Starting to see LOTS of the Swiftsmear books at Half-Priced Books!
CLOSE OUT PRICES!! BARGAIN BIN SPECIAL!!

I asked the lady at the counter as I made my purchase (Frank Herbert's "God Emperor of Dune":EXCELLENT!!) how much the store is paying people for "Unfit for Command"..The price? 25 cents!!! She say's she is completely saturated with them and can't seem to GIVE them away! She noticed a flood of them coming in after the first Presidential debate, which might be taken as a good sign! I counted over fifty copies...

...ironically every one looked crisp and new, hardly touched!! I will take a digital photo of the massive pile of the books at the USED bookstore and post it tommorow!!!

Oh...I could find hardly ANY liberal books in stock..mostly Franken and Moore. Looked for Molly Ivins "Bushwacked" but they had sold the last copy a few days before. TONS of Hannity and Coulter though! Seems people aren't giving up the TRUTH so easily!! I think I'll take a picture of the Hannity pile too!!

3. That's hilarious!
Some of the freeps claim they're still waiting for their copies on order.

5. I've a theory about a few of the loudest freepers. I think they're Moonies
I think Rev. Moon has a bunch of these guys saturating the internet with the POV that Rev. Moon wants to push onto America. I think Rev. Moon has some plan and somehow America is central to it. Considering how much money he spends pumping propaganda into the U.S. via his "news" outlets, I don't see why he wouldn't use his army of Moonie followers in this way, also.

Note, this is a totally unsubtantiated theory. But, he does have this army of cultists who have given him all their worldly belongings. I'm sure he has them doing something somewhere to promote his agenda and this would be very cost efficient.

4. Liberal books
Liberal books fly out of the used bookstores as soon as they come in. I check every once in a while and sometimes buy one if I see it. I got Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars", and three Michael Moore books that way. But they're hard to catch, 'cause the liberal books are so popular right now.

The right wing books pile up, no takers, and they wind up clogging up the shelf at the Goodwill store. Kinda makes you wonder where all the right wing books are coming from if there's no audience. Richard Mellon Scaife paying for all of them to be published? Naah, couldn't be :)
