1. Listen carefully!

That sound you hear is Republican/Tea Party heads exploding all over the country. Yet another talking point proven to be a lie. Now let's see if they actually admit it on their "news" programs, and not buried somewhere as some vague apology.

3. Someday, somewhere...

The hardcore Freeper Teabaggers will end up in a padded cell, curled up in the fetal position, twitching and endlessly repeating "Benghazi... Benghazi... Benghazi..."

4. Sadly, not a chance

They'll see this as persecution of a patriot. They'll howl about how his free speech has been denied, as if everyone in the country has a first amendment right to a lucrative book contract. This'll make him a martyr and a hero to them.

7. Ding! Here's to the smartest person in the room.

It will be a conspiracy; Obama forced him to recant or something, and the liberal media went along with it!

[PatrynXX]

9. ie

why would certain sellers give the book up. It's now what they would call a banned book (not really ) but to them it is. So now they can jack up the price. If the Obama Nation can sit on the shelf with the idiot spending 1/2 the book showing references of him quoting himself ho hum.....

[AAO]

10. Most people have no clue as to what "freedom of speech" really means.

dumbasses.

[underpants]

13. This has already been cemented as a fact to talk radio I am sure

I don't catch hardly any talk radio now due to my new job and schedule. But it works like this - the day after that story it was all hands on deck drilling this home. Their listeners will never know that it was retracted and it will still be mentioned from time to time to keep it as a "fact". And yes playing victim FOR this guy will be the start of it... Without telling the audience why.

[hue]

24. YUP! This is def how it works! Hence RW sheeple are never exposed to the truth!

[DeSwiss]

17. !

[font size=1]I still be digging on James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti[/font]

[frylock]

6. are you kidding? they'll just think it's a conspiracy..

Obama's New Black Panthers threatened to incarcerate the producers of 60 Minutes and the publishers at Simon & Schuster.

[Arkana]

14. Of course they won't

Barack Hitler Obama used his brownshirt Gay Abortion Squad to make Davies recant under penalty of forced sodomy, duh. Don't you know ANYTHING?

[R Merm]

15. Half of the CBS posts

are the nuts claiming CBS was pressed by the administration to change the story, or that it is the FBI lying. They are still insisting that there is something there and we need to continue House investigations. Come on, these are the same idiots who still insist Obama was born in Kenya.

[Berlum]

2. Republicon Bengazi Bullshit BlowOut

About time the RepubliWankers gagged on blowback from some of the crap they have been heaping on America.

[WinstonSmith4740]

5. Yeah.

It's a damn shame that Jon Stewart isn't on Friday night...he'd have a field day with this one. Can't wait to see him on Monday!!!

[Xipe Totec]

8. Just move it to the fiction section along with the rest of the right wing drivel. nt

[AAO]

12. Maybe NEWSMOX or WORLNUTDAILY will by them up so it can make the NYTimes Bestseller list!

No sarcasm here. It's what propelled the crazy Alaskan wench to 2 NYT "Bestsellers".

Fucking pathetic morons.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. Dear Mr. Davies:

Fuck you harder.

Yours truly,
Barack Obama

[Kingofalldems]

16. Ha ha. James Woods won't like this one.

[workinclasszero]

18. WTH happened to 60 Minutes?

Mike Wallace must be spinning in his grave!

19. "Threshold Editions, a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS"

Threshold is basically a line to horn in on Regnery's market, catering to RWers. Glenn Beck and a bunch of other RW "personalities" publish through them, and Mary Matlin is some sort of roving editor. A one-stop rube-bilking and Wingnut Welfare shop.

How tough do you think it was for them to feed 60 Minutes free advertising...err... I mean an "inside scoop" on a hot topic sure to draw eyeballs?

[Ratty]

21. OK. Wow. That is new information for me

Unbelievable. When I read that line in the OP my mouth literally dropped open. Forget journalistic integrity, let's just hawk our books.

25. Is Glenn Beck wearing Nazi uniform on that book cover?

He really does want to be fuhrer, doesn't he?

[workinclasszero]

22. Wow no wonder then

Thanks for the info
