." She also criticizes Michelle Obama for attempting to look like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.[1]
