Probably because they got spammed by the DU crowd.

Yeah, I think the libs and Dems flooded their site with inaccurate reviews.

Now, when was the last time we did something like that without reading the book first? Or at least watching the movie...

I didn't see it for myself, but I heard there were negative reviews posted before the book was even released. Of course, in all fairness, some of our folks probably got to it as well...

:-)

Yeah, I jumped over there real quick and saw that.

We went hunting for the book at Barnes & Noble yesterday; they only had one copy and it was a special order. They have more coming. To quote the counter gal: "Funny, we just had someone else asking about that book..." hahaha!

The low life lefties have trench mouths.
They have no class what so ever.

That is the right choice. They should only allow reviews by people who have actually read the book and will comment on it substantively. Of course, they can't guarantee that for all of their books, because there is a ridiculously large number of them, but they can watch their #1 seller.

Your link won't help much - it lacked the leading amazon.com part. Try this: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.

Not that I should be wasting good pixels on Al Franken.

I plan on hitting my local BN, which I almost NEVER do becuase of their history of Dem support, but it makes me smile to go in and ask for it.

If there's no protests or orgies scheduled for the evening, stuff like this keeps the left wing bottom feeders busy. What else would they do? I suppose they could sacrifice stray dogs or something.

If lefties wrote bs reviews why not just delete those?

Why delete ALL reviews?

Just picked up my copy, one of 15 that were on order. Only 3 left for shelf, more on the way. Cashier was frustrated because so many asking for it, not enough to go around. She said she ordered one for her dad, and when I asked if he was a Vet, she said no, he's just really into the truth.

Probably because they couldn't separate the honest reviews from the nonsense. Better to dump it all and start over then try to figure out who's legit.

Maybe that; in a loud voice is better than dealing with amazon which stifels reviews.

I went into B&N today to pick up a book I ordered. They have a big table full of anti-Bush books, but Unfit for Command was nowhere to be seen. I raised heck about it and they said that there was a "mix up" at the distribution center. I told them if they were going to making a political statement, I'd find another place to buy my books.

People vote on the usefulness of reviews. Also, they should just look at a reviewer's past reviews and the ratings of those reviews.
