You guys don't actually HAVE to sell the thing!
Just "carelessly" hide the boxes, "accidentally" drop them off pallets, "forget" to stock the ones you have, and then suggest a nice Al Franken or Micheal Moore book as a substitute. Borders wants those recommends, remember?
I don't care if these Neandertals in fancy suits get mad at me, they aren't regular customers anyway. Other than "Left Behind" books, they don't read. Anything you can do to make them feel unwelcome is only fair. They are the people pushing retailers to cut costs, don't forget. And they would censor your speech, your books, your music in a heartbeat, so give them a taste of it!
Don't get mad, get even!

For anyone wondering, according to those nutters over at Free Republic, we commie fag booksellers are indeed sitting on the titles in the sort rooms. Not just Borders mind you, but ANY store ANYWHERE that sells books. (As we all know, Wal-Mart is well stocked with communists.)
With that thought in mind, many of them are calling the books stores and tormenting people until they sell the mighty stocks that we are withholding from them. Not only that, but these useful idiots are being told by at least one talk radio show host that book stores have the book, and are simply sitting on it.
Frankly, many of my coworkers and I are growing very tired of taking abuse day after day about this stinking book. One of my coworkers (and while I agree with the sentiment, they shouldn't have said it) who was taking crap from a wingnut on the phone finally lost it and said something to the effect of, "You know, I don't know why you'd want to read it anyway. its all made up!" and hung up the phone. Everyday, we keep getting crap from them, and what the hell do we get in return? A note from Vin saying that no political coversation is allowed with anyone at anytime. (In case you were wondering, the store is not a very conservative one, but since its in the bible belt, they keep crawling out of the woodwork.)
That said, one of my managers told me the other day that Regnery is indeed sitting on it in order to boost demand. Any truth to that?
