Conservatives can read. Many libs can not.

[txroadkill]

interesting, but all that really proves is that Republicans buy more books (Or know how to read) from Amazon.

“Amazon.com has found a way to capitalize on one of the most interesting presidential elections in U.S. history...”

I guess. I don’t particularly find the choice between a moderate Democrat and an openly racist class warfare Marxist to be particularly interesting.

More dangerous than “interesting”. A very treachersous time for our Republic.

Proving once again that people who actually READ about politics vote Republican, people who EMOTE about politics and are “passionate” about their “issues” are democrats.

I sell on eBay and I can tell you flat out. Liberal books don’t sell for squat.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Really? Why? Can these jackasses just shut up and sell sh!t, please? Do we REALLY need every facet of our existence tied to this %@#$ing election? Is there ANY aspect of my life where I don’t have to process the names Obama or McCain?

[Question Liberal Authority]

One liberal scam is to publish a bunch of liberal books that nobody will read and then have libraries across the country buy them by the truckload.

Picture of leftist book club gathering...

The other day I was listening to a talk about networks where the speaker shows a network map of what book people read. The map shows that conservative readers read books that cite mostly other conservative books in the loop, while liberal readers read books that cite many more books outside the loop.

The speaker then argues that it shows conservatives' closed-networks of ideas that may be dangerous because they don't recevieve any new ideas. Meanwhile, liberals' networks of ideas are open. (Or, in the words of Ron Burt, they have many structural holes).

As a bookworm/junky, this is fascinating. It’s interesting to see what each state is reading. I need to go adjust my wishlist.

[Aliska]

It's encouraging but I don't think too meaningful. I haven't bought any books, especially political books, for a long time. I'll wait and get them from the library or second hand, read what I need from the web.

So there will be more conservatives like me not represented there, but more importantly, many, many poor Democrats who don't buy political books and especially from amazon because they either aren't on the web or aren't too savvy about how to make online purchases, no cc, etc.

That wasn't meant as a putdown or racist as I make online purchases from different vendors, jumping through all the hoops to register, order and then checkout which can all be confusing and you have to watch what you are doing. Lately the only thing I purchased online were 3 asters because I don't know where I could have found that kind where I live. They cost a little more due to shipping but I get exactly what I want and start many others from seeds which is cheaper.

Now I'll check out the map again. It's all a trick, a push map :-). My state is clearly blue right now, not what they are showing. But it's fun and a diversion.

[giotto]

Liberals don’t buy books, they steal them. That’s harder to do when the store is online.

[NewHampshireDuo]

If you click the timeframe, the country is bluer earlier this year. For the past 60 days even CA has lost its blue and is now 50/50. Not sure what it means but it’s interesting.

I hope it doesn’t violate policy to post a link (I thought everyone would like to know what all the hullaballoo is over) :-D\.
