Check out the top 25 books on amazon!!!!
www.amazon.com/books

Al Franken, Joe Conason, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, and Greg Palast are all in the top 25! (Al Franken has two)

I credit the stupid, stupid Fox News lawsuit against Al Franken and CNN's coverage of it for this glorious burst of truth-spreading. Thank you Fox News!

1. Wow. that's impressive
The RWers have to have nutso foundations funded by rich whackos to buy all the Coulter/Limbaugh trash books and pass them out at cult meetings to get them sold.

Lefties can actually sell their books to real live people who want to buy them.

Neat

3. And the lefties are actually reading these books, whereas the RW'ers
are regifting (or whatever) until Coulter's book is ultimately being used as a doorstop.

11. And don't forget
that some folks still have outhouses.

Ann may not be squeezably soft, but she''ll do in a pinch. Loaf pinch, that is.

5. Are you looking at amazon?
I see that she has one book at #30, another in the 200's, and one really way down.

Also, there are several more leftie books in the top 100.

This is truly amazing because as Jacobin said, there are usually huge bulk buys of the rightwing books to prop us the sales numbers.

One thing to note: HUMOR seems to be a powerful weapon for leftwing authors, while the right seems to prefer vitriol.

8. It was Amazon not fiction. Her Treason was around 10,
and Slander was 25.

Into oblivion, I hope.

14. Just caught it again.
Treason #7

Slander # 25


I wonder how much this is costing her. Did you see that she ducked out on her Kudlow and Cramer stint with Joe Conason ? He really smacked her in his new book and she is running scared.

16. Thanks...
And check out my post below. I really think people are waking up.

Regarding Joe Conason, she must not be able to refute what he says in the book. For whatever reason, it is clear that she is mortally afraid of going up against him.

12. Can't find it now. It was a top 25 list of non fiction.
I don't think my eyes were playing tricks on me.

13. There are a lot of lists on amazon!
You could probably get caught in some sort of infinite loop if you started reading them all. :-)

6. I think it's more that the Faux suit - it's US soldiers dying every day..
in Iraq. The times they are a changing.

7. how come AMAZON doesn't have a CATEGORY for 'POLITICS'
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/53/ref%3Dbr%5Fdd%5F18/102-8754828-5372944

check the pull down menu on the top right...

BB don't want us focusing much on that topic, eh?

9. Is something finally happening in America?
The Amazon toplist cannot be good news for Bush and Arnold and the other right wingers.

15. Jiminy Christmas! I just counted 13 leftwing books out of 25 in
the Nonfiction bestseller category. (Ann Coulter has 2)

This is not even the Politics category--just non-fiction!

Maybe the Fox lawsuit, the Iraq deaths, and the CA recall together are really waking people up. I am amazed.
