Help Me Fight The "Slandering" of Ann Coulter's New Book, "Treason" on Amazon

Today | Paul Klenk

[paulklenk]

As many of you know, Ann Coulter's new book "Treason" has jumped to number 2 on Amazon's Best Seller list.

However, those who hate Coulter and what she stands for are attacking her book, by using the "recommendations" feature at Amazon. "Mein Kampf" and "Big Lies: Right Wing Propaganda" are the only two choices being offered as recommendations. Of course, this is a nasty bit of slander against Ann.

Here is a link to Treason's page at Amazon.

There are two things you can do to help quash this effort:

1. Recommend another book. If we all start off by recommending the same book, it has a good chance of showing up. Feel free to recommend your own, too, but don't fail to recommend OUR choice: USE THE FOLLOWING ISBN NUMBER to make sure we are recommending the same item: 1400046610, which is Ann's book Slander. If you can come up with a better title, post the title and the ISBN number here so the rest of us can follow suit.

2. Let Amazon know that the other recommedations are inappropriate. Under the book recommendations, there is a link which says "Let us know if any of these recommendations are inappropriate." Follow that link and click "no" next the appropriate title, starting with "Mein Kampf."

Freep away in mass quantities, folks, and make me proud. You may run into some technical difficulties along the way. If you do, report back here and let's see if we can't share the solutions as well.

More qualified? What, you can't read?

Actually, I'm doing this more out of a sense of fun, rather than indignation. You're probably taking it more seriously than I.

I prefer to read a book before I decide on whether it's good or bad.

I'm not asking anyone to review a book he hasn't read. I'm asking you to recommend other books in addition to the book, and the complain about "Mein Kampf" being used as a comparison to "Treason." I don't think one would need to read either of these books to know it is an inappropriate recommendation.

[paulklenk]

the complain = to complain

Knock yer socks off. I suggest this thread be moved to general interest then? I'm sure you agree. *S*

[paulklenk]

Disagree. My socks, by the way, are already off...

[Happygal]

How do *I* know that Ann Coulter hasn't set herself up as a White Extremist leader in her book, and think 'Mein Kampf' might not be a good comparison...if I hadn't read the book.


I find knowing the material, helps.

[paulklenk]

Okay...

[freedumb2003]

Thanks.

I FReeped this. Lets regroup on Sunday and make sure we keep this above-board.

[Happygal]

Have I brow beaten you sufficiently? ;-) Geeeeezuuuuuuzzzz!! Men are so easily argued into submission these days!!!

[Rennes Templar]

Good post, I sent them a message. I dont know what HG's problem is.

[paulklenk]

Ah, a quality that so many men find attractive in women...

Unfortunately, I have not yet had the privilege of reading "Treason." It sounds like "The Sword and the Shield" (the Vasily Mitrokhin archive) would be an appropriate companion volume, since it reveals much about the Soviet penetration of Western governments.

>>the complain = to complain<<

Clearly a hugh and series error. Don't loose the intent behind this thread.

[Happygal]

If you want to know what my problem is, I suggest you either address me directly, or learn to use the 'private message' button

Just a notice for others: I was able to sign in but unable to recommend a book - since "no book has been purchased on this account."

However I was able to click "no" on the other recommendations (Mein Kampf..), and click agains "unhelpful" reviews.

>>How do *I* know that Ann Coulter hasn't set herself up as a White Extremist leader in her book, and think 'Mein Kampf' might not be a good comparison...if I hadn't read the book. <<

Good point. BTW, how do *I* know that Hillary hasn't set herself up as a White Extremist in her book, and think "Mein Kampf" might not be a good comparison if I haven't read the book. Heck, Harry Potter might be goose-stepping his way to the Fatherland in HIS latest book.

Who knows?

There's a limit to the amount of feedback allowed (then you have to hit refresh). <8}

[Happygal]

Well, I might get a rational thinking on the whole Harry Potter thing, if I bothered to actually READ one of the books! *L*

[SoDak]

You're wrong. Not sure why you are wrong, just didn't want to give in.
