Anyone with a heart will shed tears at the devastating experience this DUmmy had to live through at a
Barnes & Noble.
So sad!

Ok, DU buddies...I need help. I had a very depressing visit to Barnes and Noble this morning.
I am so furious I can barely type but I want to get this off my chest and get your help in publicizing this situation.,
I holiday shopping for my elderly aunt who is practically bed-ridden. She is an avid fan of MSNBC and love Rev. Al. She asked me to pick up a copy of his book, "The Rejected Stone." So off to Barnes and Noble I went just knowing that this huge brick store would have copies available. They did not. After searching through the latest books section and current events sectioen I asked a customer service rep for help. She politely went to their on-line inventory and said that she saw the book listed and took me back to the current events section againl. Not there. Now this is what made me think she lied to me the first time: when we couldn't find the book on our revisit to the current events section she said, "Well looks like we don't have it. I can order it for you if you want." Notice, she didn't say "we are out of the book or it's on back order." Which means to me tha.t they never ordered it as part of their inventory in the first place. I felt myself fuming for reasons you can imagine. After viewing lines and lines of every hokey RW book you can imagine (Palin, Walker, O'Reilly, etc. and seeing the latest cover of the Economist on big display...I felt myself getting really angry.
Okay, so folks have told me that B&N (I sure miss Borders) is a RW haven but I thought that at least they stocked all kinds of book, if only in the closets and under the tables. Not so. Needless to say, my aunt was very disappointed and angry too. So I am wondering if this is something that needs to be publicized. The children's book section was not diverse at all. Tried to find a few books for Latino and AA members of the family....only Dora. And they wonder why our children don't read much.
Anyway, I am going to let the Rev know about this experience. Maybe I am making too much out of it but i sure do feel depressed right now.

A bookstore without Al Sharpton?
I hope DUmmy kellikatnumbers gets therapy and can someday recover from this awful trauma.

6. They don't stock books they can't sell?
That's definitely right wing.

4. I am so sorry you went through that.
I did not know that Barnes & Noble is RW. I always look for books online (Amazon) and just wait for arrival or use eBooks. Not really surprised, however.
This definitely needs to be publicized!
Those wingnut B&N bastards!!

17. His book isn't popular at all, ergo they probably don't stock it.
I am not sure why you are so emotional about this fact

22. You went to a bookstore and they didn't have the book you were looking for
and that made you so furious you can barely type? Maybe you need to go see a doctor.

Bullies!
I laughed, I cried. I mostly laughed.
-
Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy - in a BN kinda/sorta way.
Christmas isn't for 21 days so why would her elderly aunt be upset by this news today? Just order the damn book, DUmmy. I'm sure it will arrive in time for you to give it to your aunt.

Something tells me if the jug-eared Kenyan wasn't homosexual, DUmmy kelliekatnumbers could be his daughter.
-
I liked the smooth way it slipped in the Latinos and AAs to up it's DUmp creds.

Why would I want to hide a book written by someone other than the stated author who can barely speak English? I'd highlight it and put it out front at the entrance.

Fear of BOOKS!?!?!? Never heard of it.....
Tried to find a few books for Latino and AA members of the family....only Dora. Nothing for Latino alcoholics?!? The bastards....And they wonder why our children don't read much.

You should see what cabbage (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2356972) does to them.

You have to have a credit/debit card to do that. Amazon doesn't take rolled coins.

Last time I tried, the exchange rate for photocopies of my hands and a big ol' bale of healing white light wasn't terrific, either.
Gee, I guess the DUmmy is just screwn... :popcorn:

DUmbasses seem to think there is a catalog of races that one selects family members from. :lmao:
-
Good grief!
Will somebody change DUmmie kelliekatnumbers' diaper, give s/h/it a pacifier, and lay s/h/it down for a nap already!
:wtf2:
I guess it's a good thing s/h/it didn't see Rush Limbaugh's new book, s/h/it would STILL be pissing and moaning.
-
Good grief what a drama queen, just order the book either through the store or hop on your computer and order it yourself.

It's great to start the morning with a laugh!

I learned from the DUmmies that great fun can be had from hiding books in the bookstore/library..
-
Maybe sharpton's book "How to Make Money with a Bag of Shit" was hidden under Glenn Beck's new book.
-
Never heard of it, and now that I have, I can't believe that stupid bastard windbag actually wrote it himself. I can see why it wouldn't occur to B&N to order more than three or four of them, they have a big enough remainder/liquidation table as it is.

Typical lazy-assed DUmbshit.
Little do most of these worthless shits realize that one pathetic bouncy does not a DOTY campaign make, and yet the most obvious DOTY campaigns consist of little more than this.
Word of advice, lurking DUmb****: the exalted ranks of the DOTY award requires much more effort than that which you put into your last entry-level job. Count your frakking blessings that we don't require the winners to take a Whiz Quiz in order to claim the honor.

Aspiring DUmmies should pull up a year's work by nutcase nadin, or a year's work by rsmithnumbers, or Dennis the Menace, or even LocoNuts to get an idea of what it takes to move into the first rank of entertaining lunatics.
It takes an astounding lack of intelligence, combined with severe personality disorders, to make the cut. For most DUmmies, being a Top DUmmy contender simply isn't possible. They may have the necessary stupidity, but lack an adequate level of mental illness, or vice versa. And among those who fulfill both criteria (and that's actually a lot of DUmpmonkeys), they must have the persistence to keep up a steady flow of deranged posts for the entertainment of decent, civilized people.
