Hillary bedeviled by protesters

Protesters have become a regular feature at book signings by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), but so far, according to Clinton's publisher, Simon & Schuster, they haven't hurt sales.

Now Clinton may have another problem that could: conservative blonde nemesis Ann Coulter and her new bestseller, Treason.

Living History, Clinton's book, continues to do a brisk business, yet by the beginning of the week Coulter's anti-liberal tome had buried it on Amazon's nonfiction bestseller list. Treason started the week in the No. 1 spot, while Living History had fallen out of the top 10.

Unfazed, Clinton has kept a heavy schedule of appearances. By her estimate, she's signed 10,000 copies of her memoirs.

"I try to look at people," she told Newsday. "I give [them] five or six or seven seconds to say something. Some are tongue-tied, some have a whole speech prepared, some give me letters."

Considering the number of protesters she attracts, Clinton said, she's surprised she hasn't received more negative comments at book signings. For security reasons Simon & Schuster has never posted her appearances on its website.

"One man in a devil's costume . . .has been following me for three years," Clinton said.

The devil didn‚t show a week ago when she signed books at a store in Huntington, N.Y., but there was a guy dressed in desert fatigues and a Hillary mask calling himself "Rodham Hussein."

My copy of Treason is here with Ann's Slander and High Crimes.

The only books on Hitlery worth buying are Barbara Olson's Hell to Pay and The Final Days.

As to how the NYT makes its "best seller list", the same way Jason Blair makes up his crap.

Ann Coulter rules; Hitlery never shall again.

Robert Treuhaft made her his intern in 1972--wasn't any Lewinsky business--he's a Communist.

Hitlery: Never Again.

That is a huge problem. McCarthy and Nixon both faced it.They lost.In his secret tapes, Nixon expresses regret about how much it must hurt Kissinger and Saffire to learn Daniel Ellsberg was a rat--Nixon wanted the rat to be anyone but Ellsberg, Halperin or Gelb. Perhaps times are changing and that defense will not be used. Ann Coulter hasn't been attacked from that angle.

For many people who have abandoned the faiths of their ancestors, Protestant, Catholic and Jew , socialism has become a religion, with Communism being the most radical form.
With communism discredited, the still have the "softer" form to fall back on. And they will never, never admit how horrible
Communism was, because they have the same attitudes toward
traditional western civilization. That is why the socialists in Europe are trying to expunge all reference to the role of Christianity in the shaping of European civilization. It is not because it offends the Muslims; it is because they hate Christianity.

Thanks.

I agree. Marxism is the anti-Christianity. The ACLU today is nothing more than a refined version of Yaroslavskii's Militant League of Atheists.

HILLARY Pasadena Booksigning F/R Sign...

You describe exactly what I encountered in Cary, NC (in the heart of the Research Triangle, a liberal bastion nowadays). Hillary's book was prominent at the store front where the best sellers were supposed to be. Her books were in two of the slots available. Potter was first and there was an empty spot in second, which could have been Coulter's book. However, when asking about Treason, I was told to look in the political science area. That area had a span of shelves, roughly 8-10 feet wide. The center set of shelves had books facing outward, so the covers could be seen. Hill's book was there, also. Coulter's was down in the very left, bottom shelf.It was not a featured book. I found myself shaking my head, knowing I had read similar accounts here. You would think Borders would want to sell a best seller, wouldn't you?

There was a third display of Hillary on another table mid-store, with other fare, such as Caroline Kennedy's book about being an American.

Happy Fourth everybody.
