Question: Is this a logical, legal and FUN way to FREEP Hitlery's book??
FREEPers Everywhere ^

I see Drudge is headlining that Hitlery's lies in a hardcover "scanned" 438,000 copies last week. And it got me to thinkin'......what would be a fun, legal way of FREEPing the wife of Mr. SinkStainer. Especially for us FREEPers who aren't in the BELTWAY or in Old Crusty's dominion, where she signs her crappy book for the sycophants.
Anyway, here's the idea:
A couple of FREEPers go to the local B&N, or whatever, and literally PURCHASE EVERY COPY YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON. Clear the shelves if you can. Make it unavailable. Go back and make multiple trips if need be. Carefully hold these pieces of garbage for a day or two.
Take the books back, since you won't be unload them to your circle of reading friends. What's sweet is, the Hitlery fans won't be able to get the book, AND it'll make those clowns at Simon and Shyster think they're making sales...only to see a buttload of returns!!
What do you think? Will it work, or is it just a massive waste of freaking time?????????? I can see it going either way.

I would not want the karma from the immoral act of owning the book for twenty-four hours.

I wouldn't fight fire with their weapon of choice. I'm sure we have something much more powerful. Compared to their fire, our weapon is a nuclear bomb. What we have is fundamental truth and proven ideas. They have to use their sleazy tactics b/c their ideas are based on lies or are fundamentally flawed.
The problem for us is not just playing nice. Too often, it is a refusal to get in the game.
Those who speak plain truth and don't apologize for it are rewarded at the polls and win the hearts of everyday Americans again and again. Too few on our side of the aisle have the guts to do it though and simply cower like weasles every time a scummy Dem liar spews trash.

Sounds like Hitlery and her crew thought of most of the angles. It also sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Come on lawyers, where are you?
To: bluefish
I agree, sounds like something that the so called "Democratic Underground" would do. Apparently,they have the spare time for such things.
My own form of protest at book stores is to turn Hillary's, Michael Fat Pig Moore's and Dr. Phil's books back cover out to the front or put other more worthy books in front of them.
Childish, yes I know, but it amuses me sometimes.

You want my legal opinion?
Best not rely on the internet for a legal opinion.

Bad idea. So is the one about turning books over, hiding them from view, or placing them in "fiction" section.
Better to stand outside a store where Hillary! is signing books, holding signs and addressing the folks in line regarding the crimes, lies and amorality of the Clinton clan. Most of the folks in the lines that I've FReeped are more starstruck than they are diehard Hillary! supporters. Very little vocal objection from them to our commentary.
But that's just my opinion.

A better way would be to simply purchase Ann Coulter's Treason. Conservative books will rise and Hitlery's will fall off the charts.

I would get back to work, if those damn Republicans would just give me a JOB!!! <\sarcasm>

What if you just went through the store and picked up copies of good books and placed one in front of each of Hillary's books on the shelf? No money involved and if you have that much time on your hands to do it, no one would notice her book to buy it. Not sure about the legality of that though.
