Welcome!

[Paul Atreides]

"The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President,"

Also known as "Lifestyles of the Witch and Shameless."

[Shaka]

How bout..the bitch is back: Alien re-dux?

[Mears]

Good one,P A !

[Howlin]

Republican and conservative activists are behind a vigorous campaign

Since when is promoting a book a "vigorous campaign?"

[Paul Atreides]

The Wart of the World

"Google blocked It!"

Can you be more specific??

How/What did Google block re: this book??

[Paul Atreides]

Let's see how many Deep Throat admirers trash this book.

[Howlin]

I bet they ignore it, period.

[Paul Atreides]

I don't know. I imagine we'll hear plenty about the "politics of personal destruction."

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I sell my soul by dropping names

[tenn2005]

The book sounds like a great read.

[nuconvert]

"The publisher, Sentinel, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA) that focuses on conservative views, has added to the atmosphere surrounding the publication."

I suppose publishers that focus on leftist/liberal views, never "add to the atmosphere surrounding (a) publication."

[Marine_Uncle]

Clearly a show of total left wing leanings and bias. Many years ago on a far planet........corporate identities often keep out of public politics to the extent they would not show their real colors. Apparently the owner of google.com is a far left liberal bastard at best that has used this country's capitalistic way of life to gain riches and a very permenant guarenteed market base, now as many others have demonstrated protect those that in their political philosphy appose the very eccense of a free enterprise system. Most of us cannot avoid the use of google.com for so many good reasons. The snakes have been around for many years folks.
Soros. Hey older ones, how about Arm and Hammer. The lists are long.

[SengirV]

They may block it, but they still sell well placed Amazon ads promoting it. I guess they hold their noses when they take that money.

[chuckles]

I "Googled" it and it went right to it. Amazon was at the top.

I don't know what Google blocked, but it should come as no surpise that they're not actively promoting conservative issues. This is from BuyBlue.org:
