"Obama Nation".... Corsi's screed about Obama....
is on sale at Costco, fer crissakes!

I wrote out one of the little "customer comment" cards in the store and will write to corporate HQ.

How come Corsi and the others at Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain get NO traction, but an anti-Obama, Regnery published POS gets to Costco?

Explain to me again why we have to play fair with McCain?

I have asked this question every goddam time anything about McSame's POW record is posted on DU....

Why hasn't the MSM jumped on this the way they did with Kerry?

I wouldn't believe Sampley and those Swiftboat assholes if they told me it was daylight, but the MSM has paid no attention to this issue (non-issue?)

Where are the scurrilous books, the hate-filled LTTEs, the pompous editorials asking McSame for full disclosure that Kerry got?

And the posters who say this all happened 40 years ago? Tell Kerry that.

DUers should not bring this shit up.... but where is the media at least referring to the "swiftboaters at it again"?

1. I'd rather see it get no coverage at all.
Coverage is just free advertising.

I'm guessing those who buy it are anti-Obama anyway, and it'll just reinforce their beliefs (fears).

2. Costco is a dumping ground for unsellable books
...and most people know it.

5. No, that's not true
They do carry a lot of books that might not have done well in general distribution, but they also carry books that they know will sell. Their vetting process of authors and publicists is quite intense, and nothing finds its way into Costco by accident. If they didn't think it would sell well, they wouldn't be carrying it.

4. When I see any of their propaganda books for sale in a display I
turn them around so the cover is not visible or put some other book in front of it. My daughters have a fit but as far as I know I am not doing anything illegal.

6. All these posts are just fine...
but ..... I say again...

Why is McCain's "traitor" status with VVAJM getting NO traction in the MSM? Even to scoff at it.

Shit... I haven't even seen any fake LTTEs from DU types pretending to be anti-McCain rightwingnut swiftboaters.

I've looked at the VVAJM site, and the late Dave Hackworth's piece is pretty devastating. Most of the other stuff is obviously bullshit, but no more obvious than the stuff that sunk Kerry with a lot of people.
