Wing-Nutzoids Stand up for Sarah

An employee at the bookstore where my daughter works  dissed the new Sarah Palin book:

"Our customers are thinking people," said Nathan Emetson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. "They're not into reading drivel." There's not a single copy on the shelf. Embretson said no one has asked for it except for one guy, who was kidding.

The fringe commenters at 'freerepublic' aren't going to take this, uh, standing up! (I'm guessing they're sitting at their computer while they spew their hate.) They quoted the first sentence (mocking the book) but didn't include the second sentence, explaining their customers weren't interested. So the freerepublic community piles on… I think they smell a conspiracy!

"When you live in the fag-mafia territory, you live by their rules."

"Can’t wait till our side gets back in control and drops the hammer on San Fran. We’ll make the whole city one big prison for rapists and child molesters. It’s logistically efficient."

"I was thinking neutron bomb.
My grandma lives in Palo Alto and has a few years left in her, so I'd like to spare that town, but otherwise, I'm all for nuking the Bay Area from orbit! "

"This is Pelosi’s District... And this is why she thinks she can be as left as left can be — they’d never vote her out!"

(Actually, it's not Pelosi's District. But, this isn't the fact-based crowd.)

"I am sure that Sarah is crying over this..I really do not care what the queers of SF think.. and I doubt anyone else does either..One day the earth open up and swallow all of you pathetic pieces of garbage up…"

"Lest we forget, this is how the “Reality Based” community operates. How they can claim that is beyond all logical thinking. Liberalism is a mental disorder and that is the true reality."

I asked the daughter if she hung up on the callers (they've been getting pelted). She said: "Nope- I've been asking where they are. They think we're in SF because they're all calling from other states, so when they say San Francisco I offer to find a book store there and that usually ends the conversation."

I'm proud of her, of course, for remaining polite to folks who would like to see her bombed.

Just for the record, I get my monthly Runners World at Pendragon and have purchased some Dashiell Hammett and Born To Run and John le Carre. Nice place. And Pendragon does carry Ayn Rand. So, it's not like you can't find your serious right-wing whack there.
