Is Costco actually restocking Dinesh D'Souza's "America" or is is a lie?

I cannot independently confirm the accuracy of this story but it comes from a well trusted friend. It is my wish that repeating it may cause someone with the means to investigate further to research.

When an individual attempted to purchase Dinesh D'Souza's book "America" at a San Diego County Costco, the following scenario occurred. There were none on the shelf and she asked an employee if any were available. He pulled her aside and told her to please not reveal that he told her but that Costco was perpetuating a huge fraud on consumers.

He further explained that the book shipment and been rejected by the store and showed her the paperwork illustrating such. According to the employee, all workers were warned that even speaking to a customer about the book would cause them to be fired. In other words, Costco had no intention of restocking the books.

The employee added that when they did have them in stock, they flew off the shelves.

It seems almost unbelievable but then again............not really.

Maybe a Freeper has experienced something similar or knows how to verify this story. I'm guessing it would be all stores; not just one.

Checked last weeks shopping trip to Costco Moreno Valley, Calif., and no Dinesh D’Souza America was to be found, BUT contrary to the previous weeks shopping trip the Hillary tome was no longer present either. There had been a large quantity of those laying about that previous week.

Unfortunately we had just renewed our membership when the SHTF about the book, or we too would not have.

Will be going again tomorrow to pick up a new doggie bed for Walter P. (Pig Pen) the dawg. Will be checking again to see if “America” is on the book table.

Why would anyone in their Right mind (pun intended) shop at Costco? Don’t you understand that each purchase there is a de facto contribution to the DNC?

What I’m hearing makes me think this isn’t a widespread problem. But Costco still should be avoided, IMO. The politics are very clear.

I was at my local CostCo (Columbia Maryland) a couple of days ago and the books were not there. However, about a third of the hard back book section was taken up by Hillary’s low-selling book and CDs of the book.

?? I wonder what happened... they had orders tons of Hillary books didn't they?

Looks they had a whole pallet of them. Did they move them to Home Improvement section to sell as firewood?

In the movie “America”, Dinesh quietly and methodically surgically eviscerates and dissects Obama. There is no anger in his voice, just cool facts stated with video clips.

I can see why Obummer might be putting pressure on Costco and others to hide the book “America”. The book and movie are very effective!

I’d been looking for “America” for the previous two weeks at my local So Cal Costco. Hillary’s book and tapes where there basically undisturbed (i.e. not selling).

Finally found “America” there on my last visit and picked up a copy. The checkout guy initiated a conversation about it, so I don’t think there is a company wide ban in this regard.

“Hard Choices” is still there gathering dust.

While we’re on the subject of stores with questionable motives, I’ve been told that Home Depot should be called Homo Depot, because from the top down it’s loaded with numerous gender-confused types. Is there any credence to this?

Yes, the movie lays out the truth in calmly expressed facts. Notice that no one has stepped up to refute said facts. That says it all.

You can pretty much embrace a boycott of every retail chain in America on that basis.

Yep, I received a wiggle word e-mail from Costoc. Told them I would henceforth buy my products elsewhere.

You’re probably right about that.

You are some kind of badass there, fella. ;-)

Caveat Emptor: “He further explained that the book shipment and been rejected by the store and showed her the paperwork illustrating such. “

Why would an employee be walking around with these papers?

I don’t know. Perhaps it was not paper but instead electronic info he had. I wasn’t there. I made that clear in my post.

Just called Costco today and they told me they will not get the book in.

I went two times to “buy” the book and they told me that they had sold out. They said they had another order coming in......and when I called today to check if they finally got the book in—they told me they were OUT (again). They said they only had 8 come in, and that they had 1000s of requests for it.

Are they telling me the truth? Wouldn’t know. Maybe they never had any in....but I did see LOTS of stacked Hillary books which nobody was buying. Why would it be so “hard” to keep a book in stock?????
