From yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle — “Bay Area not maverick enough to read Palin book“:

“Our customers are thinking people,” said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. “They’re not into reading drivel.”

Got it, Nathan.

Here’s a selection of some of the non-drively, thinky-type books Mr. Embretson carries at his store, per the Pendragon Books website:

Inside Job: Unmasking the 9-11 Conspiracies (Paperback)

By Jim Marrs

Inside Job is the definitive journalistic account of the hidden role of the Bush Whitehouse in perpetrating the 9/11 attacks......

I’ll bet you that Barney Frank book is FLYING off the shelves there. ;)

Nathan is a lunatic clone.

Okay, my first reaction to that quote, without even researching their website, was, “Oh yes you is!”

Now, having seen that list, my second reaction is “Man, they really are into reading drivel.”

I’m sure Alinsky is a big seller.

My experience with the elite left is that they are generally ignorant and quite often just plain stupid. I think that’s why the feel it necessary to continually put others down.

I once told a leftist that perhaps the election of Obama proves that Voltaire was right about democracy. Not only did he not have a clue what I was talking about, he thought I was complementing Obama.

God forbid ‘thinking people’ should read something by someone they might not agree with.

And that goes for many here as well.

The irony is rich

[Mengerian]

This stooge wouldn't know an intelligent tome if it hit him in the face. I'm sure his literary bailiwick extends to subjects of faggotry, socialism, flag desecration, and drug use.

[wku man]

Come on...Pendragon Books? No doubt they have first-edition D and D manuals, and hold Wiccan rituals in the stock room every Wednesday after closing time. In his free time, ol' Nathan is probably trying to build a working light saber...he's a Jedi Knight, you know.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I called the bookstore yesterday and Nathan wasn’t available for some odd reason.

The woman I talked to was a typical libtard, spewing the whole “diversity” line of BS and she ended up hanging up on me.

Feel free to give them a call:

"...reading drivel"?

They are drivel!

[crusty old prospector]

I haven’t thought about Dungeons and Dragons in a long time. Every nerd at my school played it. I bet their kids are now playing the video version.

[jroneil]

If it is not a 2 second sound bite they can not comprehend it so it must be dumb

[DPMD]

if the judgment of the book is in, that would suggest the geniuses at the stores have read it, right?

sure.

[pallis]

Liberal drivel is the worst drivel ever dribbled by drivel dribblers.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Those comments are typical of many on the left who are willful victims of their own ignorance and intellectual laziness.

We perceive our waste moments before it gets flushed away or tossed in the dumpster. How changing this creates "solidarity" and "peace" I'm not sure.

[badgerlandjim]

Walter, The Farting Dog is near the top of the list.

[FlyVet]

Yep, them thinkin' San Franciscans. They done voted fer people and policies that have put them $500,000,000 in debt, lookin' fer a bailout, last I heard.

That there city is just one giant think tank.

Liberals FEEL Nathan. They haven't "thought" since 1913. bwaaahahahahahahaha. Sheeple Feel, People Think. M0r0n!
