Following Gold Star father Khizr Khan’s powerful speech at the Democratic convention last week, sales of pocket Constitutions have skyrocketed. But the edition topping Amazon’s charts – right up there with the new Harry Potter book — comes with annotations and right-wing commentary from Glenn Beck’s favorite conspiracy theorist ....
blah, blah, blah

At least people are reading the damn Constitution. That is an overall win.
Yes, they’ll see what a criminal Obarky is now.
The Constitution is “Ultra-Right”?
What the hell kind of a world has this become?
And I bet any libs reading it are thinking, “Wow, when did this get passed into law?”
Ultra right...
Zombies are out in force this week.
What good does buying the book do the lefties - it hasn’t got any pictures! ;’}
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN SHOULD HAND THESE OUT FOR FREE
Hope they read far enough to get to the second amendment
I don’t know this Skousen or what he thinks but if they fear
ultra-right wait ‘til they discover the Federalist Papers.
A bump for a great idea. I bought a box of the Cato Institute pocket Constitutions one time and they went like hotcakes.
You sure it;s not the quaran?
I am certain that a lot of liberals will use it as a prop not read it.
I find this EXTREMELY funny.
I think they were referring to the annotations, not the actual Constitution ... but one cannot be too sure.
Me too, that’s why I posted it!
Hilarious.
Im right wing and rarely read the C. I know what’s in it.
If real Americans read their Constitution as religiously as real Christians read their Bible, this nation wouldn’t be in the deep $hit it’s in.
" The book’s notes and annotations are by W. Cleon Skousen, a rabidly anti-Communist ideologue who took to rewriting history to support his ultra-right, Bible-based theories."
"Skousen’s edition interprets the Constitution as evidence that the United States is subject to a Christian God’s ruling.
It emphasizes that the federal government should not interfere in people’s lives."
" Skousen was a former FBI agent and briefly the police chief of Salt Lake City — until the mayor fired him,
saying he was “a master of half truths” and ran the police department “like a gestapo.”"
Following his death in 2006, he became a darling of the Tea Party."
Soon to be used as coasters at liberal cocktail parties
