Pushed by an appearance on C-Span today by author Jack Cashill, an exposé on the mysterious death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown has shot up the best-sellers' charts.
"Ron Brown's Body: How One Man's Death Saved the Clinton Presidency and Hillary's Future" cracked the top 100 on Amazon today within hours of Cashill's appearance on television, and has since risen into the top 60s, and No. 7 on the non-fiction list. The book previously reached the No. 5 spot on BestBlackBooks.com's top 100, the definitive best-seller list for black-themed books.
Cashill says "credit goes to Book TV for airing a subject that has, so far at least, scared away the networks."
Cashill makes a powerful case that in the run-up to the 1996 election, the media reflexively overlooked the mysterious circumstances of Brown's death and TWA Flight 800's demise – the subject of his previous book, with James Sanders, "First Strike" – lest their investigations jeopardize Bill Clinton's re-election.
"My primary goal," says Cashill, "was to convince the most skeptical member of the C-Span audience that major events could take place without their knowledge. We'll see if I succeed."
You can count THIS Freeper who DOES believe that Clinton was involved.
Surely Clinton came clean about all this in his million selling memoirs.../sarcasm/puke/barf/$#@&*!
Yeah, I saw that Book TV show this morning. It was pretty good.
Really? I don't seem to remember any freepers who feel that way. Maybe the brim of my tin-foil hat is blocking my view.
I'm not going to start naming names, but there were a few as recently as last weekend who could not believe that Clinton would allow an expensive plane to crash and then go through a cover-up, etc.
Ron Brown's death was a HUGE issue on BET just before Monicagate. Somehow black television dropped it to rally to Clinton's defence, however, I think they might have another go at it/
I didn't see that. Maybe they were DUmmies.
Oh well there will always be few. He seems to be influenced by his friends. I'm with you, clinton did it. LOL
I wuuldn't put it past Clinton, the list of suspected Arkancide victims is quite long. But one think I've never understood, what exactly was the threat to the Clinton presidency from Ron Brown?
I remember that Brown was under some type of investigation, what did he know that could have hurt the Klintoons?
