Just bought "The Case Against Barack Obama" at the local Barnes and Noble, through no help from somebody who had turned the display copies backwards so the title could not be seen - not finding the book I wanted on the political book display, I saw a book turned backwards and magically, there it was!
Hard to outsmart a Freeper. I did comment to a clerk (sure, he coulda been the one that did it but I would suspect a customer) that, "Someone had taken the liberty of turning these books backwards, but I fixed it." He apologized and said thanks.
I think this is the one. I didn’t realize it was the Stern video.

It’s being forwarded as a sound file all over the internet....it was originally “Sal” from the Howard Stern program doing Q & A’s in Harlem.
I found it at keepingthehome.com but I don’t know if it is still up on her blog. I’ll pop over and see.
I think that is the same one. Its still up at keepingthehome.com toward the bottom of the page but it will soon dissappear off the page as new blogs are posted.
Show of hands - how many of you ever turned over a lefty book in a store? I have many times.
I don't just turn some of the “liberal” books backwards, I try and bury them under other books, preferably with good, solid conservative and true books.
It's a guerrilla cultural war out there and we must fight back.
I have totally restacked the shelves, placing conservative book out in front and placing liberal crap in the back.
lol
Yup, I’ve heard about that on both sides: Hillary books, Coulter books. That may be why their political display is about 6 feet away from the info desk LOL. I could not see much room for retaliation.
Don't know if its true or not but this was one of the comments on the YouTube page below the video.
I go one step furthur. I bury them in the back of the display. Just turning them over is too easy to fix.
i agree.
This works really well at COSTCO. I don’t even try to be furtive about it. It’s more fun that way.
Ha! Which Costco? We may be working the same store. Mine is the downtown Seattle store.
South Everett, usually.
I flip over the anti-Bush/anti-McCain/pro-flaming-lib books at the Issaquah store every time I visit it. Tons of fun.
