Nasty response to Amazon.com reviews
I had initially responded to a poster who reviewed Franken's new book gloating that the book already had 50 for resale...

"More than 50 copies of this book now available for REsale on
Amazon.com says it all: even the lefties can't wait to dump it."

I posted: "More than 78 copies of this book now available for REsale on Amazon.com says it all: even the freepers can't wait to dump it."

And now we have...

Reviewer: Smutpusher (Liberal) from Hamas-loving "Palestine"
Hannity's book's been out for ONE YEAR AND THREE MONTHS, you dweeb. Disgracefully, not just like Franken but all liberal scourge (like Moore and Ivins), you seem to have the infamous liberal hobby of playing fast and loose with the facts down pat! Knuckledragger, if you'd honestly compare Franken's used books for sale to Hannity's, you'd accurately project Franken's to reach a terrifyingly evil TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY by the time Franken's book reaches a year and three months being on sale, just like you've unjustly compared Hannity's to, you welfare-recipient.

>>>He even named me by name!

So I just posted again...

"Check out Coulter, she is already up to nearly 30. hehehe
Real big man who chooses not to post their real name or Amazon ID. You are just as cowardly as the dolt in the White House. Bring it on, indeed."

1. Forgive me, but...
Don't the resale quantities indicate frugal people who have actually read the book?

2. I think that's Franken himself
the reviewer's name "smut-pusher Liberal from Hamas-loving Palestine" is just too funny to be real. :-)

3. Hmmmmm
Maybe is has something to do with well-educated liberals being able to READ a book in less than a year and three months? I finished Franken's book in an afternoon, as I'm sure many people did, and now they've read it they are ready to pass it on to someone else so they can spend the money on ANOTHER book.... while the freepers are still running their fingers along the words in Hannity's book!

6. Um, more books for resale..

9. A little comic relief for the morning! Freeper's are always out
witted by liberals, I think that's why they're so angry. There's this counter convention web page that for some odd reason the owners decided to leave unmoderated. Needless to say the freepers were have a field with vulgarities about Democrats until I crashed the page with The Angry Vulgar Insult Coalition, Sheep O'Witless,& The Incumbatory Advantitude Support Group among others. I didn't use one vulgarity or references to labels such as stupid etc, I just let superior wording do the job. It was great fun for the evening getting under the skin of freepers, they just can't compete unless they use inept, mindless insults.

10. Wow, he still keeps going on!
irnmtn25, a RADICAL CLOSET LIB; Harlow, a BUSHHATING LIBERAL, November 28, 2003
Reviewer: Smutpushing Liberal from San Francisco, Liberal Breeding Ground
Harlow, your incurable penchant for failing in your thought processes still haunts you. Dopehead, if you take Coulter's book, which has been out LONGER than Franken's, to somehow idiotically botch that her used book count is worse than Franken's, it still wouldn't compute, Neanderthal. As for your near-blinding, red anger for Bush, it's clear that you're a liberal democrat, anti-war protesting, socialist, environmentalist, activist, free-trade protesting, secularist fearmonger, who likely feeds your Bush hatred by hanging around the same ilk: No, not terrorists, just members of the DNC.

irnmtn25, your message was wretchedly idiotic as well as shamelessly dishonest. With your democratic flaws in character (ridiculing Bush for risking his life by flying into Iraq & cursing Fox News in your unreasonable underground mentality) you're NOT an independent, you annoyance, Bill O' Reilly IS. Smutpusher was libeled a coward by Harlow, and yet you only condemned Smutpusher BUT NOT Harlow--such blind-seething discrimination could only come from the opposite end of the political spectrum, you foul liar. Your review was uselessly stupid, squandering half on "the little war". That exaggeration, as well as your cancerous tendency to breathlessly and excitably leap to conclusion and analyze things in the most unenlightened rationale, are implications for you to be arraigned as a CLOSET LIBERAL, and a dastard.

11. I work in at a Borders
Edited on Sat Nov-29-03 02:25 AM by booley
so it's funny this shouldl come up.. becuase I have returned a few of Franken's books and all for the same reason... because they were gifts and the person had already gone out and gotton it the day it came out.

The book is still discounted 30% and we only do that with the popular selling books.

Mr. Hamas lover whatever is an idiot. especially when he claims that "liberals" play fast and loose with the facts... but can't seem to point out any facts we did this with.
