I hope this is not true. IF it is I hope they change their mind. I don’t appreciate my “grocery” store trying to censor anything.

If we applaud Hobby Lobby and its leadership for standing by is values we have no basis for condemning the leadership of Costco for standing by its values, even though we vehemently disagree with those “values.”

Private businesses.

Nomenklatura - Literally, “name list”, if you are on it, then you get all the favors and sugar, and if you’re on the dissident list then Their Doctors come to a finding that you are insane, and you are carted off to a “hospital for treatment”.

When 700 copies of a book are sold system-wide in a week, it’s hard to claim it was done for political reasons. That’s just not enough volume to keep it on the tables when space is limited. I would imagine Hillary’s book has also been pulled or will be shortly.

The competition to get products placed at Costco is fierce and if products don’t meet sales expectations, they get pulled.

Does Jerome Corsi ever post anything that is truthful? I suspect this is more sensationalist grand-standing by this fraud.

Well well, how timely. I was about to purchase a membership with Costco.

I’ve decided to remove myself from Costco.

Sales of 700 copies in one week spread over 464 stores is going to get any book pulled. That’s barely 1.5 books per U.S. location per week. With those numbers and limited space, I would pull it, too. Don’t read too much into it.

Something else to consider; Costco is closed on:

Easter
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas

Costco also doesn’t have a problem with it’s employees wishing you a Merry Christmas or saying phrases such as “God bless you.”

Costco also pays its employee some of the highest wages in the retail business and provides good health care; at least before Obamacare.

Between the Halal lamb and now this we are going to have to re-think our Costco membership.

Can we assume they’ve pulled Hillary’s book also?

A figurative book burning of a non-correct ideology. Let’s see where did that happen before??

As soon as I heard about it I went to the Costco website, then the link to membership change, put in my number and requested that my membership be canceled, then requested that I receive no further communication via mail or e-mail and finally clearly stated the reason why.

Time for the bastards at Costco to be visited by a barrage of calls, e-mails and letters.

I plan to drop my membership and switch to Sam’s CLub.

Spoke with people in the administrative offices in five different Houston Costco’s and they confirmed that the book has already been pulled. None acknowledged knowing the reason why and would not share the name of the person who sent them the email.

Too bad. We didn’t buy much from them but have had a card for our company for three years and certainly won’t buy anything from now on.
