Amazing, ain't it? How the heck did they get "suspended" so quickly?
They only buy so much server usage (transfer rate). Normally what they buy is enough. But with all the traffic they got from this publicity, they exceeded their transfer limits.
I don't buy this for a minute. Regnery is in this to make a buck. This book is going to be on the dollar shelf in another few weeks.
The small walden books store I go to never has any problem getting me the conservative books I want. Those ladies are always glad to see me and my wallet.
Thanks - hey, I just stopped by YOUR thread and bumped it!
"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!"
They don't even make sense--Republicans have been Presidents, and in control of the House and Senate, off and on since the 80's--I'm thinking of the Reagan Ear onward.
When have they done all this censoring in the span of all those numerous heartbeats? (The Dem-beloved McCain-Feingold aside)
Ain't it grand?
Liberal-dominated big publishing and big bookselling can no longer stop publishing and sales of these books -- thanks to publishers like Regnery, Encounter, Intervarsity, etc. and thanks to online sources like amazon, half.com, bookfinder. Oh, sure, the big distributors like Ingram and NBN can and sometimes do drag their heels, but that can't stop these books either, and they know that if they simply refused to distribute them, a huge chunk of their business would move to alternate distribution online.
this was 2 years ago. i left the slip of paper in it, but i loaned the book out.
Never again will they have my business.

It was a very pleasent afternoon.
Thanks, Dan. I had bookmarked it but it wasn't accessible when I went back. Way to go!
I just copied and sent to Border's with this in the message line: A Chill Wind Blowing At Border's?
I sent the following this afternoon (and yes, I'm new, at least to posting, though I've been reading the forum for a while). Sent it to Borders and Regnery... I won't hold my breath for a reply.

Borders Customer Care:
Please see the attached, and tell me that this kind of attitude is not considered acceptable behavior among your employees! This kind of claptrap is particularly offensive to this "pinko-commie-fag" “grumpy old” “conspiracy theorist” “Bushie”. The net result is that if I ever decide to “crawl out of the woodwork” and become one of the “Neandertals [sic] in fancy suits” (my wife and I usually wear sandals and shorts when we go to the bookstore), I’ll make sure it is not to Borders. The fact that your union is so far out of control and populated with the kinds of people who would write the notes below is absolutely appalling. At least I’m thankful that I was able to see it with my own eyes. When the website comes back up, a moderator might be in order. Just my opinion… Does that make me a “right-wing a-hole”?
Respectfully,

No, this was originally posted here. It was sent to Lucianne from the orginal thread here:

They forget, that with the internet we can order books online! HAH!
Looking for Borders email to fill up fast today, also, Foxnews.com!
demnomo sent it from previous thread:
To: no dems
I just emailed Drudge and Lucianne.com. Can you do some more?
I gotta go and get out of my jammies ;) and run some errands.
I'll check this thread later. I intend to take a copy of the Union Forum thread to my local Borders whose manager assured me there were "innocent" reasons why the bookstore didn't have a copy of "Unfit for Command" available.
(I just ordered a copy from Amazon!)

Two points:
1. I guess liberals feel the need to make stuff up because they can't handle the truth and
2. CBS is sure having some fun now, eh?
You can no longer get it from the Google link. What's going on. I printed it out though and need to go checlk my bookmarks.
