Amazon.com review being freeped?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0977333809/qid=1133387844/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4202382-1507058?n=507846&s=books&v=glance

What the hell is wrong with these people?

It's one thing to say Cindy isn't a very good writer. It's another to question her patriotism and say dumb bullshit like "she's a mouthpiece for the anti-war left".

It just disgusts me beyond belief that some Americans think this way. What the fuck has happened to our country?

1. She IS a mouthpiece for the anti-war left, and she should be proud of it.
She's not the only one with credibility speaking out against it, either. Let the Freetards pick whatever phrase they want. I know the word "mouthpiece" isn't the most flattering choice, but nobody with a brain thinks she's on remote control under the influence of anti-war types - she lost her son, for God's sake. Anyone following current events and knows who Cindy is or what she stands for isn't going to be swayed by Freeper vocabulary selections.

I personally couldn't care less how Freetards phrase things.

3. Just write your own review.
I like Lisa's review saying how Cindy is profiting from her son's death; not as much Dick Cheney, sweetie.

8. I thought of that, too, but
I have to read the book first. Few things drive me more crazy than seeing reviews from people who clearly didn't read what they're reviewing, and I refuse to become one of them.

Next payday, I read and review. Good suggestion, BTW.

10. Yeah, that irks me too.
I've reported a couple of the "reviews" as well as the "customer photos" that are merely attacks on Cindy. Hopefully Amazon will correct the matter. But the Freepers will probably keep trying. Don't any of them have jobs?

2. I read several good reviews on there as well as hateful ones

Many of the good ones were written by Vets.

6. Reagan and the religious BS artists brain washed them
into thinking everything wrong is because of liberals. What you are dealing with today is from the Scopes monkey trial. After it was over the baptists isolated themselves and started a breeding program. Then in the late 70's they started a membership drive, door to door after those that were disillusioned by main stream religions. More people joined them, then they got together with the catholics over the abortion issue and through manipulation and buying would be law makers, they found someone they thought would be their spokesman, Ronnie the Reagan. At the time the repigs thought they would be able to use the fundies to get into power but if you noticed the fundies were thinking the same thing. If you do some research on the fundies donating money to the repigs and to certain lobbyists you will find that theres something fishy about where the fundies are getting the money to make donations and fund their lobby groups. Yeah scary thought bought look at how crooked repigs and fundies are. Think about it, TV preachers with billions of dollars at their disposal, we are ready know they have no morals or integrity, so where does this lead to? GW? The repig congress? Remember these Church's already tell their members how to vote, what else would they do to get their way?

7. Easy to tell which is real and which are not.
Click on the "See all my reviews" of the people who are doing 1 star votes. It becomes blindingly obvious where the votes are coming from as well as who actually read the book.

Pathetic.

9. Remember to go thru ALL the reviews and...
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 05:25 PM by Rosco T.
.. click the 'No' button on the "Was this review helpful to you?" for the freeped reviews and 'YES' on the good ones... the more helpful, them more those reviews come to the top...

ALSO, on the really 'vile' one, click the 'report this review' as being inappropriate

13. They are truly desperate
And it's funny that you posted this because yesterday a family member who HATES Dems sent me a link to this book. The book title in itself is hilarious.... Just out of curiosity I read the reviews and nearly wet myself laughing when I read the first one on this page ("Gore needs counseling"):
