Move, Over Oprah! (Anti-US book endorsed by Bin Laden jumps to #33 on Amazon.com)
NBC ^ | January 20, 2006 | Robert Windrem

Posted on 01/20/2006 1:02:41 PM PST by jmc1969

Yesterday I posted that the book Bin Laden mentioned in his recent audio tape was languishing at 209,572 on Amazon.com's book list. Well, take a look again today: "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower" by William Blum is, at this writing, ranked #43! According to Amazon, that means it is the 43rd best-selling book in their library. Amazing.

It is up to 33% in the last hour. It is getting talked up on DU and Dkos and other left wing boards.

Why is that not surprising? Why doesn't Peter Schweizer's book get this sort of press? Hmm..

So, this whole Bin Laden tape is just part of the publisher's PR campaign?

And the author approved of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

What? Are the Nazis on the left going to take the bin Laden bait?

They're insane. Either that, or bin Laden is one of them.

Doesn't this tell us all we really needed to know, though?

We have a presumably anti-American book. Bin Laden talks it up, then it nets wild praises on the lefty blogs and forums. Then the MSM picks it up into their PR campaign.

I notice the copyright date on this book is 2000. I wonder why OBL didn't mention a more recent addition?

I can't wait until the DUmmies realize that this book was written while their darling Billy-Bob Whore-Hopper was in office (or is that orifice?).

Let me get this straight... Anti-American idiots are going to go waste money to buy a book that they already agree with.

I support them 100% in this. Let them waste their money.
