Take a second to read through the astonishing postings (link below) on Borders unions website. As you will see... the attached postings are primarily from really annoyed liberals, and a couple of them refer to ongoing tactics to keep UNFIT FROM COMMAND away from the public.
Here's one example:
"We're 'finding' that most of the few copies we're getting are damaged and need to be sent back, so sad. Too bad, Bushies! Regnery needs to be more careful. I'm hearing from people at 2 other stores that this seems to be common.
Why should we help destroy what's left of our country?"
or how 'bout this one...
"You can probably get Regnery's corporate number from Books in Print or off the web. I'd keep it handy and then whenever a customer asks for this book, tell them that Regnery isn't keeping this book stocked and it may be because Regnery is a pinko-commie-fag publisher who's trying to bury this story by not printing enough copies of this book. Tell them you even read on the web that Hillary Clinton is on Regnery's Board of Directors.
And, after all, you did just read on the web that she's on the Board and that it's pinko-commie-fag publisher so you wouldn't be lying. Well, maybe you shouldh't use "pinko-commie-fag." How about pacifist lesbian outfit? Not that there's anything wrong with that."
...or this one...
"You guys don't actually HAVE to sell the thing!
"Just 'carelessly' hide the boxes, 'accidentally' drop them off pallets, 'forget' to stock the ones you have, and then suggest a nice Al Franken or Micheal Moore book as a substitute. Borders wants those recommends, remember?
"I don't care if these Neandertals in fancy suits get mad at me, they aren't regular customers anyway. Other than 'Left Behind' books, they don't read. Anything you can do to make them feel unwelcome is only fair. They are the people pushing retailers to cut costs, don't forget. And they would censor your speech, your books, your music in a heartbeat, so give them a taste of it!
"Don't get mad, get even!"
Unbelievable!

Typically publishers accept back damaged returns at no cost. Given this information, Regnery should refuse to refund money for damaged copies. Let Borders eat the cost of their employees (illegal) vandalism.
I despise Borders. Its a store for Liberal losers.
Sounds to me like sooner is better!
Thanks for posting these remarks by the union thugs at Borders.
Just another example of the little brown shirted Nazis in Borders doing the old Nazi thing about books that expose them.
Borders is a rat infected left wing brownshirt organization that doesn't deserve any business from real conservatives.
$crew them and boycott them!
they have a lot of gay people working there. at least at the ones i used to go to.
I am thinking of boycotting barnes and noble too because i think something fishy is going on there with the political books.
I believe that their servers have just been toasted.
Price = $16.97
2nd Day Air = $11.48
Total =$28.45
That is less money than $27.95 plus sales tax at Borders and I don't have to drive over there. I have a shipping confirmation email, so I know it is in stock.
Very interesting. I went to Borders last week to buy this book. The computer kiosk said it was in stock, but no one could seemto find it.
I couldn't get any of your links to work...is it me?
Borders has condoned, fostered and allowed this behavior since the 1990's. I gave up on them when I tried to by Rush's first book.
Make sure Regenery Press knows about this.
They don't have to take back damaged books, and Borders will have to suck it up and either sell them or pay Regenery for them for intentionally damaging the stock.
Bastages!
Someone send this to Drudge.
aye the site is down. borders mgt. probably got scared. cowards!
Just e-mailed Rush, Sean, Laura, Brit, O'Reilly, Scarborough & a couple more.
Ping!
Neither link in your post work! I was about to send Borders an email with the links and the following comment:
I was preparing to purchase several expensive computer programming manuals from your company. After reading these comments from your employees I will take my business to a more ethical company:
[links]
I will let my friends know about this and recommend that they look elsewhere for their books, too.
Heck, I'm still boycotting them for the whole face scanning camera security system thing.
its the same story at barnes and noble. It is a dirty, liberal political statement and i refuse to buy books from people who censor critics of someone as foul as kerry
Great job Dio.
With many of us, the first thing that came into our minds when we read about this outrage was the Nazi Book Burning before the Nazis plunged Europe into total hell.
