Once I bought an anti-Michael Moore book, “Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man”, at Borders. It WAS there, but a Borders employee rolled her eyes when she saw me pick up the copy to buy it. On the way out, a family entered
and saw the display for Bill Clinton’s MY LIFE. The
daughter joked, “I thought it was supposed to be called
MY LIES” :) There IS hope!

There were reports of Laura Ingraham books being hidden at Borders, according to her callers, but I easily found a copy of her POWER TO THE PEOPLE at the Burlington VT
store (moonbat country), though. Not hidden.

In fairness to B&N I received the following email this a.m.:

"The Obama Nation
by Jerome R Corsi

"Since you previously used your Membership to purchase a book by Jerome R Corsi, we wanted to let you know that the author's new book, The Obama Nation, is now available."

I guess money trumps politics.

Sh*t! Globama’s narcisisstic alternative to Charmin was displayed like the crown jewels at my local B&N. Don’t they no how many people they’re antagonizing?

I bought my copy of Obama Nation Saturday at Sam's Club. Top Shelf front row new releases. $15.48.

It's a quick read. Full of juicy tidbits from birth to present.

When Unfit For Command came out, I want to my local library to get a copy of it.

They did not have a single copy of it, so I checked their computer to see if another library in the county had one.

There were a total of 2 copies in the whole county, and they had put the book under fiction.

I blew a casket, and complained.

The head library told me that some people considered the book fiction.

That is when I shot back that the Library of Congress thought otherwise, and walked out the door.

I am not even going to try to get this book there.

I found the same practice of hiding the Obama Nation book here at my local Barnes and Noble...in the Boca Raton, Florida store. Had to ask a salesperson where the book was. Took us over 10 minutes and looking all over the store in 4 different sections where the book “should have been displayed.” The salesperson told me that this was common practice at most Barnes and Noble stores...hiding the book. Once we finally did find it, she grabbed the remaining 3 copies and put them on the table in front of the store where they belonged. Went there the next day and once again, they were gone. Back to the obscure section of the store where nobody would ever find it.
I've email Barnes and Noble and told them that I will never shop in their stores again...after 15 years as a dedicated customer.
