The real question is.......just who is buying Moore's books? I suspect they are purchased in bulk and are lying in some warehouse, never to be read.

George Soros (plus a number of other "patrons") is pouring a small part of his not inconsiderable wealth into propping up the numbers on the sales of certain books that appear on the "New York Times Bestsellers Lists". Oddly enough, all of them have a common theme, written by activists who have a brief for blaming America first. Perhaps a sale of 40-50,000 a week for a couple weeks is enough to get on "best-seller" status, and from that point, the buyers who base their book purchases on these lists, manage to keep up the momentum for a while.
