Rush Promotes Teens Book, Now #5 on Amazon Bestseller list

Rush Limbaugh ^ | 8/22/08 | Edzo

[edzo4]

CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh? My name is David Beatty, and I'm 16 years old. I want to thank you for the work you do to educate America and reinforce what my parents teach us. Something I believe needs to be re-taught is the value of a strong work ethic. I want people to know that the American dream is still alive. I live in the northwest where many people sing songs of socialism. Kids at school have no idea what it really means to have a socialist society, giving up their freedoms to, quote, "Spread the wealth." And last year, we had the opportunity to have grace shine on our family. We had lost our grandfather and the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, Pete Haas stepped in and Pete was like a pillar of silent strength which we will never forget. He helped us go out and see our grandfather buried in Arlington, and these two things tied together because we wanted to thank them for their help last year, and we want to try to raise $25,000 for them from proceeds from our book, and we were wondering how much it would cost to advertise on your show, and I just wanted to talk to you person-to-person about that.

RUSH: So people can go to Amazon and pick it up with their credit card. Well, here's another $10,000 worth of advertising for you, Pulling Weeds to Picking Stocks, 11 bucks, my gosh, you can't beat that, and some of the proceeds will go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. Well, David, you learned a lesson here. It never hurts to ask for what you want.

here is the Link to amazon if you wish to buy the book

the best part is with one mention on Rush the book is listed at #5 meanwhile Nancy Pelosi book hovers in the #11,000 range despite her whirlwind media tour promoting her book, nancy why don't you let this kid explain supply and demand to you and you can stop trying too sell books and allow a vote on drilling for oil. LOL

I heard this on air today. That was very cool of Rush to promote the kid’s book.

[mnehring]

In your face-lift, Pelosi.

[Reagan Man]

Take that, Ophra.

[tsmith130]

Well, David, you learned a lesson here. It never hurts to ask for what you want.

I wonder if this kid might get an "anonymous" donation from a well known radio host.

Here is what vamoose posted at the time

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #578,596 <== watch this number @@

Now tell us, vam, did you really expect a jump to #5?
_{what is the Lotto number for tomorrow, please}

[truthluva]

This is awesome. Way to go kid.

[edzo4]

Conservatives buy books, Liberals buy bumper stickers.

[NonValueAdded]

It is already out of stock, it sold though its printing.

dunno if it was out of stock when the call started but it was OOS within one minute. For a really amazing example of the power of Rush, see post #12.

[mnehring]

WOW
Imagine if Rush had a book of the month club like Harpo.

[mnehring]

Order placed. Let’s see if he’ll get a FReeper bump to #4.

[skinkinthegrass]

It is already out of stock, it sold though its printing.....

LOL!...The power of freedom, RUSH and American Capitalism...(the sworn enemies of Worldwide Marxist-Socialist :)

[SubMareener]

Just tried to buy a couple copies, and it is sold out! Take that Pelosi!

[kimmie7]

I had bought it by the end of the conversation. LOL

[BOBTHENAILER]

nice post...I gotta buy it.

[Bosco]

Just for the record, this really drives Libs nuts.

Rush didn't tell people to buy the book, he just let the kid plug it. And now it's #5 at Amazon.

And how much camera time did the Queen Bee get for her book?

Rush is irrelevant, right?

[samiam1972]

I heard this today and was hoping someone would post an update. This is so wonderful!! I’m going to make Mr. Samiam buy this for our family.

[llandres]

“I wonder if this kid might get an “anonymous” donation from a well known radio host.”

No doubt. Rush is a GREAT American. There, I said it - and I defend and praise him to my “yet unenlightened and semi-enlightened friends”. :-)))))

[Kimmers]

Thank for the info....I will be ordering it too.....

Rush is a good man...

[Scotswife]

after I went to the amazon link my windows shut down.

odd...

[Blood of Tyrants]

According to another “news story” about a lesbian getting her own MSNBC show, Err America is a “popular liberal radio show”. I’ll bet that if Pelosi went on it to promote her book she would probably reach dozens of people.

[NonValueAdded]

I was going to suggest Barnes & Noble since they had copies when Amazon was out ... but the Our picks This Week banner ad was promoting the book by the Daily Kos guy and Obama's "Change". Matters not 'cause B&N is also sold out. They did also have "We Are Soldiers Still" by Moore & Galloway, but I didn't see Corsi's book featured.

Amazon should backorder it for you.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Conservatives buy books, Liberals buy bumper stickers.

That is the limit of their attention span.

[LadyPilgrim]

.....ping

[SeeRushToldU_So]

I ordered one, they are sold out it this time. I will get one soon.

I have a 14 year old that might be interested in this book.

[GOP_Raider]

I’m already 20 books behind, what’s one more???

[airborne]

I heard this on air today. That was very cool of Rush to promote the kid’s book.

wonderful news! You can bet Rush had this kid and his book vetted.

The bad news is, this new found wealthy citizen will have to give way too much of his earnings to the tax man.

[Grams A]

Let’s change that to say “Conservatives buy books and some conservative also buy a bumper sticker when enough is enough”. I have over 5,000 books - all of which I have read and continue to buy more. I also have ONE bumper sticker which says “CLOSE THE BORDERS NOW”.

[Shelayne]

That is sooo cool! I heard this on the radio today, and I just knew this would be the result!

Rush is a really special kind of guy. I think I’m crushin’ on him, again!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks - I’ll check this out

[Will88]

The book is pretty widely available:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Pulling+Weeds+and+Picking+Stocks&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-36,GGGL:en

Anyone who wants a copy can probably find it in online stores other than Amazon and B&N.

[proudpapa]

Temporarily out of stock.

[gidget7]

WHOA! Just went to the link, SOLD OUT! Folks now have to wait for anyother shipment.

[padre35]

That was a nice touch by Rush today, he basically saved the Teen 35,000 or more in advertising expenses by chatting with him for maybe..3 minutes? Maybe less?

[Army Air Corps]

The great thing is that a portion of the proceeds go to charity.

[Atlantian]

Still going strong. #6 on Amazon Saturday morning.
