Freeps using Amazon reviews section to beat on Cindy
The reviews of Cindy's book are starting to show up on Amazon, the freeps are all over the place beating up on her. One guy actually posted: "If Jesus were here he'd slap you in the face". I wonder if he sees the irony in his statement. I haven't read the book yet but it's obvious that many of the "reviewers" haven't either.

1. what can't amazon have a troll detector
they should definitely filter out negative posts, it's one thing
to honestly pan a book, it's crass to use a public forum to make
personal attacks or threats.

4. I Agree with You
We should let them know that these people only intend on hurting the sales of the book.

14. It's like Gonzales defense of illegal redistricting in Texas
Well it's Congress' fault for confirming Ashcroft as Attorney General, that's a lame excuse, no one has a blank check to do what
they want.

So now they can attack Cindy personnaly under the guise of
book reviewers.

22. No we don't
Don't you see these smear tactics are the new McCarthyism, they use
these techniques to distill opposition and some of these individuals
are getting paid to harass anyone who is in the crosshairs. These
people don't care about Cindy or anyone else, they're probably just
doing it for a quick buck.

23. I Think You Misunderstood my Intent Behind My Statement
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 04:15 PM by stepnw1f
I expect actions (McCarthyistic in nature) from the RIGHT WING. It's in their nature....

I don't infer that we should accept such behavior either, I just expect it.

26. Okay, I understand what you are saying but we still have
to fight it. The vindictiveness grows with their sagging poll numbers.

29. Hang in there the tide is turning
I think the money is drying up so the haters will be left on the beach to rot in the sun like the spineless jellyfish they are.

2. I think anyone reading the reviews will figure it out.
They only make themselves look like narrow minded hateful people. Peace.

6. If Jesus were here, Mr. Freeper, he'd smite your ass just because
you sound like a complete waste of human life.

21. Jesus probably wouldn't, but His DAD has a history of violent behavior.
Just ask Sodom and Gomorrah.

7. I am at the Amazon site now. You can hit the "report" button at
the bottom of the most vitriolic reviews and ask to have them removed, which I am doing one by one. Some of these assholes are real animals. "Casey is rolling over in his grave?" How sick for a mom to read that.

16. I just did the same thing
What a shitty thing to say. I'm hitting the report button on that one for SURE. Actually, I already did. That's not a book review, that's a....well, a something awful.

8. It looks like the Puke attacks are just now being organized.
The book's rating is still at four stars. All that needs to be done is for more good reviews to be stacked on the top.

10. Its kind of hard to complain when we have threads calling for the same..
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 02:08 PM by tx_dem41
thing for Conservative books. You know..that whole hypocrisy thing.

There is a lot of childishness on the internet. Most of it you just have to ask..."Who cares?".

11. I love this one:
"Being a military person myself I sympathies with the loose of her son. But this book was very poorly written." George E. Peterson

It cannot be as badly written as the review.

12. That is Hugh!!1!
Series. But, as an aside, I agree with the poster upstream in this thread - hard to complain when we often ask for the same here in threads.

25. Typical dull-headed RW moron.
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 04:08 PM by Mr_Spock
Their inability to form coherent thoughts always amazes me.

Whatever, I'm gonna buy a copy simply because the righties don't like it.
