Swift Vets are their Michael Moore.....?????

Heard today (link to NY times...but you have to be a member, I don't do that) that the swift boat book is going to be #3 week after next at the NYT's.
The times does a strange thing where they announce their best seller's about 12 days before they actually appear.
I personally think F 911 helped solidify Kerry support, but didn't change a lot of minds. I'm going to guess that the same will be true with the swift boater's book. They might sell a lot of copies, but they're singing to the choir.

1. Kick...cause everbody hates this subject..but it ain't going away.

This is probably more serious than most of us would like to admit.
If it's not...........never mind.

3. Books like the swiftys are bought in bulk to jack up the numbers..

Watch the NYT best seller lists; they have a special mark beside books like that explain this. Just about all RW books have done this; Hannity, Coulter etc. They then "give them away" on sites for a penny as part of some deal they have; this isn't new, trust me on this.

2. No, it's not.

I was just over at the freeper site, and they were talking about a film due out in about a month. I couldn't stay there long (it's just too creepy), but I do think we, including Kerry, are not taking them seriously enough! The film is being touted as their anti Michael Moore.

5. "Michael Moore Hates America"

Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 03:42 AM by drhilarius

A stupid film with a faulty premise made by a total jackass (the Daily Show did a great piece illustrating what an incompetent boob he is).

4. Disagree with your

didn't change a lot of minds per the post just here on DU. For every post that states it did, how many more people are out there that have done the same but we haven't heard about?

6. It's a book...

Undecideds probably won't read it, they probably don't read any partisan books for that matter. F911 on the other hand was a hot movie that got even more hype and didn't require the effort of reading. Moore is still unmatched.

7. Look for '+' next to the title ...

that means that a large portion of the sales are bulk orders, not individual ones.
