Help Me Fight The "Slandering" of Ann Coulter's New Book, "Treason" on Amazon
Today | Paul Klenk

Posted on 06/26/2003 10:20:38 PM PDT by paulklenk

As many of you know, Ann Coulter's new book "Treason" has jumped to number 2 on Amazon's Best Seller list.

However, those who hate Coulter and what she stands for are attacking her book, by using the "recommendations" feature at Amazon. "Mein Kampf" and "Big Lies: Right Wing Propaganda" are the only two choices being offered as recommendations. Of course, this is a nasty bit of slander against Ann.

Here is a link to Treason's page at Amazon.

There are two things you can do to help quash this effort:

1. Recommend another book. If we all start off by recommending the same book, it has a good chance of showing up. Feel free to recommend your own, too, but don't fail to recommend OUR choice: USE THE FOLLOWING ISBN NUMBER to make sure we are recommending the same item: 1400046610, which is Ann's book Slander. If you can come up with a better title, post the title and the ISBN number here so the rest of us can follow suit.

2. Let Amazon know that the other recommedations are inappropriate. Under the book recommendations, there is a link which says "Let us know if any of these recommendations are inappropriate." Follow that link and click "no" next the appropriate title, starting with "Mein Kampf."

Freep away in mass quantities, folks, and make me proud. You may run into some technical difficulties along the way. If you do, report back here and let's see if we can't share the solutions as well.

You better sue me then. Or bitch slap me.

I think you might come off better by taking a legal course. Unless you like being dead! ;0)

<< Uh, don't people around here encourage the same actions when a liberal book is the subject? >>

The difference is between Truth and insult and lies and libel.

We stick with the truth. The envy-motivated and hatred and rage-engined liberal psychosis knows no truths.

I merely had a vision of the Monty Python skit where you could go to an office and hire an argument.

Geeeeezuuuuuuzzzz!! Men are so easily argued into submission these days!!!

Takes a lot more than arguing to get me into a submitting sort of space. S'true. My wife can attest to it.

Interesting that you pinged me. I just wrote an email to Amazon about this.

My complaint was that Amazon would allow an insult to their customers to be put up. The implication of that recommendation is anyone who would read Treason is a NAZI or NAZI sympathizer.

I also added the ethnic insult aspect. Being an American of German descent, I take it as an insult.

I told them that I had just ordered Treason, but I will wait for their response before I decide to purchase anything from them again.

>>Well, I might get a rational thinking on the whole Harry Potter thing, if I bothered to actually READ one of the books! <<

Don't do it. Harry Potter is the devil's handmaiden--evil, I tell you.

Done and done. You may want to note that the top three reviews of Coulter's previous book, Slander, are written by raving leftists and yet - after a year on the market, mind you - the book is in the number 24 sales slot.

I don't use my time to slam books I will not read, such as Hitlery's. That maniacal socialists take the time to submit entries on Amazon concerning Right-thinking literature is evidence only of how powerful such literature is in the free market. Such reviews and recommendations do nothing to harm the sale of good books, and may actually be proof of their appeal to a very wide audience.

Here's how the Left view Ann:

"Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn....All shall love me and despair!"

How Right-thinking people view Ann:

"May it be a light for you in dark places."

I hit the "not appropriate" box on Mein Kampf.

Let's not forget that Hitler was a leftist who believed in essentially everything that the RATS believe today. The only difference is that the modern-day socialists hate businesspeople and conservatives instead of Jews.

For example the RAT Attorney General of Callifornia, Bill Lockyer, publicly wished there was some way that Ken Lay could be forced into a jail cell and sodomized by someone named "Bubba".

This is the same guy that pronounced Scott Peterson guilty without a trial. Two examples of what passes for justice their world...

BTW, did everyone notice that Amazon has reduced the price of Hitlery's fiction? It's now 40% off, not 30% as it was yesterday!

I went to Target yesterday to take a picture of it at 30% off, but there were none to be found!!!!

Did you also notice that the price for "Lying History" is now $16.80. By the end of next month, Amazon will be will pay shipping and and give you $10 to take the book off their hands.

Make sure you "rate" the comments they made..."Was this helpful to you?" Vote NO on their slanderous comments, and vote YES on good comments.

Done. My contribution to Amazon:

I am a loyal customer at Amazon and am disappointed in the book recommendations under Ann Coulter's newest top rated book. I believe allowing the books re: bitch and eating disorders is a bad reflection on your good business. Thank you in advance to your attention to this!
