Regarding the scumbag and his hideous Hillary book
Since it's for sale on Amazon (according to Drudge),

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1595230068/qid=1118624931/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/103-8903078-5711820?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Wouldn't it be fun to let Amazon how much we appreciate them selling a pack of lies on their web site? (There's a comment section at the bottom of the page). And how we'll be sure go to the book store next time? Anything to make Matt the Hat look bad, you know. Just an idea.

2. Don't do that
It's an ugly, dishonest tactic, not worthy of decent people.

4. Dang it, I knew someone would say that . . .
and I know you're right, but sometimes you just want to go up to one of these idiots and punch them in the snoot, metaphorically speaking, of course.

9. Oh, I know, I know
The guy's filth. He writes filth, he IS filth.

But, as a writer who's been trailed by loonies who trashed my books' sites on amazon and others, and who had to spend a lot of time having them taken down, I just had to speak up.

There are other ways:

Go to bookstores, and when you find the display of that piece of trash, pick up a copy and hide it in the political science shelves. Behind the real books.

Do this repeatedly.

You will feel better, and you will have done a good thing.

7. There is nothing wrong...
with posting one's displeasure with a company selling a questionable product. I mean, they did provide a comment field for a reason. So long as you are honest about not reading the book, if you comment, you are fine. That being said, your activity there may only serve to promote the very garbage you seek to denounce.

10. Bookstores sell books,
and I know you agree with me that they should sell all kinds of books.

Hateful speech is the speech that needs the most protection. Objecting to a bookseller selling books is kind of counterproductive, when there are more constructive ways of denouncing what the book's about.

Besides, if you're objecting to them selling something you've not read, it's dishonest.

5. "Living History" by Hillary Clinton was a very enjoyable read.
She is an amazing person who I respect.

11. He's the same guy.....
...... who wrote a "tell-all" book about JFK and his late wife, Caroline, detailing in the ugliest way possible their alleged drug use, infidelities, etc.

Of course, the dead can't answer back.

He's slime.
