quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead There was a nice line about patriotism from some evil liberal during the Bush junta. The evil liberal pointed out that somebody who accepts whatever their country does without question or comment is crapping out of the social contract, while somebody who does try to take issue with the stuff that's wrong and correct (or at least improve) it is somebody who loves their country a lot more than somebody who's willing to let it go to hell so long as there's somebody they voted for in the white house. Of course, it was a liberal who said this, so the point's obviously bullshit... heh Obviously

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl While I agree with much that he said, its not anything I didnt already know. The fact that its to peddle his book just pisses me off. Not everyone is up to speed tazzygirl (he did not write the book with you in mind). Many are just now waking up. Why be pissed at the messenger for getting the message out?

Im pissed at the greed. If he was not making money off this, would he have said a word? would he have created the video?

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl He has some compelling arguments What exactly did he argue in that clip? The only thing he did was ask open-ended questions. What if? What if he actually went back to being a judge then he might have a little more credibility. But hey, buy his book. Because that was the whole purpose of that video.

Karl Marx got paid an advance for Das Kapital. Does that make it a bad book? The same objection can be applied to pretty much everything by Barbara Ehrenreich and Michael "Factchecker" Moore, every feminist book ever published, No Logo, Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail, pretty much every book since the war besides The Turner Diaries, in fact. (That one was vanity published through some sort of gun club vanity press samizdat.) I take your point, and yes, ideology and mammon are incompatible, but sadly these days ideology either has to bend over and take a little corporate cock or give up.

and people wonder why we dont buy neocons versions of facts.theyve been asleep for the past 8 years and have been slowly catching up with faux fables

tazzygirl -> RE: Dangerous to be right (11/27/2011 3:59:58 PM)
Im not saying the book is bad.. or that the information is wrong. Its hypocritical to me to publish a book about whats wrong about an issue while being part of whats wrong about an issue. Again, does anyone believe this video would have been made had he not been selling the book? I dont.

Do you expect him to give it away for free and absorb all costs himself? $17.23 for his latest from B&N. Most of the crap out there goes for a lot more and worth zero. Hell, the vampire shit out there is going for more.

I think Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is going for less than ten dollars in the current edition. No idea what the last edition of I Am legend costs, but I'd hope there was a cheap edition to tie in with the shit Will Smith film and Dracula and Carmilla are what? Five dollars? If you don't like being lumped in with Albert fucking Fish and Ed Geinbecause you have a taste for deviant and painful sex, don't go lumping everybody who's ever written about vampires in with that sparkly shite. Was Keats a talentless mormon shit?

tazzygirl -> RE: Dangerous to be right (11/27/2011 4:06:27 PM)
Again, it doesnt have anything to do with the soft of the book.

Lucylastic -> RE: Dangerous to be right (11/27/2011 4:06:41 PM)
And it wasnt worth the internet service, if hes been sitting on the truth for five years, just to point it out now greed with bullshit is exactly what it is.

Hell, the vampire shit out there is going for more. The greed doesnt have anything to do with the cost of the book. It does if the book's going to make it into the chains, I'm afraid. What percentage of the cover price makes it back to the publishers, and what fragment of that does the author get? How much goes to the distributor and the retailer instead?

Better to slit the throat of the messenger than go for the message. Napolitano is just a wank peddling a book. [click] Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Move along.[click]

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Again, it doesnt have anything to do with the soft of the book. Sorry. This shit about vampires just pisses me off bigtime. Three hundred years of literature can get dismissed because some pouty cunt who can't act is wearing glitter in a shitty film?

No no no. You are looking at this from the wrong side.
