Soros-tied authors launch bid to dislodge conservative best-selling books

[bijou]

The national media doesn’t want to talk about the dominance of conservative books atop the New York Times best-seller list and other national lists.
But it’s clearly getting under the Left’s skin.
At HuffPo, a Soros-tied co-author has launched a bid to dislodge conservative authors — and he’s asking for help from every last nutroots activist out there.
The book that will save America from us evil right-wing extremists and rescue the Democrat agenda from oblivion?
50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America!
Look, Obama-bots: The book has the weighty endorsements of starlets, rappers, and yes, Teddy Kennedy.
“This book is a great resource to help the President change America by encouraging young people to embrace their civic responsibilities. During his campaign, Obama empowered all of us to take part in initiating change and it’s imperative that we keep that momentum going by involving the next generation.”
—Jessica Alba ...

Read the full thing, because I'd hate you all to miss out on the chance to win one of the wonderful prizes on offer.

Shouldn't it have been 57 ways?  One for each state?

Damn, Jessica Alba is an O-bot?  There's one more hawt woman I won't be nailing.

For ****s sake! These people never get a frikkin' clue, do they? It's amazing to me they can ignore the grass roots rebellion going on right now over health care "reform". Do they actually think we don't matter? Don't answer that, I'm sure they think we're nothing more than the dog shit they scrape off their $100 dollar tennies!

I have never seen, in my lifetime, as many idiots as I have seen in the last 30 years of my life! The only reason it's not longer is I was too young to ****in' care! I was too busy workin' my ass off and providing for my family. (something I I'm sure is foreign to a DUmbass) I'm damn near 60, and it is hard for me to believe we have this many ****in' traitors in this country!

These asshats need to be tried for treason, sent to Gitmo, then sent to Cuba to live out their miserable lib lives!

At least I could get a little satisfaction before I go meet my maker.

Oh dear, it's all gone horribly wrong

Glenn Beck unreleased book outselling "50 Ways You Can Help Obama"

When Michael Huttner and Jason Salzman's book, 50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America, hit the book stands September 1st, the admittedly left-wing authors had high hopes of dislodging conservative books from Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and others from Best Seller lists they have dominated for months. The 50 ways guide was publicized with glowing reviews from Hollywood celebrities and even the late Senator Ted Kennedy. At the Huffington Post, they have even offered a trip to Hawaii contest as an promotion for pushing sales. But alas, one week after the hyped release of the book, it appears that there is not as much interest in helping President Obama change America as the liberal authors had hoped. In fact, to put it simply, the book is bombing.

Oh dear, it's all gone horribly wrong
 

To add to dismal public sales of the book, comes the realization that preorders of a Glenn Beck book not to be released until September 22nd is outselling 50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America. Beck's newest book, Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government, is achieved a Barnes and Noble sales rank of 228 which is impressive for a political preorder. In addition, Beck's Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government has remained in Amazon's top 50 over the past two weeks and is expected to become the nation's top nonfiction best seller in its first week of release, following the pattern of Common Sense.

The Lefty Liberal Goons are always trying to force things that only really count when they happen naturally.  They cannot manipulate a bestseller's list, but it doesn't stop them from trying.  Even if they could manipulate the outcome, it would not be legitimate.  It didn't happen naturally.  What would they have accomplished?  Dishonesty?  A ruse on the public? 

Why?

'Bolshevik', in Russian means, 'Majority'.  But in the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks were only about 20% to 30% (depends upon who's numbers you use) of the Russian population at their strongest.  Communists then and now are completely shut out of the political process without the 'Big Lie' as their mainstay tactic.  That and good, old fashioned back-street thuggery.

...But...  did anyone else happen to catch the Fox piece on textbooks recently:

Everyone with or without kids should monitor what is actually in the texts being used to teach our kids.  It is amazing.  Kids are no longer educated they are indoctrinated.  Kids need to be able to do more than get a condom on a cucumber and feel good about themselves.
