Christian heretics.. FAKE book sales!

How to Write a Best Seller

Reported by Judy - May 8, 2005

Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin is one lucky guy. He writes a book on the arcane subject of the constitutional role of the judicial branch and it turns into a best seller.

How convenient that Levin has a conservative radio talk show on which he can promote his book. How convenient that Rush Limbaugh, who wrote the introduction, also has a conservative radio talk show on which to promote his friend's book.

What a coincidence that Levin wrote a book on the "tyranny" of the U.S. Supreme Court just at the moment that Senate Republican leaders decide to end the use of the filibuster for judicial nominees.

What a coincidence that conservative religious groups such as Focus on the Family had the brainstorm to schedule Justice Sunday just as Levin's book is attracting attention.

What a coincidence that Focus on the Family decided a good way to prep for the Justice Sunday event was to read Levin's book so it promoted it on its website. It didn't just promote the book, however, it sold copies of the book for a "suggested donation" of $28. What a coincidence that a "donation" could be tax-deductible.

What a coincidence that Focus on the Family bought the books and its purchases would count in the book's sales whether anybody ever made a "suggested donation" in order to have one mailed to them.

And what a coincidence that with Focus on the Family listing Levin's book as a "recommended resource" on its website, it becomes a New York Times best seller, which guarantees more publicity for Levin's book.

All those coincidences make me wonder what goes on behind the scenes in conservative circles. Or am I being too cynical?

Another reason why the heretics need to have their books investigated.

Organized religion is a crutch for the weak. But it is also a tool for the evil.

Which in turn acts to stifle any critique, since most people don't want to be seen as attacking one another on the basis of faith.

"Religion" in the cynical context these groups use it acts as both a tool and offers political cover for these scumbags.

Two heads serving different masters....but commonly get intermingled.

Levin, Hannity and Rushbo work for corporate entities and feast off the predominately white, middle age male ignorance and rage via hate radio on the AM band. Their masters are the Scaiffes and Murdochs who profit from media "consolidation" that has turned the commerical portion of the broadcast bands into their private plantations.

The other part...and a silent one to most...is "religious" broadcasting...the home of the Dobsons and Hagees and other zealots who hide at the "far end of the dial"...using public airwaves as "non-profit" (making their big hauls off "donations"). It's almost exclusively Evangelical and rarely will you hear a liberal voice or perspective presented.

For years they served a common master...boooshie and the GOOP, but now they're starting to cover their own asses. What will be interesting is how they handle a loss in November...and which sides they'll take when the knives come out.
