Report: Costco Is Removing Conservative Author

Wow. No doubt this is politically motivated but it's still a bit shocking that they would actually pull a stunt like this. No matter what political stance you have, for a retailer that is usually unpartisan in what it sells, its shameful to have done what they did.

Such acts usually increase sales elsewhere.

HUGE backlash. HUGE. So they're putting the book back on their stores' shelves.

No doubt? Really? Where's your data to support that? How volumes are sold for the usual book at costco in a week. How many was this selling? Do they usually keep political books there?

If you're a grown up and you're going to say that there's no doubt in something then how about proving that there's, you know, no doubt.

It's selling extremely well. It's currently at the top of Amazon's Best Sellers list:

Fox News did a story. Only in your mind is that a HUGE backlash.

That's nice. Amazon's online store isn't Costco. Again, where's your data to support that? How volumes are sold for the usual book at costco in a week. How many was this selling? Do they usually keep political books there?

The OP's post would get an F in grade school. Go find some data, do some thinking for yourself and leave the pre-conceived conclusions for children.

Shock - it doesn't sell wale and they don't order more


OMG!

if Costco buys because of political leanings, why would they EVER stock. sometimes you conspiracy people are thick as a brick and about as critical.

Capitalism in action -- which is apparently fine by conservatives until it works against their interests. Then it's a conspiracy.
