On May 30, Amazon spammed its customers with advertisement of Norman
Finkelstein's virulently anti-Semitic book, Beyond Chutzpah: on the
Misuse
of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History.
On April 4, in an unprecedented move, Amazon deleted all reviews of
Obadiah
Shoher's Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East
Conflict. A few days later, Amazon forced its subsidiary Booksurge to
terminate publishing contract with Shoher whose book is now only
available
for download from www.samsonblinded.info Google earlier banned
advertising
of the Samson Blinded for "unacceptable content."
Obadiah Shoher, an anonymous politician, abandons myths and moralizing
in
favor of realpolitik. He argues for raw efficiency of antiterrorist
operations and shedding liberal idealism. Shoher asks inconvenient
questions
and gives honest answers.
Oppose Amazon's censorship! Read the Samson Blinded

Well, this is all very sophisticated.
Did it say when season 7 will be out? |

I got news for ya... Costco and Sam's Club have the latest, ahem, book from that bony skanky crack whore Ann Coulter in every one of their stores, even though it isn't (or wasn't, last time I checked) on the NYT bestseller's list, the gold standard for "popularity." (Not amazon.com) You can't find David Remnick's book, Reportings. You can't find Al Gore's book, An Inconvenient Truth.
I got an inconvenient truth for ya: Costco, Sam's, and prominent national bookstores seem to conspire to prominently display the, ahem, workks of radical nutball hatemongering conservatives; and the books of thoughtful moderates and liberals get the shaft. |

And, oh, btw: Al Franken's book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them was number 1 on the NYT bestseller's list for three weeks before Sam's Club had it for sale. Meanwhile, Sam's displays every half-baked book from every conservative with a book on the market the day it's published. |

Ann Coulter should be shot. And, I'll supply both the gun AND the trigger finger. She knows exaclty what she's doing and it's ALL about money. She doesn't have a principled bone in that body she flaunts to wedge her way on shows. She is a cold, calculating bitch. ALL that is wrong with the system she pretends to defend and represent. But, I don't feel strongly abut her. |

"thoughtful liberal"? That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.
Also:
Michael Moore should be shot. And, I'll supply both the gun AND the trigger finger. He knows exaclty what he's doing and it's ALL about money. He doesn't have a principled bone in that body she flaunts to wedge his way on shows. He is a cold, calculating bastard. ALL that is wrong with the system he pretends to defend and represent. But, I don't feel strongly abut him. |

Jackie, there's a raging debate in the blogosphere about whether we should ignore that bag-o-bones or call her on everything she says. I've said my piece about that skank here and there. I'm for ignoring her. Ignore her and her fellow travelers. |

Brain's name is Brian, but he can't spell.
Bookman. I know of where you come. I am always hoping that when she is on one of those shows "debating" someone, that the other person would just say something like, "Who can take her seriously? I won't so much as acknowledge her presence and what she has said, as she is an insult to the intelligence of a flea, though I will address your question, anywya, Mr. Talking Head."
I am sure that the fact of other folks arguing about her on any blog is just what she wants. |

Besides, Brain(iac), your point is pointless because they are both retards - you desperately ignorant moron, you. |

In the words of the greatest news anchor of our time, Keith Oberman... "...Well, she's not as talanted as Michael Moore... or as even as attractive as him, for that matter..." |

I'm not unbelievable at spelling last names. Imagine... spelling Olbermann with two n's. |
