Michael Moore: missing from bookstores

… compared to a couple of years ago.

1. Bestsellers by the repulsive Michael Moore (sporting his “smart casual” look in the photo above).

2. An endless selection of Don’t-You-Hate-Dubya books.

3. Brown-nosing biographies of Barack Obama. Even the book-buyers of the West Village, Santa Monica and Madison, Wisconsin, have worked out that he’s *not a very good president*.

[Cronos]

This is sooooo true

[Cronos]

oops, I should have put the alert that one should avert their eyes before seeing blubber butt

[gusopol3]

Just what I was going to say, that one really hits the pit of the stomach.

Our sales of all my books, "Patriot's History of the U.S.," "48 Liberal Lies," "Seven Events that Made America," and "What Would the Founders Say?" have all been consistent, and jumped quite a bit with Father's day. From a publishing standpoint, all have been winners, although obviously PHUSA was a blockbuster (almost 1/2 million in print---not bad for a 1000 history book by two unknowns at tht time).

What is most surprising is that our new book, "A Patriot's History Reader," isn't due out until this week, but it's already had some of the best pre-sales of any of my books, and O'Reilly listed it as one of the three best books of summer. I find every book store I go into has plenty of copies, although PHUSA is no longer in Wal-Mart and Target as it was last year.

What happened to (at?) his much-ballyhooed stint at a Florida weight-loss clinic?

Thanks Cronos.

Fat on free enterprise.

Shouldn’t MM be singing the “I’m too sexy for my shirt” song? How revoltingly pathetic.

[Puckster]

I thank you too....I love you man!!!!!!!!!!

That picture of the fat slob is disgusting, how can this guy have any credibility, even that given by the left? Just proves to me that the left is a bunch of craven idolators.

I thank you too....I love you man!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the tawdry photo.

How did the recent speech at YAF go? And I am compelled to ask, what’s being related, or said, about GOP candidates?

You are doing great w your books. Glenn Beck likes to put out books under his own name that are really co-written. “The Original Argument” is an example. He praises the young author over the radio but when you look at Amazon it appears to be written by Glenn, who by now is really an impresario and talent scout.

Sporting his “people of Wal Mart” look. Puke. Probably gets food stamps.

Where’s the original author?, June 25, 2011
By
L.Berry Paolic “NightStar” (Katy, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Original Argument: The Federalists’ Case for the Constitution, Adapted for the 21st Century (Paperback)
If I want to read a simplified version of the Federalist Papers (which I don’t really because the originals are not THAT difficult to understand) then I would prefer to see Joshua Charles’ original re-adaptation of them. I think that’s his name ... I don’t see it anywhere on the book cover, nor does Amazon credit him in any way as the person who originally wrote this book. As usual Beck, Inc. has to take credit for EVERYTHING even though I don’t think he has actually written a book by himself .. ever.

This book is NOT a true and un-agendized re-telling of the original Papers. It is highly biased to the point of totally re-wording the various arguements so they sound like they are being spoken by Rush Limbaugh, the Vanity, or Beck himself. I didn’t finish the book ... it was so obviously conservative, big-money, America-is-always-right biased, it began to bore me.

If you want to know what our Founders really thought, read the original documents (use some Cliff notes or other aids to understanding them, there are plenty out there), don’t waste time with this highly agendized, biased, lets-publish-another-book-and-make-more-money drivel.

Beck says he wants EVERYONE to read this important book .. OK, so reduce it to 100 pages or so and make it a free ebook download. Oh wait ... you can’t make money that way!

I would like to see Joshua’s original manuscript .. he may have captured the essence of the Founders writings in simpler language. But we’ll never know now that the Beck Empire got hold of it. Profit, profit.

PHUSA was a blockbuster. . .

Only because it is a terrific book. People recommend great books to others, the word builds. Seven Events, likewise. Haven't read the others.

Why is it we have to depend on the foreign press to learn the truth about our current affairs?!? Duhhh...
