So I was at Costco the other day...
They had new books by O'reily, and Savage and several other usual suspects. Their readers have got to be idiots to keep buying the same book over and over again.

I use to read Hardy Boy Books when I was a kid, still have 'em all, but even I knew they were going to be essentially the same plot.

I mean, how many times do you have to tell someone that Obama is bad.

Or maybe they all have short attention spans, need to be reinforced over and over and over again.

We don't have anyone on our side who is as prolific.

Perhaps because Liberals and progressives seek new knowledge and not the same old crap repackaged.

8. Maybe they can use them as starter fuel for the fireplace.
Everything's a dollar. Cheaper than a newspaper.

6. Because here is what happens...
Scenario 1: A right wing talking head writes a book about how the Democrats have a secret plot to force everyone to dress up in Red Chinese uniforms, dig up corpses and then sexually violate said corpses in an effort to create a master race of zombie Maoist undead. Elected and prominent Republicans are pictured reading the book and appearing on that person's radio/tv show and while they don't explicitly endorse the zombie maoist undead theory, they state that they need to see more evidence on the subject but haven't seen anything so far that refutes the theory. Meanwhile elected and prominent Democrats see this and decide that they really need to improve their communication skills to make sure that people know this theory isn't true. They decide that they need to make more effort to reach out to those who believe this theory and rather than denounce it outright, should come up with some kind of middle ground between the zombie maoist undead theory held by the right, and reality.

Scenario 2: A "left wing" (read ridiculously moderate) talking head writes a book about how Republicans want to reduce taxes on the wealthy and deregulate most industries. But since in the book he refers to a prominent republican as "a jerk", the "radical leftist" author is immediately denounced by all sides. The democratic held Senate introduces a bipartisan motion to denounce the book. Every candidate up for office is asked to "refudiate" the author and declare allegiance to civility. They all do.

Why the hell would anyone on our side even bother?
