The rest of your points are irrelevant to this message, which is no surprise since you haven’t actually read my message but are instead just spamming your talking points memo to every comments-enabled blog you can find that discusses that BBS.

2. Like most web BBSs anyone can post there.

3. ONE person said he planned to damage or hide the book. Borders has 32,000 employees. And yet, the title of your post is “Borders Employees: Unfit for Retail.” Generalize much? In your haste to call all booksellers moonbats, does it occur to you that there might actually be employees who are conservatives?

4. Did you note that the majority of people on that thread told Takahashi that what he was advocating was wrong?

5. Borders could really not give a shit about the political content of a book so long as it SELLS. Borders is a Fortune 500 company, that will sell whatever people want to buy.

6. Regnery has stated openly that they drastically underestimated demand for the book and only did a 50,000 copy first print run AND moved up the release date, leading to scarcity at ALL retailers. YOu can check out their statement at Regnery.com. Everyone has plenty of stock now.

At littlegreenfootballs.com, one poster said she planned to ruin books by liberal authors by placing gum in the pages. So, based on her one post, I am going to start saying that littlegreenfootballs and everyone who reads that site advocates destruction and vandalism of private property. Does that sound fair? Of course not.

One final note – were you aware that Borders hosted the co-author of the book, James Corsi, at a book signing event in August? Yeah. Sounds like a bunch of real liberal loonies!

Pull your heads out of your fundaments and THINK.
1. It was the Borders *Union* website, which does not represent Borders but people who work for Borders and are DISSATISFIED with the company

4. It’s an election year. Anti-incumbent books are popular in an election year. When Bill Clinton was up for re-election every other book was an anti-Clinton book.

5. THe front tables of bookstores are stocked with RECENT releases. Anything older than a few weeks will be shelved in the section unless it’s a bestseller.

7. A lot of the Bill Clinton books were shipped at the release date, so yeah, there was a big display. Whether you like it or not, it’s still on the bestseller list, so it remains displayed although NOT on the new books front table.

One final note – were you aware that Borders hosted the co-author of the book, James Corsi, at a book signing event in August? So, if you were boycotting Borders, that would have presented a bit of a moral dilemma, eh?

Crawl back into your cave, moron.

Malkin? Who is clearly and idiot?

You really do need to cite someone with some degree of reliability. And, no, your pseudo-German translations (referencing your Arnie post) aren’t very good.

I share a lot of the prejudices of the people you’re talking about with respect to politics – and if this is what they’re doing, it’s inexcusable. At the same time, it would be less of a problem if there were fewer chains and more independant bookstores.
