A traitor of the first class

I notice that Clark Kepler likes to have very liberal people lecture at his bookstore. When was the last time Kepler had a conservative speak? When is he going to have Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham or Andrew Breitbart speak? Kepler should't complain about Amazon when he engages in soft censorship by not allowing conservative voices speak at his bookstore.

Start a conservative book store, Hank. You can prove how easy it is to beat amazon.

It's called the invisible hand of the free market.

invisible hand, you either missed Hank's point, or you are just excercising the liberal MO of spinning things way out of context. Nobody suggested a conservative book store, just simply a more balanced one. Nobody is out to "beat Amazon", nor does anybody think that is even possible. Amazon needs to start playing on a level playing field by collecting sales tax, which in turn supports the local services I assume you use.

Meantime, back to the subject of the article, in spite of Kepler's not so subtle omission of most things conservative, I still felt the desire to support his book store, as I do all locally owned businesses. But now Kepler has lost me. Anybody who offers a forum to a low life scumbag like Jane Fonda, without holding her responsible for her self serving, anti-American traitorious activities, I will take that as an endorsement of her motives, and will no longer support that person. It's been nice doing business with you, Clark. Maybe, if you decide to expose her for what she really is, I might come back.

logic and hank:

perhaps it isn't censorship, but actually virtually no demand locally for fox/heritage/koch created and supported talking heads

seriously, how many conservatives are elected on the peninsula?

if there was demand, ksfo or the other conservative stations would host them at an event

if there was demand, Hank and the invisible hand of the free market would have a golden opportunity to open a store

just no demand

these guys get most of their books bought up by the thinktanks and given away, anyway

look at the promotions on newsmax and the other sites; no one actually buys a brietbart book

no real demand or sales for wingnuts, especially locally

Like Jane Fonda can give advice to anyone. Her life was a car wreck which she blames on a distant Father and a suicidal mom. She is such an attention seeker. Jane, isn't it about time to go away quietly since you have found such "peace" in your world. I would rather buy tickets to a little league game than spend time with her memoirs.

Maybe if conservatives (beyond the few who post here) learned to read books, there would be a demand for conservative writing beyond garbage like Palin's book.

Hmmm........you represent the depth of liberals perfectly, implying that Sarah Palin is the benchmark, if not only, conservative read. How pathetic, but true to form. [Portion removed. Accusing someone by speculation.] You would rather spew nonsense about irrelevence than actually listen to what a good conservative has to say. The same conservatism that built a solid respectable country, rather than the wimpy social giveaways that you seem to embrace, which are running this country into oblivion. [Portion removed. Discuss the topic. Don't attack other posters.]

Besides, as soon as the liberal censors at Almanac read this, they will probably take it down anyway, rather that risk offending their staunch liberal reader base.

Jane Fonda told our Country that we "should not hail the POWs as heroes because they are hypocrites and liars".

When the subject our of brave POWs being tortured was brought up she said it was "laughable". I fail to see the humor in our brave servicemen who sacrificed greatly so that we can enjoy our freedom as being "laughable".

Jane Fonda then said "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed".

Jane Fonda further said that the POWs were "exagerating, probably for their own self-interest" and then said "Never in the history of the United States have POWs come home looking like football players. These football players are no more heroes than Custer was. They're military careerists and professional killers trying to make themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according to law."

And liberal self righteousness lives on. They honor traitors by hosting events for them and denigrate American Heroes by spitting on them when they sacrificed greatly so our country can be free.

logic:

For conservative books, the best you can come up with in comparison to Palin is a dead guy?

Was expecting Rick Parry's book, where he calls Social Security and Medicare unconstitutional, to be your touchstone.

Wingnut books are supported bulk purchases. No one buys them in real bookstores, let alone in the bay area bookstores. So why have the author speak?

"This is a long-running phenomenon -- conservative books nearly always outsell liberal books in large part because of bulk orders. A couple of months ago, for example, Mitt Romney boosted sales of his book by requiring various schools, think tanks, and institutions to buy thousands of copies in exchange for his speeches. Various conferences and Republican outlets do this all the time."

Mitt Romney required schools to buy his books? You see how desperate and nonsensical the liberals claims are. They read some piece of horse manure on a left wing website and then accept that as gospel. This makes about as much sense as the New York Times excoriating Ronald Reagan when he said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!". The NYT went apoplectic at these "lunatic ravings of an irrational man" that would most certainly plunge our country into a war-- and hasten the demise of Western Civilization. Then those feckless fools at the New York Times looked like the simian dolts that they are when the Wall came tumbling down.

"Mitt Romney required schools to buy his books? You see how desperate and nonsensical the liberals claims are."

So sad that Hank couldn't bother to read the link the man provided that show the facts. Web Link

Shows why some books don't sell - their readers can't even click links.

"The hosts ranged from Claremont McKenna College to the Restaurant Leadership Conference, many of whom are accustomed to paying for high-profile speakers like Romney. Asking that hosts buy books is also a standard feature of book tours. But Romney's total price — $50,000 — was on the high end, and his publisher, according to the document from the book tour — provided on the condition it not be described in detail — asked institutions to pay at least $25,000, and up to the full $50,000 price, in bulk purchases of the book. "

Invisible hand---nobody compared Palin to Buckley. The point was that even one of the most respected conservatives and best seller ever, would not have gotten a forum at Kepler's. What an incredible spin--so typical of libs when they have nothing constructive to offer, which is usually the case. Then your colleague "hmmm...." suggest that Palin is the face of conservatives...you [word deleted] do plenty to discredit whatever is left of liberal credibility---now there's an oxymoron!
