RIP Barbara. How I wish we could hear your voice again.

How I wish we could hear your voice again.

And see your beautiful smile!

Clinton's pardon of terrorists and Olson's tragic death make this book particularly relevant.

The least we can do in her memory is to promote her book on call-in shows, write reviews, give is as a gift, word of mouth, etc.

[Squire]

RIP, Barbara. You were an American patriot.

Just got the book.

[Jen]

Just got my copy in the mail a few days ago.

Went to the bookstore to buy a copy yesterday, and they were sold out.

The Federalist Society Remembers Barbara Olson
December 27, 1955 - September 11, 2001
The Federalist Society mourns the loss of our friend Barbara Olson -- a true American patriot, defender of liberty, and a heroine in life and in death. May we all remember her strength as we face the future. The Federalist Society has established a fund for an annual lecture as a tribute to Barbara. For more information, click HERE.

I've just finished reading "The Final Days" and it is a wonderful summary of all the clinton abuse and corruption.

Barbara did a super job and her readers that aren't in the know will have their eyes opened to just how devious and corrupt the clintons and their minions are.

On the last Sunday of her life, Barbara Olson was a guest on Washington Journal, a C-SPAN morning call-in program that is frequently civil. This time, it was not. The topic was the Thomas hearings, on their tenth anniversary, and the calls that came in were electric with fury, as if no time at all had passed. Names, charges, and threats were flung around wildly. At one point, Bill Press, Olson's co-panelist, became rattled, pleading for tolerance, saying that people could argue as friends. But the hate kept on coming. Close to the end, one woman called Olson "evil" and said she was "too filled with hate" to live long...

C-Span's Washington Journal has become nothing but a platform for looney liberal seminar callers.
Too bad...C-Span is now on the loooong list of channels I no longer watch.
I have Barbara's book on order (it was sold out at my local book store!).
God bless BKO.

I haven't watched it in the longest time. It once was a morning ritual for me. I guess I haven't been missing anything.

[seamus]

Dittoes for me, too. I stopped watching during the endless recounts of the 2000 election. All the "I'm a Republican but I think Bush should step down" BS was more than I could take.

I bought a $6000.00 sattelite dish nearly 20 years ago, so I could
watch C-SPAN, well the free movie chanels were a freebie,
because everything was broadcast in the clear.

Never turn it on anymore, not since they added the 3 line
nonsence. I wrote Lamb and told him I wouldn't watch until,
they removed the censorship. I really shook him up with that
one. he didn't stop, but I did. [:<)

I just want to clue you guys in about something. The bookstores are NOT sold out of Barbara's book. They are not ordering it. Anything that is against the clintons will never be out in front. It will be hidden is some obscure place or they will claim to be out of it. Barnes & Noble is especially known for this. Go back in two weeks and they will still tell you they are sold out. DON'T BELIEVE IT.

The degeneration of C-SPAN is yet another residual of Clintonista ... from about 1994 on the Grifters had packed its board & staff with their goons and it lost all the truth telling verve of its early days. The worst was the closure of the 'open-mike call-in' format and its replacement with the 3-party (liberal, conservative, independent) QUOTA SYSTEM.

When he has a moment, GW should start cleasing it to its old shine ... or better yet assign the on-going task to some sensible staffer. It is really sad what Clintonista did with and to C-SPAN.

[MamaLucci]

Wait4Truth, I live in a small town where the bookstore isn't a big chain.
They had a copy of "Hell To Pay" out front, but were sold out of the new one.
I imagine they only keep a few copies of most books in stock.
The saleslady added my name to a list she already had of people wanting this book.

One TV commentator observed: "Not since the opening of the gates of the Bastille have so many criminals been liberated on a single day."

The storming of the Bastille "liberated" four prisoners, one of them being the Marquis de Sade.

That Bastille day is the French equivalent of July 4 is one of my favorite reflections on days when some Frenchman or the other is being especially annoying.

I wondered about that, as I went to Borders when the book first was released. They told me at first they didn't have it. I said I had been told it was out and they did have it. The employee then told me "well, we do have them, but they are in the back in the boxes, we haven't got around to putting them out."

After telling me they would be out in a couple of days, I returned, only to be told they were "sold out." I called Barnes and Nobles, they were sold out, B Dalton, same story.

I finally ordered it from Amazon and haven't received it yet. I wondered if this was by design, or if they are so popular they are indeed sold out that quickly. I hope the latter is true.
Barbara's voice is not silenced, it still speaks from the pages of her books. I do wonder if the hateful person who told her she shouldn't live long on CSPAN felt any remorse for that statement, or if she cheered along with the terrorists.

The C-SPAN show on that Sunday was the only time I had seen her on TV (that I know of). She was so nice to the ______'s that called in the show. My wife bought her book for my B-Day. I love it!!! I still read it. I will buy her book soon.

My husband and got Barbara's book a couple days ago as an anniversary gift to each other. I'm halfway through it.<p.I can hardly put it down. It is riveting. This book proves once again how power hungry and self-serving the clintons are.
