Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
LOL!!!
He's the Second Coming of Sir Issac Newton!
Oddly, it will sell a million copies, and you won't be able to find a single person who admits to buying or owning the book. This game is played all the time, and always in the same way.
And people will take them home and use them as door stops.
Actually READ the book? Nah.
How much of that month did you use up trying to find the book store?
When these books are bought in bulk, it's not by book stores, but by conservative propaganda organizations. I'm sure book stores stock books according to anticipated demand.
A book that was actually expected to be popular would more likely be pre-ordered by book stores, and appear at the book stores more quickly. Those that were bought in bulk at the earliest opportunity by agenda-driven groups would most likely not be seen at book stores right away.
That's why I didn't rebut your point. You already did that.
And I'm a pretty happy person.Stop projecting.
Get Sarah Palin's New Book
Number one: you don't know what you're talking about. What you just said was categorically false about the Newsmax offer.
And number two: you still have no idea just how many books are sold at this price and how this compares to other marketing schemes for book sales in order to make the case that you guys are that except for these artificial methods the book would be a flop.
That's a pretty bold accusation, Hoosier. Could you expand a little, be more specific? What did I say that was false?
Your "number two" point seems to be arguing about more things I didn't say.
Is this just you not knowing when to stop digging?
Yes, it is. And at that price, it's STILL about $4.95 too expensive...
I'd love to see one media outlet do some real investigative work and show one example of a conservative book being sold the way they depict them as being sold.
How do media outlets depict them as being sold?
As has already been pointed out to you on another thread, and re-pointed out to you when you were unable to get it the first time;
The subscription is FREE. It's a sucker deal to make eleven bucks off of chumps who think they're getting a good deal because they're getting Palin's comic book for 5 bucks (plus 6 bucks shipping) when they "buy" a subscription (for free) to a right wing website's magazine.
Did all of you wingnuts spend the week in some sort of head-butting Olympics? You're acting thicker than usual.
Conservative Book Club-Get 3 Book for $1 each...
Check out this NY Times bestseller list.
The little cross after Glenn Beck's #1 book indicates bulk buys, as noted at the bottom of the page. This isn't a secret, it's a well-known tactic used to promote books that promote the interests of groups who will benefit by them.
The fact that conservative groups like Newsmax, Human Events, Conservative Book Club, etc. have piles of these books that they're practically (or actually) giving away should have made this self-evident to almost anybody, without the help of an investigative journalist.
For those of you who need the little symbol right next to the book ranking, telling you it was bought in bulk, I've provided the link.
I guess I'm an investigative journalist now. Next I'm going to prove that those free samples of food given out at the supermarket are paid for by the manufacturers of that same food.
Wish granted.
Sorry its not a "real media outlet" -- just one of those bloggers Michelle Malkin is always complaining about . . .
Make a couple calls and see for yourself? It's well-known and well documented that this is the conservative method of selling their crap books.
I think you just don't want to believe the truth.
Got it, Limit Corp.
And also light on the wallet!!
Rushbuttboil you are about the highest payed stupid dumb azz coward there must be.
Maybe that's why he flunked out of every class in his three semesters of college, including ballroom dancing!
I also now wonder about his arrest picking up a male prostitute in Pittsburgh if maybe he though that would also get him out of the draft and all
so question oh rushbuttboil,,,, did you use your homosexual experience for per pleasure or knowing you were a coward and the military dont take gays?
just a question thats all pond scum
A drug-addicted, deeply closeted gay idiot.
You, on the other hand, STMDL, have not. Nor will you. You will only read what the liberal blogs deem is worthy of reporting and you will only know what those liberal blogs' impression is of the particular passage they write about.
That is the difference between yours and Limbaugh's opinions on Palin's book. Someone else will read it so you don't have to, and because of that, your opinion will not be yours. Unlike Limbaugh's.
Hell, he read the jacket and tossed it in the trash. Come on, it only cost $3.95. (el Fathead got a discount copy.)
You buy them books, and buy them books, and all they do is eat the covers.
My critique was not on the book itself but Limbaugh's usual hypocrisy and lack of objectivity.If YOU read it,please expound on why/how Limbaugh is accurate!!!Even Palin lovers at Fox have mentioned the lack of focus on policy!!!I guess they forgot to ask Rush for his input before they commented..
Rush, if the media is going to focus on the "soap opera" parts of the book, as you say, that means the book is a soap opera kind of book. What serious political leader intentionally writes (?) a soap opera kind of book?
Limbaugh, you may recall, had the same words for that other book he read, My Pet Goat.
Or way, WAY over his head...
I guess when your usual reading material is comic books, it'd be easy to think that way . . .
Also 'comic books' can be quite substantive.. more accurately 'graphic novels'. I just finished re-reading TRANSMETROPOLITAN, with journalist Spider Jerusalem.. and we think our real world is a mess.....
We all have to face that time in our lives when we get out a book we also don't get out our crayons.
When I think of Ole BlunderRush "massive" comes to mind before "substantive," but that's just me. As our California Governor pointed out, it's really unfair to call BlunderRush the 800 pound gorilla in the room. He probably doesn't tip the beam at anything over four bills...
I look forward to reading this book because I am sure it will have some gems, unless the editing staff cleaned it up, but I would imagine it would sell better with all her garbled crap in there untouched. Can't wait to see what the Oracle of Wasilla has to say about policy; what wisdom she will bestow upon us.

He is the ultimate right-wing whore.
Oh, so that explains why your views are so ill-informed.
NFL had the right idea...Limbaugh is a crime against nature and doesn't deserve to be considered - for anything.
