Boycott Barnes and Nobles

I'm tired to going to book stores and seeing these left-wing propaganda books put on the front shelves with giant signs pointing at them and right-wing book are either non-existant in that store or is hidden in the back somewhere. I have noticed this at Borders as well.

Then I go to Barnes and Noble, make a point to head back to the back, pick up an Ann Coulter book and pay for it up front.

Better yet, use Barnes and Noble for all of your conservative book-purchasing needs, and silently loath the leftist BS every time you walk by it. Show Barnes and Noble that you know their shit and you don't buy it so up theirs.

maybe it depends on your area. here most people are conservative so the liberal stuff isn't given center stage. i once spent a fair amount of time talking with a young liberal clerk at the political section. by the time i got done with him, he was seriously starting to question liberalism. :icon_lol:

This is kind of a rediculous reason to boycott Barnes and Noble.

Most stores are there to attract business, not promote an agenda. Depending upon the area, certain books are higher in demand than others. Thus, if a liberal political book was in more demand than a conservative book, it would logically be more visable. I'm not saying all stores are non-partisan, but you shouldn't insinuate that their book placement reflects their opinions in all cases; at least they're selling conservative books.

Also, the head of Barnes and Noble doesn't control book placement in their stores. Each manager and owner has their own seperate agenda.

I bought a nice book on Artillery from a barnes and Noble once.

The day Coulter's book Slander came out, it was not to be found on the front shelves. But, Clinton's biography is still on the front shelf for all to see when they walk into the doors. Coulter is a better author than Clinton and Gore but their books will always be in the front while her books will never be in the front, even the days they come out.

Barnes and Noble is a business. They are going to promote whatever sells in that area. Ann Coulter's and Michelle Malkin's books are always out in the open at any bookstore I go to, including Barnes and Noble. But if you are in SF...you might find them in the back of the store on the lowest shelf behind the cobwebs....it all depends on where you are.

[Guns R Cool]

I think we are all forgetting that Gore's book is in the fiction section. Or did no one actually click on the link.

[Helio]

Fiction is also frequently instrumentalized by propaganda and advertising...it is also preceived as a form or art and/or entertainment as the book/movie An Inconvenient Truth states.

When I went to our Border's to pick up Godless the liberal cashier tried to talk me out of it, saying, "You don't really want to read that, do you?" I said, "Well, only once. After that I'll probably use it to hit a liberal or two." He gave me a dirty look and finished the transaction. :icon_twis

Liberals are such ====ing morons when it comes to things like that. Conservatives FIGHT for the liberals right to say things like "you dont' really wanna read that", and liberals fight for the right to REFUSE to allow you to read it. ====ing wackjobs.

[Oi_Ve]

The Barnes & Noble I go to has most new conservative and liberal literature on a table up front.
But the Barnes & Noble in my hometown has primarily conservative literature up front.
Like Wadi says, it differs on area.

[the-man]

It may be that the conservative books are high in demand so they place them in the back and force the customers to look at the less selling books.

When I go to a book store, I buy: Art books (I'm an amateur cartoonist), War and history, and science.
