According to this article there were 3,600 copies of the book sold at Costco during the month of June. Costco has 649 stores therefore they sold on average 5.5 books per store over a month's time. Costco make profits on volume and 5.5 books per store in a month is extremely low volume. No matter the content, Costco would return any book with such low sales. This was a sales decision not political censorship.

By the way, after the movie came out sale of the book rose so Costco re-ordered it.

This article brings up an interesting point;

Not to mention, how do people think Costco buys books? Just randomly? There is no way that this book ended up at Costco without awareness of the content of the book, as well as the history of the publisher and author. Dinesh D’Souza, the author has made a whole career of writing books and making documentaries about how horrible liberals and Obama are for the US. And the list of books from the publisher, Regnery Publishing, makes it abundantly clear what side of the political aisle they are on, and it is definitely not the same one as the the current administration. I think Costco had sales expectations for this book that it did not meet. Perhaps they should have waited to make a decision about its continued poor sales record until after the movie was released. Of course, maybe this was just a part of the regular process they have for reviewing book sales. But whatever the reasoning, it looks tenuous at best to say that dropping the book was based on the political content of the book.

Don't you think that if they wanted to "censor" the book they would never have put it on their shelves in the first place?

I bet that the AC is, or is associated with, the author. Sorry but reader here can do a little research and math as well as read books.

Unlike some other former presidents who during from 1/01-01/09 spent a great deal of time relentlessly attacking the then President and attempting to undermine him... 43 seems to have opted to allow the current president to succeed or fail on his own.

No, he delegates the undermining to former VP (and part cyborg) Cheney.

(Check into how much GE donated to the Dems and how often their CEO gets White House visits. Basically, follow the money).

Seems somebody looked at the gun sights on this http://www.alan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sarahpac_0.jpg and acted on it. Scary.

So what is the gun sight graphic supposed to tell us to do? Shoot Arizona three times? With what caliber a weapon? Should we be worrying about impressionable space alien nutcases dropping asteroids on these targets?

And who was shot, with a gun, in the three cases where the graphics are colored red?

It isn't just "crosshairs". People like Palin are continually exhorting their followers to "reload". Her facebook page even has crosshair symbols on a map and the names of politicians who didn't vote the way Palin wanted them to.

And Gabrielle Giffords name is on that.

Sean has his own radio show. No Colmes.

More recently, Alan Colmes has gotten his own radio show. The show is even syndicated by that network that the Left likes to attack as a bunch of fire-breathing right-wingers, which kinda gives the lie to their assertions.
