Lies. Real statement: “We are intolerant liberals and we hate allowing contrary thoughts. Also we curry favor with Obama this way. But we will have to put the Damn book back.”

My wife called and told them in no uncertain terms how she felt about them pulling the book. Lady said she was told to put it back on the shelves.

They will put a token amount of these books back on the shelves and “quickly sell out” and slowly and quietly remove all copies.

“market forces do work.”

if so, costco should pull the plug on the badly selling hillary book.

They pulled D’Sousza’s book. Now here’s a twisty little issue - are they stocking Her Thighness’ book even though it’s not selling worth an Obama?

If D’Souza was a toe-sucking, commie ‘RAT, Costco would be called “racist” for doing this.

I wonder how Hillary’s book is faring by comparison.

They seemed to have no problem stocking Hillarys book and holding book signings

The market is the most democratic institution ever created- one dollar, one vote.

Costco is run by ardent leftists. That is a well known fact.

... And Hillary’s book signing at costco in northern va bombed.... Photos were just camera angles. I know the store; costco does not own the property and it is $20 if you park more than 2 hours. Always a big line to get in the store

As a very positive side-effect, D'Souza gets a TON of (well-deserved) publicity!

BTW, I already have (and recommend to all here) D'Souza's book (Kindle version in my case), and I'll be sure to go see the film, as well.

And only slightly related, I saw Mrs. Clinton's (ghost writer's) book on display at Sam's Club. They had books displayed on every level of the shelf, and each section of books pushed out to the very edge of the shelf. In other words, not one had been removed and bought.

Oh, horsepoop; they kept Hillary’a book on the shelves. And why would the CEO make the original announcement in the first place? Of course it was a political statement.

Hey, Costco, don’t pee on my leg then tell me it’s raining.

Costco owner was interviewed on 60 Minutes many years ago and he’s truly a dem libtard.

Not one penny of mine will flow into Costco’s account. Embrace the suck, Costco.

I believe them, because they only carry about 200 books at any time, that’s how they can keep prices lower by buying fewer books but in bulk.

EXCEPT it doesn’t explain why they had Clinton’s book so prominent when it is hardly selling, unless they made the mistake of paying up front for those or something, which not book-buyer ever does.

No, market forces did not work. If they did, people would have simply bought the book from Amazon or another retailer, and not shopped at Costco.

Conservatives acted just like the leftists that we're supposed to oppose.

BTW, I'm not a Costco fan, I don't have a membership, and would never set a dead foot in their store.
