1. "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans"
More proof that Republican zombieism is spread by brain-eating.

3. The thing is, though... with her remarks plus that book title...

... the thing is going to be a massive flop.

The public is very keyed-in right now on what a toxic slime she is, and they sure as hell know that Republican = Criminally Stupid.

So that garbage she's spewing just won't fly.

Deep-pocket repukes will have to make more bulk purchases than ever before, to prop this waste of paper up in the rankings.

4. Hate to disappoint but
all of Coulter's books would have and should have been flops except for one thing. Her allies on the right bought up massive quantities of her books from the publisher to guarantee her a spot on the NY Times best seller list.

In turn, as a "best seller", she gets time on the talk show circuit to spread their peculiar form of hate.

The Mellon Scaifes on the right will come through for her again. She will continue to spew her hate and the base of the religious right will be emboldened in their hate!

12. Yep, and it will be a best seller too.
She says the things a great number of RWers believe and they'll pay to hear her say it.

21. Don't book charts have a notation to indicate bulk sales?
I thought that one sales chart indicated when numbers were influenced by bulk vs. individual sales.

Not that most people would be tuned in enough to notice a little footnote but I was curious.

23. I'm not well enough
versed in the workings of those "best seller" lists to answer your question but I believe your correct. I do not think, however, that the leader in the field, the NY Times, makes that distinction on it's list.

I also agree that it would make little to no difference in the opinions of "most people" since "most people" get their information in 30 second sound bites on network or cable news and rarely bother to look further.

6. No, no, no - Ann Coulter's book will be a best-seller - guaranteed!
Because the RWers will make sure to buy bulk quantities of her book to ensure this.

They've done it before and they'll do it again. It's all about perception. If people see her book on the NY Times bestseller list they'll believe that most people must think like her or sympathize with her. It won't matter that thousands of cases of her books will be moldering in various warehouses scattered around the country, never to see the light of day. By purchasing all of those books they steer public perception; it's not about people actually reading them.

Think PR.

5. And I suppose that she is the brainy one. She sure knows how to use it. Schoolyard taunts.

9. Pretty tame title...
We've been Traitors, and Slanderers, and Godless. And of course, the accusations of being murderers and terrorist supporters thrown in.

Now, we're just dumb? She must be running out of material. It's hard to keep repackaging the same old tired bullshit to make it look like a "new" book, I guess.

15. Stupid, Godless, Treasonous Liars, eh?
She's running out of adjectives. At this rate, her next book is going to be titled "Unwashed."

I'm sure she'd like to do one about how sexually immoral liberals are, but sex talk makes right-wingers feel all oogy.

22. Why do they call these things "BOOKS?" I've seen thicker menus at Chilis.
They should be called "pamphlets."
