After I posted my book on the DU --I got this review from a freeper





Another loonie anti-Bush book., December 4, 2004
Vinnie Vin is just one of many DemocraticUnderground whack jobs, who thinks that Bush is the Chimperor, and calls Republicans "Rethuglican brownshirted nazis", and thinks that Bush won because of a Rovian PNAC conspiracy. Go to DU and read his witless posts before you waste a penny on this book. You can bet that all of the rave reviews of this book are written by his DUmmy friends.



Whooooooohooooooooo! I guess you don't have to read the book to review it on Amazon.com.

1. Since he can't spell
he probably can't read either so how can he write a review?

2. I rated that freeper's review 'unhelpful'
And I ordered your book. Looks like it should be good!

3. GREAT BOOK! BEST EVER WRITTEN!
Wait, I haven't read it. Sorry. But my guess is that the freeper didn't either. Of course, I am able to read. Not saying freeper creature can't mind you. But reading and comprehension can be two different things. Congrats and hope you sell a bunch of books.

10. My publisher says
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 09:04 PM by vinnievin777
The more days it says it takes to deliver the better it is doing. So since it is 9 to 11 days as opposed to 24 hrs I expect after 9-11 days my position will be much higher when the books are shipped. So it is doing really well for an underground book by a small publisher.

14. You got it
it is at like 500,000th out of billions on Amazon --- I expect it to maybe go to 10,000th by the end of two weeks ----To give you an idea
Hillary's book is 1,300th and Bill Clinton is 34th -- (Since it is 9 to 11 days I probably won't jump till then) But I will keep you posted. O'Right-wing's book is 2,000th so I would love to get past him. (probably won't but you never know)
But the ranking is right there and I am actually thankful to be in the rankings cause if it was a dud there would be no number next to it.

27. It does say that.
I voted too. One of those reviewers is mightily confused, I must say. I look forward to reading it.

An idea: why not send a copy to one of or two of Amazon's top ten reader reviewers. They right awesome stuff about the people they review b/c (I think) they get the products for free, but the reviews look credible since they have special stars and and bells and whistles and some such shit. I think these people have a racket going. Free stuff all the time in exchange for reviews.

Just a thought.

6. Thanks everyone
I really appreciate it. I like the fact that they (the retardicans) would take the time to write a review but I don't like the one star --
You are all the best! You can always email me with any questions at
vinni94709@aol.com
And thank all of you again.

And for pissing off the freepers! I will buy your book at some point, promise, but the holidays are stretching me thin.

9. I totally understand that
You can request it at your local library --If you are a resident they will get it if they don't have it.

12. There you go...
'unhelpful' for the 2 negative reviews, 'helpful' for the seven positive ones.

Can't wait to read it.

Doesn't matter - he gave it five stars and another dimension of appeal.

I found that VERY helpful. ;)

24. I'll check it out from the library
just to see that they either get a copy or to boost its popularity. But I'll buy one anyway come the new year to keep your sales going. I'm working on a book myself, so I'm totally eager to help new authors out, especially anti-Bush ones, and especially a fellow DU'er. Plus, from all the positive reviews, it sounds like it's really good!

18. That review is probably the best advertising you could get!
Freeper probably doesn't realize he's likely piqued even MORE interest in your book.

and still not realize that BushCo is a treasonous, lying, anti-American regime?

23. Since it was not a review of the book content
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 11:24 PM by Lone_Star_Dem
in any fashion, but was a personal editorial on Vinnie Vin, I reported it. :)

Amazon won't let that stay up there. How many reviews have you read on their site that did not pertain to the material in the book?

edit: I forgot to tell you Congrats on the book!

34. Don't sue me yet
I do make a Nazi comparison, however only in the way Hitler's MO is used in the brainwashing schemes. The use of the "hidden forces" of passion and prejudice. I stress the difference in Hitler, Bin Laden and Saddam of course being far worse in nature than Bush but that we are supposed to be the good guys. So the definition of a civilized society should not be blurred.

39. Well when you do
-email me
However It is very hard because of --well of course politics.It is always who you know.
But my underground book is making waves and though I have no political connections the people are helping me to make the "underground" connections more overground. So it might be better because I will probably be more connected when you do finish your book.

May this find everyone happy and well.

41. I'll write a review right now.
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 05:17 PM by brainshrub
And by the way, for the Freepers reading this: Bush IS the Chimperor, Republicans ARE "Rethuglican brownshirted nazis", and Bush DID win because of a Rovian PNAC conspiracy.

ON EDIT: I was unable to write a review. The site won't let me. :shrug:
