Pelosi adheres to her illiberal fascism in every aspect of her life. It seems she wields her totalitarian "fairness doctrine" far and wide. Lone Pony is reporting that she is scrubbing Amazon of bad reviews - were there any other kind?
Nancy Pelosi had over 100 BAD reviews of her failed book disappear from Amazon's site yesterday! Ironically, the name of the book, "Know your Power" ... appropriate and is eerily Chavez-like. She must have been inspired by Obama's meticulous scrubbing of his website, the surge, and google's removal of images of his birth certificate.
Boy, they sure can clean for folks so dirty. Ain't free speech grand.

Nancy Pelousy sure has a big totalitarian streak.
Its absolutely true that they toss out well over 100 comments (I made mine on Friday night).
So I stood there and wrote another review. And I’ll back tomorrow...when they remove this one...and add another. I “hot-paged” the site and I’m actually improving my negative commenting each time I write one of these. Amazon lacks ethics...but then I didn’t really expect much from them anyway.
I read a few out loud at work yesterday and they were quite funny. Her book isn’t going anywhere regardless of her censorship. She is proving herself everyday as a lost speaker with losing power in the same.
I thougfht it was..”I was born a Coat-hangers daughter”.
There is a morbid hilarity in that witticism!
that happened to me once!
i wrote a review of a computer book that was very poorly written; the author attempted 3x to explain a concept and failed 3x.
‘puter books are not cheap. mine was purchased for a college class.
so i wrote the above review.
turns out the book was written by a female and feminists demanded that my negative review be removed.
it was replaced with “gee, it’s so nice to have a book written by a woman in a computer world of males. i use it to teach my computer class.”
Or what? That's funny. Amazon isn't a public forum and they're free to delete their comments as they want.
Rats are far ahead of the GOP is use and manipulation of the internet. This must change.
As we are free to put them right back in again.
I expect what's happened is many comments are going beyond reviews of the book and are about Pelosi and politics in general.
Amazon is in the business of selling, not in providing a free forum. Pointing the finger at them and crying “Censorship!” while at the same time demanding they keep certain posts is the ultimate irony.
So if Bush & Cheney are ever impeached, this one becomes Prez?
That is terrifying.
B.R.B.
Also the one-star reviews are building up again.
You would think she would catch on. Hundreds of one star reviews, Republicans nearly rioting when she cut off their closing speaches to the press, openly stating she will not "allow" a vote on offshore drilling, etc. But then again she really is a nutjob.
Check out number fifteen in "Other Related Qualities:" which is only about one quarter of the way down from the top.
bump!

So right now Big Sister is leading the way for Big Brother.

This is good. It's amazing how well it fits her.
