Number 1 on Amazon AND Barnes & Noble within a DAY of being announced.

YOU have made the claim: "It shot to #1 on BOTH Amazon and B&N based on pre-orders, from regular folks."


Got a link to back up the "regular folks" allegation or should we just chalk it up to another hypocritical episode?

I gave yoy the name of the book club. If you are too lazy or timid to look it up yourself, here goes...

Conservative Book Club: Get 3 Conservative Books for $1.00 each!

Instant Savings
When you enroll in the Conservative Book Club today you will receive 3 books for just $3.00 plus $5.95 shipping and handling. This is our way of saying thank you for giving the Club a try. Then take up to 2 years to buy 4 books at regular low Club prices (20-50% below retail). Or you can buy 4 books for just $10.95 plus $6.95 shipping and handling, and buy three books at low Club prices over 2 years.

Conservative Titles
For more than 40 years, the Conservative Book Club has been run by conservatives for conservatives. Our hand-picked selection of HUNDREDS of guaranteed conservative books includes all the latest blockbusters from authors like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, David Limbaugh, and many more. And unlike other book clubs, the Conservative Book Club offers ONLY quality publishers' editions.

The Conservative "bulk book buying machine" pushes Sarah Paliin's book to the top, after only the second day that it is available.

The Immoral Minority: The Conservative "bulk book buying machine" pushes Sarah Paliin's book to the top, after only the second day that it is available.

I'm sure that I have provided this link and info more than enough times for you to not have missed it. Are you just busting chops?

Excuse me, but shouldn't the person making the allegation back it up? It certainly wasn't me who made the claim - just sicky's desperation to find the sow's ear. He needs to prove his assertion. Besides, it's kind of hard to prove a negative, but I see that as an attempt to spin the reality - #1 in 24 hours. As an industry expert said at the time - unheard of.

YOU made the claim "It shot to #1 on BOTH Amazon and B&N based on pre-orders, from regular folks." and have yet to back up your allegation.

YOU need to prove YOUR allegation.

Yeah, it did in fact shoot to number one. Call Amazon and B&N to prove your claim. Until then, we can all assume as we would with any other book.

This is really driving the Left into insanity mode.

There is even a leftist Palin hater coming out with a book to coincide with her release. Has there ever been a person savaged by the Left like Palin has?

Nice try at skirting the issue. YOU have alleged it shot to #1 based on orders from "regular folks", NOT large orders from conservative groups as others have claimed and YOU have disputed.

So, WHERE is the proof of your allegation? Or do you just expect that from others?

Just another hypocritical episode?

Heartburn!

Does it make a difference?

Number 1 - Amazon and B&N, within 24 hours, totally "unheard" of!

Love it.

Of course they have no evidence that large conservative groups have pushed it to numero uno - and who really cares, except the Left, as if that would diminish the "accomplishment".

The ratings will be huge.

Personally, I would have given the honor to someone other than an obamaphile.
See, I've recognized Palin long ago as a smart woman. The kind of smart that would put aside things such as 'honor' for personal goals. Why do you think she quit as governor & didn't bother to finish her full term? She's obviously smart enough to realize that by quitting she can be free to accept speaking engagements (read: $$$) and to promote her book (read: $$$).

You are extremely foolish to think that only Oprah will gain something from Palin's appearance on her show. You see Oprah as Obamaphile, but to Palin, Oprah is $$$. It's a win-win situation for Palin and Oprah. Oprah gets her ratings while Palin gets to promote her book on a syndicated TV show every writer would kill for.

Funny you should ask that. I thought the right's treatment to Obama is even worse. You can hardly go to a book store without seeing the many anti-Obama books being sold there. That's just the books, mind you!
