I bet you're making up this too. I'm willing to bet there was no such awards ceremony ever held. Your fingers move and lies come out.
Are you saying that the book is the #1 non-fiction paperback debut in over forty years?
Really, really surprising that we have people on Free Republic that accuse you of thread spamming when you are posting facts. It isn't lost on the audience I'm sure. Of course the fact that your accuser hasn't ever posted anything of value to rebut arguments (other than that which has been easily debunked) should not sway one's opinion. LOL!!! These guys are still trying. And losing. Thank-you AG for all you do.
Rob, there was an awards ceremony but you weren't invited.
He certainly cut me off. He holds the switch to the audio and there is nothing you can do about that. But he is clearly misinformed about the statistics on his book. He's wrong again.
No. And neither is he. Where did you get that? At least now I know what your voice sounds like. Pretty good, you could surely be a professional speaker. I'm impressed. His non-fiction book (about taxes for pete's sake) is going to debut at #3 on the NYT bestseller list. As a paperback this is historical. Only two other paperbacks have beaten that record in the last 50 years.
Why is that?
FYI ping Ms GA
Listen, I think Boortz is an idiot. He completely blew his premise in the first edition and then tried to cover it up in the second. He is full of crap. But I don't see how he was misinformed about the statistics. Actually I don't really give a r's a. He is at least getting the message out. Nothing like this is going to get passed without a hell of a lot of debate.
Seems like we have been ahead of the curve on that.
From Nealz Nuze today
Yesterday we got the first numbers for sales of the soft cover edition of The FairTax Book. We debuted as No. 3! Now ... a little historical perspective. In the 1950's Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Weisel's book "Night" debuted as No 1. on the New York Times paperback list. Then in 1966 Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" debuted as No. 2. Now, in 2006, The FairTax Book debuts as No. 3! This is the highest first week for a paperback in 40 years!
See post 20 above for more information about why this is wrong
It is going to debut as #3 on the Non-fiction Paperback Bestseller list, not the overall list. All the books on that list are paperbacks.
Your post 20 skidded by me. I don't doubt it is correct. Like I said, he is an ashule and a jerk. But at least he is, shall I say it, stirrin' the puddin'.
Gotta hit the hay.
The really stupid part is that I told Belinda I was just trying to get them to take a closer look at what they were saying because it was wrong. She put me on hold, came back a minute later, said I sounded "jealous" and told me that Neal wanted to discuss it after the break.
I had no intention of going on the air, I was standing outside my dentist office waiting to go in. But I did.
And he wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise to explain why I was calling. He just assumed I was doubting his #3 next week claim, I guess. Which I wasn't. He just acted belligerent and cut me off. Now he gets to crabwalk back again.
And thanks for the positive comments about my voice.
I just bought this book the other night at the grocery store. If Linder is gonna speak I hope we can hear him. Whenever he appears on radio shows you can barely make out what he's saying. Maybe he's one of those guys that has the phone far from his mouth.
Thanks fo rthe ping. Wish I could attend, but I accepted an invitation to give a FariTax speech here in Jacksonville on that very day! I'll be sure to plug the Hannity &Colmes show during my speech.
Judging from your attacks, it's clear the truth about the misnamed "fair tax" has definitely got out. LOL!
