My blood boiled when I heard this. Folks, these are terrifying times.

they’ll probably pull it. And it was #2 in its genre on NYT Bestsellers list two days ago.

No matter.

I, my friends, every one I’ve spoken with re this fiasco, has told Costco they’re not renewing and why.

They’re out.

I was in Costco in Delaware at 5 tonight and "America" is not only in stock but actually in one of the most prominent parts of the table.

Now that Costco only has one table of books but America was on the left end.

Hilary's book was not in evidence.

Stopped by the local Costco in Parker, CO, last night, and America was prominently displayed.

I find this hard to believe. Costco has stocked Glenn Beck books, Sarah Palin’s books, and other conservative books.

Not sure if Walmart is carrying this book, but I am not seeing it at the Walmart closest to me. I would think that this book would be a good fit to sell at a WM since a majority of people that shop there aren't America-hating lefties.

I was in Costco in Carson City, NV two weeks ago and heard an uproar in the book section as a group of about six or seven men and women complained to the man stocking books. They asked why there were no copies of “America” but dozens of Hillery’s books on display. He told them that he didn’t work for Costco, but was just an independent book stocker and told them that the book might be in soon.

Doesn’t really matter to me, i also have a BJ’s wholesale Club card.
I am all done with Costco.
I read that the big 0 is heading to a former Costco CEO’s house for yet another fundraiser.
Never again.....

I believe this, though I have no further details about this particular incident.

They did the same thing to Rush and to Savage (though I don’t listen to the latter).

For libs, this type of chicanery substitutes for activism. Or they think it IS activism.

It can happen SO low on the totem pole as to be legally unactionable.

For this reason whenever I’m at a news-stand I do borrow a page from the Lefties, and I leave NR or American Spectator sitting on the face of The Nation, or Ms., or Rolling Stone, or whatever.

Do follow my lead.

My Costco membership expires at the end of this month and I will not be renewing it. I already purchased my Sam’s Club membership through Groupon

A guy called the Howie Carr show (MA) today and he works at a Costco. He said that D’Souza’s book is selling well and they’re pulling Hillary’s book off the shelves because it not on the book lists anymore (and it wasn’t selling). Haha

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?????

It was in the store in Van Nuys 5 days ago. There were fewer copies than HRC’s Hard Choices (3 -4 Times as many). Of course the size of the pile of her book hasn’t changed in weeks.
