The Lefter's Playbook for Winning Elections
COSTCO REMOVING D'SOUZA'S 'AMERICA' FROM SHELVES
Quote:NEW YORK – The retail giant Costco Wholesale has issued an order to remove all copies of Dinesh D’Souza’s bestselling book “America: Imagine the World Without Her” from the shelves of its stores nationwide.
The book, in this mid-term election year, is a strong rebuttal of the progressive ideology behind President Obama’s policies, which have been supported by Costco co-founder and director Jim Senegal, a major Democrat donor and a speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention that nominated the president. A Washington Post political reporter has noted Obama’s “romance” with the nation’s second-largest retailer.
At Amazon.com, D’Souza’s book, released June 2, is ranked No. 43 overall and is the No. 3 hardcover book in Amazon’s Politics and Government section and No. 1 in the Commentary and Opinion subsection of Politics and Government.
Costco has sold more than 3,600 copies of “America” nationwide, with about 700 copies sold last week as D’Souza’s film by the same name opened at more than 1,000 movie theaters nationwide.
But Costco’s book department issued the “pull-order,” requiring all Costco stores nationwide to remove the book, confirmed Scott Losse, an inventory control specialist in the book department at the Costco Wholesale corporate office in Issaquah, Wash., a suburb of Seattle.
The July 1 order required all copies to be removed by July 15.
Contacted for a reaction, D’Souza was surprised to learn of the Costco decision.

RE: The Lefter's Playbook for Winning Elections
Is this the same Costco that has reduced their staff to part timers in order to avoid the Obamacare disaster and has fought off unions? Just wondering.

RE: The Lefter's Playbook for Winning Elections
I didn't even know Dinesh D'Souza was still around after his numerous scandals. I think he graduated from the Newt Gingrich School of Family Values. The fact that he's still embraced by the right-wing shows how little they really believe in "family values".

The only scandal I know of is when Obama using the DOJ and the IRS to target him because they did not like his criticism. Typical lefter for ya.

The particular scandal you're referring to is the one where D'Souza pleaded guilty and where the judge said that the defense offered zero evidence of selective prosecution.
I'm unsurprised that you aren't aware of his personal failings while running King's College. The right-wing media doesn't like to dose your type with too much reality. They can't control you as easy if you actually know what's going on.

As with such federal court cases, you plead out to save money, that's reality when you can't do much against the unlimited resources of the gov't. Maybe you should read up on this administration's selective prosecution.
Obama targeting his enemies is already established. You need to start smellin' what your shoveling.

RE: The Lefter's Playbook for Winning Elections
The playbook for winning elections - promise the world to everyone. Tell them you're going to increase spending on A, B, C, all the way down to Z to make sure you've covered your entire audience. Next, tell them you're going to cut taxes for everyone. Finally, tell them you're going to balance the budget.
This way, you've made everyone happy, without promising anything that can actually be delivered. The best part is, it works for both parties. Every time.

I thought that was the British courts when they called Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" fiction.

In the world of scandals D'Souza's name doesn't have the same recognition as Obama, Clinton and Holder, and $20k isn't the same as lost American lives or government agencies targeting tax payers, reporters and their parents. But keep grasping at straws, it's fun to see liberals drown in their own verbal diarrhea.

You're confused. I know - shocking to see a right-winger confused. Conspiracy theories aren't scandals. Scandals are things like a right-wing icon who is president of a "christian" college getting caught spending the night in a hotel with a woman who isn't his wife. That's a scandal. Scandals are things like a right-wing icon pleading guilty to fraudulent campaign donations. That's a scandal. I know it's tough for you righties to tell the difference between reality (where scandals occur) and your imaginations (where conspiracy theories occur), but at least try.

Why to not address the issue. But Americans are dead - Fact. The IRS targeted members of an opposing political party - Fact. Holder spied on the AP, Fox, and Rosen's parents - Fact. That's 3 scandals. Yet the left calls them conspiracies.
What do you call them?
