is Overstock.com a right-wing operation?
Check out this page:

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=4730&PAGE=STATICPAGE&PAGE_ID=2197

While they do offer F911 and the Franken book, there seems to be a slant towards pushing this FahrenHYPE movie ("exclusive offering", bulk purchase, downloadable trailer, ads on other pages, etc.) and the Swift Boat BS book as well.

The woman in their commercials is sexy as hell, but their website has always been a nightmare as far as actually finding anything. Add this to the mix, and I'm going to forget about sending them any of my money again.

1. They're overstocked in these items for some reason
Yeah, I'd like to see the woman in the commercial do a Viagra commercial.

4. I'm Not Surprised There's an Overstock of 'Fahrenhype' Movies
Nobody wants to buy that crap, hence it ends up at Overstock.com. Also not surprised they're pushing it...they want to clear it from their inventory.

5. You have to remember what this company really is!
The things they sell are OVRSTOCKS. Actually seeing a lot of RW stuff is a good thing! It means printers, or mfg's made more than the market needed.
